There’s some chunks for sure but what’s left in each “MT knob” is holding up great.

Guys...need some input.
I have my Tough Dog suspension on the way (41 up front-45 back)
I have my 5 Dakarzero wheels ready
I need to choose a solid tire. I've run BFG K/O2s on my trucks and on my last LC. Didn't hate them but didn't love them.
Unsure what load rating to go with as well. I'm open to opinions and suggestions all the way around.
Most driving is in town but there will be excursions offroad. No MOAB type offroad. Mostly dirt, sand, gravel, trails...mostly midwest stuff. Also, snow and occasional ice.
May tow a small trailer every now and again.
Thanks in advance.

I'm a newbie here, but I recently changed tires. The original to me Toyo OII were down to 4/32. I decided to go with Yokohama Geo G015 and am very happy. Quieter, nice ride. Hearing wind noise over road noise for the first time. I'm like 90% on road and so far I like them. I could have squeezed a few more months out of the Toyo's but glad I switched. One other observation, Even though they're A/T, the Geos don't look very aggressive either from the side or the tread. I've read the comment that the side lugs are basically useless. I'm fine with the looks and less aggressive sides.

What’s the status on your 34’s? How are they working out rub wise?
I like Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo III. I had them on my Tacoma, and will be putting them on my LC shortly. I don't rock crawl, at most it's dirt and gravel as you describe. Great tire for that environment, and excellent on-road.
So with the 3-day weekend, I finally had the time to hit the wheel wells with the heat gun. Pushed them in about an inch or so and... the rub is virtually gone. There's still a *tiny* rub on the KDSS bar on full lock in both directions, but you've really got to be listening to even catch it.
In retrospect, I probably would have gone with a 1" spacer vs the 0.75". That likely would have eliminated the rub on the KDSS in both directions. Live and learn. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I think the RGs in 285/70s really are the perfect tires for our rigs, at least on stock wheels and lift.
Do I wish we could go 35"? Absolutely. But this comes pretty damn close without (most importantly) making significant modifications.

Great to hear. This may be a option when I regear to 4.88’s. If the gears feel to low I’ll go 34.
Thanks again brah!
Mounted the SCS RAY10's with 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. 2 Inch OME Lift. Installer did some significant trimming but ride has been perfect, no rubbing at all.

What rear springs did you end up with? 2" lift also?
Pretty sure we went with the Medium OME rear coils to even out the ride height.
OME2722: .75" Medium Rears Coil
I have the same wheels and tires on the BP-51 lift, remove the front mud flaps, and alignment with under 2* caster - no rubbing or trimming on the wheel well.
Wheels are 17x8.5 +0
Tires are the new Kenda Klever RT in 35x10.50R17 , Pizzacutters FTW!
I need to measure with them on the rigs weight but they are a proper 35" tire.
I will say that the clearancing required wasn't too bad, and required:
- Removal of mud flaps
- Trimming the inboard side of the sideskirt plastic
- Clearancing of the support for the inboard bolt of sideskirt plastic
- Heatgun molding of the front of the fender liner
- Minor trim of the front bumper lower edge
It will hit the dirt this weekend so we will see how it does when stuffed and what else may need to move.

Probably the best pics (side, qtr, front, rear) of 275s on a 200 I’ve seen. Thank you for doing this earlier this year. How are they doing so far? Any noticeable diff from 285s - or just in general if didn’t have 285s? Looks great.
New rubber on

Pulled off the Nexen Roadian HPs (285/60/18) that the previous owner put on. They were not my cup of tea (unnecessarily aggressive directional tread pattern yielded poor mileage & loud drone >20mph for a street tire, etc). My needs aren’t extreme off-roading like most on here, but I feel my 95%...

Anyone running SCS Ray 10s 18x9 with the 25mm offset with 275s and no lift? I'm leaning toward the KM3s after riding in a buddies 4runner where they were very comfortable and not noisey at all for a mud tire. Trying to determine what size tire in the KM3 or KO2 for SCS wheels without a lift. Also, I've seen several posts about trimming to avoid rubbing, but not many pics of just how much trimming was needed. Car is primarily wifey's so looking for an aggressive tire that will fit stock with maybe some plastic bending with a heat gun only.
So I have been reading about tire size, rims, offset and spacers for days. Kinda new when it comes to offset and spacers. I have a simple question. I have '13 LX with stock rims/tires. I would like to drop down to an 18" tire. There are two sets of LC OEM rims for sale by me, one set from a '13 LC 9WITH 275/65R Geolanders) and one set from a '19 LC (285/60R Dunlop AT23) The '19 set are listed at 60MM offset.
Would either of these sets fit my LX with no mods?

Try this thread... Tire Pressure recommendation
Either set should be fine. You have to exceed 33” O.D. or radically change the offset to have an issue. I have 275/60/20 with NO rubbing even in low mode.
