I need a set of new tires next few weeks. Currently looking at a set of Nitto Terra Grappler. OEM size is 275 60R 18, what's the maximum size I can go w/ the OEM 18" rim while maintaining same fuel economy and comfort/performance? a size up?
 
oi vey! :popcorn:

in all seriousness:

a) search!
b) you will sacrifice both by going up in size and load rating. TG's are E rated (perhaps D in some sizes).
c) 275/70R18 or 285/65R18 are the most common modest upgrade sizes gives you around a 32.5" tire that is a good compromise.
d) search!
 
am I ok with those two sizes without any lift? just factory suspension....
 
I went all the way to 295/70/18 mud terrains with no lift. had to trim the front fender wells a little but that was it. Here is the thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/483768-18s-tire-question.html
