New tires

I have a one and a half inch leveling kit on the front of my truck. I'm about to buy new tires for the first time since I personally bought the truck I'm looking for some advice. Currently there are 265/70/16 on it. The guys at NTB are trying to sell me on 265/75/16 only bc they're in stock. I really want the OEM size. Is there any reason not to go with the one size up taller?

 

Probably not. Will NTB warrant they will not rub?

 

Only thing they said was they wouldn't know until they got the tires on there how it would lineup

 

I ran 265-75-16 on stock suspension and they didn't rub.

 

Second this ^^^ I also have 265/75/16s on stock suspension and no rub. I even have an ARB bumper up front that makes it sag and it still doesn't rub. I'd go with the 265/75s if I were you. You should not have any problems with rubbing, except maybe on the front mud flaps

Edited to add: I kept my front mud flaps on also fyi

 

I removed mine off the day I bought my truck. Ugly.

 

Yeah, I don't care for they way they look either, but I live on 2-3 miles of dirt road that I drive a couple times everyday, and I needed to leave them on for the extra protection.. I've been considering some Rokblokz lately though..

 

Can either of you provide a pic? Just curious how it'll look with the taller tire

 

That pic is ancient history for me. I'm rolling 315-75-16 now. Let me see if I can find one on my old phone.

 

265/75R16 - Stock suspension

 

265/75/16 michelin ltx a/t2

 

Has anyone ever ran provider entrada tires?

 

I would go bigger, with a caveat... Keep an eye on the load range. If you don't need a 10 ply tire (assuming they are E's), you are adding more weight and a bigger up-front cost.

 

I've 265/75/16s on stock suspension. No rub, I say go for it. I'm running st Maxx's (load range E's)

I can't tell in difference in the truck over the rugged trails in 265/70 that were on it

 

Cooper RTX anyone?

 

Tacomaworld.com cooper rtx thread.
One of several I found using Google search engine and typing tacomaworld.com cooper rtx..https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...usg=AFQjCNHmv-sSLKblG4FDaRrO0IuMNCamdw:hattip:

 

After all that I ended up with these. Same tires I had before. They are tried and true for as little off the asphalt as I do. Gravel, dirt road is about as off road as I get. Cooper HTP, they are the smoothest ride ever. BTW I tried the providers for about 12 hours. They were terrible.

 

I have these tires (cooper htp) on my 4Runner . Wet /rain traction is amazing

 

They're not the aggression look I wanted but you can't beat the ride quality and tread life warranty. Although I would love to have put some all terrains but couldn't justify them driving 99.99% of the time on asphalt.

 

They look pretty good tho.
