So I have been looking at replacing my stock wheels and tires w/new more off road worthy. I have seen many owners using different tires on their 2008-14 LC 200 ranging from BFG, Toyos, Nittos, Falken, Cooper and the list goes on, but I really need to know, which of these tires will offer the quietest ride with better performance than my stock ones for mudding, snow and occasional off roading.
Here is what I have set my eyes on so far after visiting a local Les Schwab Tires store. If I stay with the size 285/60/18 or 285/65R/18 since I am being told 17 inch won't fit due to the size of the rotors w/the brakes caliper.
- Toyos @ $400/each (see image attached)
- Falken WildePeak @ $350/each
- BFG KO2 @ $280/each
- Back Country SQ-4 @ $220/each (the sales person tells me this is the quietest one and in par w/Toyos performance)
As for rims, I really like the subtle look of black powder coated Fuel (attached).
My questions are:
- Do you know if 285/65/18 would rub from looking at the pic attached? I think it might
- Can anyone verify if the information I was told by Les Schwab about 17inch rims won't fit is valid for 2016 LC 200?
- Of all the tire options above, which one would you buy for DD, and occasional off roading?
- What do you think of the rim choice? Do you have other suggestions? Anyone able to fit the TRDs 17 inch on their 2016?
