Looking for tires

I have a 2013 Extended Cab Tacoma TRD with a 6ft Bed. I recently put a lift kit in the truck adding 3inces in the front and 2 inches in the rear. I am looking for some good looking tires, something that is a all around good tire but looks good with a meaty look. Im also wondering what size tire works well, i was thinking 32's but is that to big?

 

What size wheels? Are you going for looks mostly.

 

Yea just looks I don't do any off roading. I'm not sure on the size

 

265 70 17 are basically a small 32 or large 31. Most 265/70 tires (depending on what you get) don't rub on a stock truck.

 

So you can run 265/70r17 or 265/75r16 (depending on your wheel size) with no rubbing. At the very most, you'll have to remove your mud flaps. Here is my truck with 2.5" front and 2" rear lift running 265/70r17.



Here is that same lift running 285/75r16, which is an inch taller and an inch wider. Running that size looks awesome, but is pretty much guaranteed to rub. You'll have to cut and hammer stuff out of the way. It also hurts your MPG by a few because typically tires of this size come in load E and are very heavy. Great for off roading, but very heavy.


My recommendation is to get a tire in 265/70r17 or 265/75r16 in P load, but pick an aggressive tire. That's the key to it looking great and not too small. I say load P because you said it's all for looks, so the increased durability and weight of a load E is pointless.

 

Awesome thx guys this really helps!

 

I'm pretty sure you can fit 33 inch tires with that lift with CMC and some cutting. 285/75r16 or 255/85r16.

 

What he said! ^^ Load E is overkill

 

Toyo Open Country AT2 (P rated) might be a good options. I just put these on my 2000 and am very happy. These Toyo's ride better than the Goodyear Wrangler SRA(street tires) that I took off. They aren't much louder than the SR-A's either.

 

Had AT2's on our old T4R. Loved that tire. Really quiet and smooth and good looks. Didn't have them in the size we wanted this go around, but +1 for the Toyo AT2's!
