First post here.
I began researching the LC200 about a year ago, and I have learned so much in these forums! I pulled the trigger on a 2021 heritage edition in early April 2021, and I love everything about it. I’m not planning any significant modifications at this point, but I’m looking to put a set of dedicated winter tires along with a set of Tundra #75157 wheels.
I previously drove a 2018 Mercedes GL450, and I would throw HAKKAPELIITTA R3s on during the winter, and they worked great. But I’ve read so many positive reviews about the BLIZZAK and thought I would give them a try.
A question for posters using dedicated winter tires, what size of Blizzaks DM-V2s do you run on your LC200? Below are a few options I’m considering:
Option 1: Swap out my current OEM tire/wheel set up for the exact size tire. It seems like it’s the easiest, and the spare would match.
BLIZZAK DMV2 285/60R18 116R SL BSW
Option 2: Go with the taller and thinner tire below. Would the 114R load rating work for the LC200? Should I also replace my spare to match if I go with a taller tire?
BLIZZAK DMV2 P275/65R18 114R SL BSW
If option 2 above doesn’t work and I want to go still taller and thinner, would the below work?
HAKKAPELIITTA R3 SUV 275/65R18 116R SL BSW
Any other options I should consider that would work without any modifications?
