So next up for replacement are my tires, currently wearing Toyo Open Country AT 265/70/16's for the last 40k or so

Slightly larger than the factory set up but with absolutely no rub

I have been only mildly impressed with the tread wear and durability of these tires (my truck has stayed mainly on road for the last few years)



I have heard good things about the BFG KO2's and the price seems reasonable - does anyone have feedback on these or any suggestions for other brands to consider?

What is the largest tire you guys are running with no lift and no rub?

 

I'm running 255/65R18 General Grabber AT2s on my 2000 DII, highly recommend these tires, quiet on the highway, grip for days off or on road, plenty of tread. Used and abused these things nearly every weekend when I was in college in Phoenix, still going strong

 

Thanks for the reply, I'm really looking for something to fill out the wheel wells!

After some calculations I've figured out that stepping up to a 285/75/16 will increase the width by 0.78" and the sidewall height by 1.11" (2.22" total)

Has anyone run a 285 tire on stock ride height?

 

I ran 265/65r18s for a while before I lifted. I had no rub. I've heard of some people having minimal rub at that size, but nothing very bad.

 

I can't tell you about sizing/rub, but BFG KO2s are basically the go-to tire for overlanders. I don't have them, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy them. They get good reviews.

 

I run Continental Cross Contact tires, 255 50 R19 (RRS wheels) all season which seem good tarmac rubber in the wet and dry also good wear. I run my truck, a TD5, as almost stock and mainly a tow truck with some green laning. In all honesty I had Goodyear F1's new before and they were brilliant roadholding in all weathers but I got the Continentals cheap when the F1's wore out.

 

I think OP is talking larger than stock size but stock height...

I run that 255-50-19 size as well. trying to find some 255-55-19's to fill it out a little more next time around. Running Conti 4x4 contact, not bad tires at all.

 

Correct! No lift but I'm trying to fit as much rubber as possible without any frame / fender contact, a 285 size tire may be too aggressive

 

Be careful, the wider than necessary tire the worse the roadholding and the more the mpg. I have found a stock width tire is more than adequate.

 

I cannot speak more highly of the BFG KO2. They are simply the best all purpose tire you can buy.
