    I am new to the forum, and I am Sure this has been posted, but I am at work and I don't have time to dig through the Posts.
    I have a Stock Toyota 2017 Off Road 4X4 Quad cab.
    It has the Bilstein shocks (Not the TRD PRO shocks)
    I am getting new tires after the Factory ones wore out at 33K
    I was going to get cooper (AT3 but they don't have the ATX in my size, they only offer the LT or 4S) but I am going to consider BFG AT KO2
    As with Most Taco's off the line my shoes are: 265/70/16
    But I can get 265/75/16 for ALOT less.
    Will this RUB? or will I have to remove mud flaps? Anything?
    I have stock rims, stock everything.
    Can anyone please provide thoughts?
    I used the Tacoma Tire Calculator and I understand the size, mileage etc...
    Im assuming the jump in price is due to size standard.
    I got a bumped up warranty too, will the tire size void anything on my warranty?
    I know its a dumb question but I figured I would ask.
    I had a Toyota 4 Runner for 15 years and kept stock size tires on it.
    I used to buy Definity Dakota AT2 tires and they were decently good tires.
    but I want to get the BFG's if I can manage.
    I really appreciate any help

    Thank you

    welcome to TW

    you're good, 265/75/16 will fit....they'll give you a full 1" more tire (and raise the truck ~1/2") over stock

    they won't rub, you shouldn't need to remove mud flaps, and they definitely won't affect your warranty.

    now i'll give you my tire plug.....consider 255/85/16 Cooper ST Maxx. They’re a hybrid MT/AT that wear well and aren’t too noisy. Many of us on here consider them an upgrade from the KO2s.

    I did it and it’s been a great way to get 33s on a stock suspension.

    I was looking at the ST MAXX Myself, it was a nice looking tire.
    That's the 2 I am now deciding between.
    I can get the stock ST MAXX in 265/70/16 for $199 or the 265/75/16 BFG AT KO2 for $189

    I like both photos, they make the truck look really nice

    265/75r16's will fit just fine, look a little better because of size, cause no issues, and perform wonderfully.

    KO2's didn't get to be the #1 selling "off road tire" for no reason at all. They aren't the cheapest, but they ARE a good investment.

    I HATED them at one point. Used to make fun of 'em. That all changed once I started driving on them.

    As with ALL aggressive off road tires...ROTATE. ROTATE. ROTATE.
