Can anyone point to and show me pics of stock 100 on 275 70 18?

I’m trying to decide between 275.70.18 and 275.65.18. Trying to find pics of 100s on either of those.

Thank you everyone!
 
I have AHC on my LX470, and put 285/70R18 B.F. Goodrich KO2s just over a month ago. Here is mine at stock height the day I got them.

Go with the 275 70’s. My 05 is stock except for a little T bar crank up front. It’s a nice size and it seems like it’s what most of us run around here

Here's 275/65/18 in Michelin Defenders (AT2?) about 9 yrs ago, on an '06 LX. Everything else is OEM/stock and not aired down. I will probably go up to 275/70/18's if I don't get my slightly built 2UZFE 4Runner back from my son. I think if you ever plan on doing trails where you'd want to be aired down you'll want the extra inch that the 275/70/18 offers.

If you search "275", limit to titles only and the 100 section only, plenty of threads with pics to view.

 
Go for the 285 definitely. I ran 275/70 and was not happy with the performance. Caused stability control to come on around corners on twisty mountain roads unless I ran them at 60psi or more. Also rock crawling they had less grip than the 285s. I ended up selling them before they even wore out and buying 285/65s again.
 
275/70R18 is the ideal size imo. New tires with 1" spacers:

Old tires without spacers:

You”re talking about a 10mm (less than 1/2”) difference in width, and just over 1/2” difference in height, so I suspect (with limited information) that either the tread design was not adequate at keeping traction, or tire pressure was an issue. I don’t buy the rock crawling grip based on contact size alone because when aired down to the same PSI, the taller tire with give a significantly longer contact patch, much more so than what would be gained by the tread being 10mm wider.

not saying your experience didn’t happen, just not sure your reasoning for was is caused by what you think it was. I could be wrong, but it doesn’t line up with anything I’ve read or ever experienced myself.
