    I think the best looking tire size on these trucks is the 285.

    Requires a lift, cmc and likely new control arms.

    The big boxy pig nose front end looks best with 285's.

    Hard to tell from the picture but I'm betting those are 285's.

    Looks to me like a 265/70 mayyyybe a 275/70.

    The offset and aggressive tire makes it look bigger than it actually is. Imo

    285s are not worth the hassle to me. Getting 265 70 17 wildpeak AT3 in a few days. I plan on running this truck into the ground, not worth making it happen sooner with larger tires and all the wear and tear that comes with it.

    Those are 265/70R17’s. No way that’s a 285. You can clearly see the tire in the back is pretty thin.

    I been debating for WEEKS on which size tire to go with.. and I’m going with 265/75/16. Best bang for the buck and best tire for what I do. If I didn’t daily my tacoma, absolutely would be doing 285s tho.

    That’s what I did. 265/75R16 STT Pro is the best tire I’ve ever run. Had Nitto Trail Grapplers, BFG AT KO2’s, BFG KM2’s Toyo Open Country MT’s and nothing beats the Cooper.

    Yes, but you obviously have wheel spacers. Looks good!

    315/70/r17. Looks the best on a 3 inch lift. You only have to cut 2 1/2 inches off of your fenders and beat the crap out of your firewall next to the cab. Chop the cabmount and lose the inner fenders. So it’s an option

    I was at the tire shop yesterday looking to replace the 285's with 265/70/17. Don't wast your money on 285's.
    Its not the Nitto brand but more the weight, load rating, and overall size of tire.
