You can always increase tire pressure slightly if it feels too squishy. I prefer the ride on the highway with my P rated 275/65r18 Michelin Defender’s at 35-36psi vs the 33psi spec. I’m sure overdoing this would hurt handling but I find a slight increase in psi is noticeable, and subjectively beneficial on P rated tires.

I’d go straight to 285/75/17 or 35/11.5/17 tires.
Love to have the 35/11.5/17 but it requires a rear bumper or some sort of tire carrier. Just wanna slap some beef n go have fun out in the wilderness.
Right now it’s taking forever to run down the 285/70/17.

I am all with you here! I just found out about the Kenda RTs in 35x10.5r17s from Grinchy here on this forum. Ended up going with these and looking forward to getting them mounted then doing a review. I wanted something that would be somewhat simple to install and get me back on the trail soon.
I can figure out all the other items needed to fit full width later on if I need. Would likely need a tire carrier with full width but some say you can get away with modding the bracket.
I don’t recall anyone able to fit the full spare in 35s. I could be wrong. Be awesome to get away with it.
35x12.5 in a slightly modified spare location. Not perfect but the stock resonator would still be the lowest point of contact in the rear (I cut mine off).
I do plan on moving to a swing out in the future, but this will do until I move to a 37 in the spring.

I was a fan of the Wildpeaks, so ill probably go back to them from Ridge Grapplers. As far as wheel, I wouldn't go with the Method Double Standard again. Not a fan of the lip, and the water/mud/whatever it holds onto. So they'll be on the way out soon too
Factory rake meaning the positive camber due to installing larger tires?
My new-to-me 570 has brand new Michelin Defenders on the stock 20“ rims. I would love to get some 18” wheels and put some 275/70s on it. I have the stock TRD Off Road wheels with Michelin AT2s on them from my Tundra sitting in my garage. The AT2s are more capable than most people think, especially for a P-rated tire, but they tend to throw rocks. You can hit your own windshield with them. It’s nuts.
I have about 32k miles on a set of 285/75R18 Duratracs mounted to black TRD BBS wheels on the Tundra. They are fantastic in snow, mud, gravel, sand, and dirt; and they are acceptable on pavement.
I rotate them every 3k miles, and they are just now starting to get a little louder on the highway. I air them down for off-roading. No issues other than shearing off a couple of shoulder lugs here and there.
Back to the 570...the Defenders run so smooth on the highway, and they’ll last forever. I may just leave them on and see what happens. I’d really love to reduce the weight at each corner though, so we’ll see.
