help picking tires

i have a 3 inch lift on a 2012 dbc sport an want to know some opionions on which tire size is the best

 

cab mount chop done?

 

i dont really want to do that though

 

Depends what kind of tire you get. 265/70/17 (assuming you're using your stock wheels) in something a little beefier like a Goodyear Duratrac will look fine. Some tires in that size will look a little small though and you'd want a 285. I have 265/75/16 Duratracs with a 3" lift and I think they look good. I'll be sticking with 265's when they need replacing.

 

do you have any pics with the duratracs ?

 

265/70/17, no trimming but may look a little small. 275/70/17 minimal trimming possibly need wheel spacers. 285/70/70 good amount of trimming and possibly cab mount chop and you need wheel spacers on stock wheels, but its worth it, they fill the wheel wells nicely. another option is tall and skinny, 255/80/17 shouldnt need cab mount chop, some trimming probably but this size is over 33", no need for spacers unless you want the stance to be wider, very limited selection in this size.

my vote is for 285/70/17

 

i kinda want to run the bfg km2 mud terrains but dont know wgat size? idk this is a hard descision

 

I don't think mine look small at all. Like I said, really depends on which tires you have, and what kind of wheels/offset you have.

 

and heres some 285 duratracs for comparison

 

km2's are one of the few tires that are offered in the tall and skinny 255/80/17 you can read up on that size and ask queations about it in here if you are considering it http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/155849-255-85-r16-owners-experience-52.html

 

Had 285/75/16 Duratracs for two weeks now. The wheels have 4.5 backspacing. No cab mount or trimming yet and I haven't been able to induce rubbing yet. However I don't plan on rock crawling or dune hopping. So far driving on pavement and dirt roads has been fine. 285 sure gets a lot of looks at the mall.
