OFFICIAL - 3rd GEN 275/70r17 Tire Thread

Loving the look too brother! So you got 275/70/17 on TRD pro wheels and didn't lift front or back at all? Did you notice any height added and how does it compare ride wise?

I have 265/65/17 on stock wheels and was wondering how big/wide I can go on those...then most likely put 5100s on front to level and leave the back.

 

I got about 1.5" increase in ride height due to the 275 having a 32.2" diameter compared to the 30.6" diameter of the stock Goodyears.

 

Next up is a icon lift, just to level the truck for now.

 

Running 275/70/17 on my TRDOR with stock suspension. Probably going to level the front out soon. Only had the truck for 2 days so far.

 

Can you take a side shot??

 

Here's some better side shots. I'll try to take a better one later today.

 

What's your plan for the lift?

 

Stage 2 Icon for now. I have to have one of the dealership's "authorized" installers put in on for warranty purposes, otherwise I would install it myself.

 

Looks great! I like when there is plenty of tire to fill out of the fender well the way the 275s do.

 

Are you leaving out the add a leaf to just level or are you going to bring up the rear?

 

Still trying to decide really. I guess that is great part of using coil overs.

 

Stock suspension guys still got no rubbing, impressive. Few other threads posters were saying they rubbed on flaps and such.

 

Mud flaps have to go without a question

 

Wont have those on mine, guess that shouldn't be an issue! I know the 275s are E rated, and a bit heavier then the C rated 265s, so gas mileage has to suffer somehow. I'm wondering if you can really tell "by the eye" the size difference between the two. A half an inch here or there isn't the easiest thing to notice without measuring.

 

I compared the two sizes side by side at discount tire before I made my decision and the 275 is slightly wider but noticeable taller. Everyone always talks about how e rated tire are so awful but honestly the bfgs are smooth and quiet for such an aggressive tread pattern. And maybe just a tad firmer on the road. It all depends on your driving style and PSI with these tires I believe.

 

Anybody checked how far off your speedometer is with the ko2's is?

Looks like as much as 3 mph when going over 65 mph

 

I have read multiple people reporting that when they went up to 265/70r17 that their speedometer actually read correct. That's why I was wondering if anyone actually checked with this size. But even if it is off that's good info. 3mph is not hateful.

 

What sort of power loss did you experience going to them? Tread Depot has the 275 KO2 at 55 pounds...

 

No rubbing! They ride great, to me it feels like stock, a slight loss in power but the look of them makes up for that by far!
