Which Tire and Wheel Combo? (1 Viewer)

[SpokaneLX470]

I'm headed to Seattle this weekend and going to be taking a look at these two take offs off new Tundra's.

One set are TRD wheels with the BFG Rugged Trails

TRD Off-Road 18" wheels and tires 07-08 Toyota Tundra $600 - OBO

One set are Regular Aloys with Michelin LTX M/S

07+ Tundra 18" wheels and tires

These would DD Summer Tires as I have a set of Toyo AT's on the stock 16's for the fun stuff, and Blizzacks for the winter.

I've had the LTX M/S's on my old Tacoma and loved them, but have never run the Rugged Trails.

Also, I know they bolt right on and the caps need modiying, but will the stock caps fit right on so I don't have to modify?

So, let's here it, whadyathink?

My 100 came with the BFG Rugged Trails, and after the workout I put them through on vacation off road, I can say I was pretty impressed. They are more of an all terrain tire.

What about road noise with the BFG. Anyone had experiance with the LTX at this size? My Tacoma was a 2wd so they were only 205's but they were really quite quiet.

BFG Rugged Trails are quiet on the road. At least I think so, after years of driving an FJ40 with BFG Mud Terrains as a daily driver...

Spokane, personally I like the look of the alloys over the shiny offroad wheels. Also, your LC center caps would probably match the alloy rims, but might look strange with those offroad rims.

I think I' going to go with the machined alloys with the LTX M/S on them. Ca anyone who has mounted the Tundra Wheels on their LC/LX that the factory caps will fit with the Tundra wheels? Thanks!

There is a thread somewhere that the center caps off the newer style Tundra alloy caps do NOT fit... not sure about the machined

 

[SpokaneLX470]

You are correct, the Tundra caps will not fit on the LC without some patient modification with a dremmel. There is a very nice write up on fitting some Tundra 20's on a LC.

However, what I am asking is will the stock LX caps fit on the Tundra wheels on the LX? Has anyone tried?

In my opinion, the rugged trails were a horrible tire, whereas the LTX is not bad.

I'm running Goodyear MT/Rs. I just take my hearing aids out and they sound nice and quiet!
