Did the 34x10.50 SS fit with or without a lift kit? I am trying to get the largest tire for a 06 lx 470. Even if I have to buy a switch to keep the AHC in high at all speeds. ThanksWell I figured I'd post these in case anyone down the road brought up questions the search function would give something useful to them. Hard to believe that this hasn't really been addressed in a thread too well before now. I had 285/75R16 Dueler A/T Revo's put on today and here are some pictures. The tires fit fine even with the Lexus height control set to low (in case grandma needs to get in one day :) I'll try and link a couple of pictures so that there is a little bit of a reference point. The truck looks so much nicer now. Can't wait to do some "field testing".
Here is the new 285/75R16 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo and the OEM 265/70R16 Michelin LTX for a comparison:
This is the new set of Revo's with the height control at low / normal / high
Long Term Update 02/18/2012
Wow I made a good decision back then. There wasn't any feedback then but I've gone through 2 sets of Revos now totaling 105,116 miles (uncorrected speedo so actually more than that) and they have treated me well. Especially considering I've averaged a bit over 50k out of each set. One set I ran for 47k and probably changed a bit prematurely and the second set I ran for 58k and would not have wanted to go any further with.
My other tire choices and experiences thus far
285/75R16 Cooper STT's:
Be careful as Cooper has the ST (all-terrain) and the STT (more like a mud-terrain). Ridiculous branding idea that causes entirely too much confusion! I will say that the ST were good on my Taco though. The STT's on the 100 have done very well thus far. Much closer to a mud-terrain than an all-terrain and much more road noise than the Revo's. I seem to have to watch the air pressure like a hawk as well. They tend to drop pressure with temperature swings a bit more than other tires I've had. Great tire offroad and to be honest I hardly ever put my Super Swampers on anymore unless I just feel like a change.
So far I have 20,050 miles on the Cooper STT's and they are wearing very well. I expect 40k out of them which is good for an aggressive tire like they are. The rubber compound appears to wear well so I may be surprised but 50k is alot to ask for in a tire of this design. Again a bit more road noise but I find the LX to be so well insulated that it does not bother me even on long road trips.
34x10.50 Super Swamper LTB's:
You better like noise that's all I can say. Not for the faint of heart.

I had no issues with the AHC on high.
Do you mean you always had it in High with an override? Or, they were fine around town in N but offroad with H?

Yep, fine around town on N and offroad on H. No box. You sure know you have some big heavy tires on there though! (not that the AHC box would help that but just be prepared for some significant rolling resistance)
A lift kit on an IFS vehicle doesn't really have an effect on what size tires will fit. The same applies to the ahc setting. The arc that the wheel travels stays the same.
Cool, thanks. How many miles do you have on them now? How are they holding up?
Resurrecting an old thread.
Any more wicked looking treads on LX’s out there? (Pics please!)

Totally newbie to IH8MUD. Any advice is appreciated. I have an '06 LX 470 with 275/65/R18s, and I am about to replace the tires. Would a 33'' tire work on my vehicle with AHC suspension? Likely going with the Revos due to all the fans in this thread.
