Had general grabber AT2’s E rated In the stock size for the last 3 1/2 years or so they’ve been really good to me. the rig is my family of five hauler and daily driver had the truck since new… Ive never off-roaded yet, so I was thinking of trying a different tire this time and settled on the P rated Falken AT3W 285 65R/18. Pick them up put my local discount tire and the guy helping me research said that this tire is recommended by Toyota and is used on some of the new tundras… It’s tread depth new looks to be maybe half the height of what the general grabber was when new and from Looking at the tread looks like it’s more street oriented and will be possibly quieter but it still has a little bit of an all-terrain look to it. kind of seems like a hybrid tire that looks somewhat like an AT tire. Also being a 65 the guy discount said this tire will be about an inch or so taller than my stock size so can’t wait to see how that looks. I also ordered rear springs and shocks from the heritage edition from my local dealership to be put on next Tuesday along with these tires to get a slightly lifted look so also can’t wait to see how that comes out and I will post pictures soon as I get the truck back from the dealership… I have the front spacer on my truck and I was told that the front shocks and springs with heritage edition are the same height as a base model Land Cruiser . Can the guy who knows tire pressure advise me on the recommended tire pressure for my new p rated Falken 285 65R 18?? I also just noticed when looking on the side wall this tire that it says made in Japan so that’s cool I didn’t realize that. And yes that is a storm shelter in the picture I’m in Texas and the electric motorcycle is my son‘s Segway X260 that he loves riding!

I guess I'm "the guy" so here's what it is...

If your tires are the WILDPEAK A/T3W P 285 /65 R18 116T SL BSW, then the RCTIP (Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure) for those tires on your LC200 is 33psi F/R.

I know the rear springs from the Heritage Edition are longer than the standard LC but are the rear shocks from the Heritage different or the same? I ask because I’m am also going to do this to get a little more lift in the rear w/o going with heavy springs. From what I understand the Heritage rear shocks are the same part number as the standard LC so I only bought the Heritage springs which I plan to pair with Dobinsons IMS59-60688 struts and C59-540 springs for 1.4” lift on my standard LC lIke in this post

Thank Gaijin for the tire pressure.
Just picked up the truck today from the dealership I’m at 105k so it also got new spark plugs and got the new tires on and they ride extremely quiet and smooth almost like a street tire. That being said the tire did not seem as sturdy is an all-terrain tire from a puncture resistance standpoint, but since my use is just family Hauler then it’s nice to have a smooth ride… The rear springs and shocks are coming in a couple weeks and I’ll post once I get those on and yes chilly GNC I believe the rear shocks are the same size I just went with two new HE stock shocks to get a stock smooth ride and since my truck was nine years old anyway

Sorry I just noticed this picture you can’t really see the tire size good at all I’ll try and get a better shot once I get the rear springs and shocks on in a couple weeks

Ok finally got the rear HE shocks and springs installed and I think it looks great. Ride is just like stock maybe better since they’re new and the Stock ones were 9 years old. Would love to raise the front maybe to even it out some but not sure how to go about that. Already have the spacer in. Not sure what shock spring addition in front woule keep it as stock as possible?? Here’s the befor after pics

Looks great. Before you raise the front end more, you might give the rear coils a little time to settle as they are “new”. You don’t want to level your ride, and then end up in a squat when you load the rear end.

Thnx maybe I’ll just leave as Is.
