I am on my second set of Goodyear Wrangler radials and I will buy a
third and forth set when they wear out.  They are excellent for the
person who once in a while needs some off the road traction but
otherwise drives primarily on the street.  They are quiet, give
excellent tread wear, (expect 45-60 K on your Toyota), provide
excellent traction wet or dry and are durable.  I have hit some
terrible rocks with no damage and have run them with 20 psi for more
traction in the mud and snow with no cord damage.
On my Toyota 4x4 I had 225-75R - 15 which clear nicely and work well.

Rule about tires:  You get what you pay for.  Unfortunately you will
have to pay for the Wranglers, but they are great.
