Anybody running 285/70/18 Toyo MT?

Was hoping to find some pics of them on a 100. Searched, but didn't see 'em. Not sure if this is a new size or just uncommon. My tire guy is bringing in a set for me. Measures in a 34.1 x 11.4. Hoping I didn't go to big, moving up from 305/60/18's. (32.5 x 12.2) Of all my rigs, this one sees the most pavement.

My neighbor had those on his Sequoia and I thought it looked stout. It was a 2wd Sequoia but the tires made it look more like a truck than a grocery getter. He wanted beefier tires to help get him in and out of some desert shooting ranges easier since he didn't get 4wd.

Now he has some Falken AT tires like mine and although it doesn't look as 'tough' he is enjoying the reduced road noise.

Looks like a new size. They also now have the M55's in a higher speed rating at the 255/85/16 size.

Are you running those on stock height or lifted?

AHC lift. Tires should fit OK. I have spacers for up front if needed, prob will use them anyway to restore track width.

That's a great size option. Looks like the BFG MT has it as an option also.

I just picked up a 2003 LX 470. It has the AHC. care to explain what a AHC lift is?

I assume he has the AHC set to high with an override so that it doesn't lower the truck once you start moving..
Slee has and override DIY kit at

near the bottom of the page.

Might be other options to consider forum search should net you something like this

Hope that helps....

The Slee over ride circuitry is one option. But is not really necessary. There are 3 adjustable height sensors on AHC equiped vehicles. One at each front corner, and one in the rear. Alignment and dif drop lit will be required if adjusted for lift. Search AHC lift.
