Largest tire on stock 200 wheels

[TeCKis300]

No one's telling an LC guy to "upgrade" to 20's. Already agreed that 18" is ideal for so many reasons mentioned here.

Just saying for the LX guys on these forums, the stock 20's is not really a limitation either especially when paired with an upsized tire. Not in the least. Sand? Pfff, it's a Land Cruiser. It's just not a limitation unless one is an extreme rock crawler or baja runner. Street cars are generally neither of those. Though I understand that one may want to look like they are

Again, not for everyone, but plenty of sidewall and rim protection for everything I've done.

You are right, but consider getting a set of 18"tundra wheels. Cheap on CL and often with good tires.

But stiletto's look good. IMO.

Ahh, I will convert you to the Brotherhood, and transgender your Lexus.

So a 286/60r20 is 11.2 wide with 6.7 sidewall.

I doubled the sidewall and then multiplied by .66, then added that to the tire width. That essentially assumes that when you air down you’re converting 2/3 of the sidewall on each side into tread.

That gives 20.044

Running the same calculation for the 285/75r17 gives 22.288.

So a 10% increase from the 20 to the 17.

Not sure what the calculation should be, but started there.

I’ll take the 3” stiletto for a mere 10% upgrade.

Chose your preference. You can't have it all. Larger tires (your OP), stock suspension, stock ride quality on road and better traction off road.

285/65R18 will fit and won't rub sitting in your level garage. As soon as you star articulating the suspension you will get rub. Swap out stock springs and shocks for some OME, get E-Rated 285/65R18 KO2s and you will get the tire you want with the ride quality you want.

I am looking at these two tires.
Cooper RTX
NTB - Tires & Routine Auto Maintenance
Nitto Terra Grappler G2
NTB - Tires & Routine Auto Maintenance
This is based on poster comments.
I wanted something better than stock but not full MT or Rock Crawling warrior. Would like to keep the compliant ride quality and keep noise level down.
Good luck with your search and what you eventually pick.

I need something with more traction and durability than the stock rubber, hence why I am asking the question in the first place. The stock meats are great for running up and down the highway and city streets, but this will see use at the ranch, the farm, and the beach, I need better tires for those applications. The ride while important, isn't the main focus here, if I were concerned with that above all else I wouldn't be buying a Land Cruiser to begin with.

My desires list was similar to yours. Comfortable and quiet on road (80% of my driving), traction for light offroad use including sand and snow (20% of my driving) and so far I'm happy with the Michelin LTX AT2s in 285/65R18.

Quick question. without a lift, is a stock tire (285/60r18) the only size that won't rub if articulating on a trail? Thanks!

I am not a fan of e-rated tires. Every time I get them I remember why I didn’t like them. Tires are definitely personal preference though. For me the best tire on a 200 is a D rated. Still can be deflated for off road and not as “heavy” feeling as a E. On my old ‘13 I loved the KO2 34/10.5-17 but just wished it was 1/2”-3/4” wider. But rode so much better than the e rated tires I had on before and after them.

For my ‘19 since I have the BBS wheels in 18” I’m still deciding which size to do. Problem is there is very little support on who makes D rated tires. You can get stock size KO2 or 285/65-18 in Duratracs which I’m not sold on but may just end up with due to their D load.

I have always been a KO2 guy on all my trucks. My last f150 I listened to a friend and put a set of duratracs on. I am now a believer. They were hands down better in the rain and amazing on old logging roads. Never put them in anything worse so can't say beyond that.

Is that confirmed, LC2018? That anything other than stock size will rub at higher articulation? Is there only the Falken tire that's available in 285/65/18 P-metric? I'd love to get a bigger size than stock while keeping the same ride and wet driving capabilities.

I am running the Toyo RT's and am very happy with them on the LC200. I run the toyo MT's on my Jeep and RAM diesel.

I did stay with the OEM size so I wouldn't run into rubbing at compression while turning. I do not know the max size possible but I do know actual tire size varies from manufacture to manufacture. There's a spec sheep on toyo which is accurate for the real tire size.

Can you share a picture?

Yokohoma Geolander G015 in stock size. I did a trip to Moab from SoCal over Christmas break combined with a decent amount of trails at MOAB.

Hit snow, ice, mud the tire was flawless and super quiet on the freeway as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tire.

Pics?

That post is from 2019...also he posted the size just a few posts before..

Largest tire on stock 200 wheels

While I know you have other application, I can tell you that stock will do fine for beach - in fact, the balder the better :) - it's all about airing down. Dubai desert runners use what appear almost more like aircraft tires...no knobbies.

Hello, any chance you have photos of your LC200 with the OEM size Toyo's on it? I have a 2016, looking tires, wanting to leave it stock with no lift. thx!

Any rubbing with the Michelin LTX AT2s in 285/65R18? Stock suspension on the HE? thx!

You all have any luck in first checking the wheel and tire database/google drive spread sheet? I’m not a technophile is why I’m asking.

I have 285/65/R18 KO3 on a 2009 LC and have done the White Rim Trail just outside Moab and had zero rub… my mud flaps did rub on rocks in some of the approaches though…

Not sure if you still need this info but thought I would respond anyway. I had a set of 285/65/18 LTX AT2s installed about a month ago. 2019 LC with the OEM front spacer installed. No rubbing whatsoever and doubt they would rub without the spacer. I replaced a set of KO2’s that I really liked but was looking for something lighter and a little quieter. I’ve been really happy with the Michelins.
