Tire size and load suggestions

Long time follower, need help, having my ICON stage 3 suspension installed next week (2015 TRD Sport 4x4 Double Cab). Need advice on tires, need to get new set. Want BFG KO2's, going to stay with stock rim (I like them - currently on 265/65/r17) not sure with size tire I should get and load C or E to fit my stock rim. Would greatly appreciate your knowledge and suggestions. Thank you

 

Depends on your use. Heavy offroading - e load would be better. Mall crawler - c load, save on gas. (No offense but be realistic with how much and how intense your offroad trips are) 265 is stock tire size and does well enough. Many run 285, may (most likely) have to do cab mount chop AKA cmc. 285 will be heavier and reduce mpg and reduced performance. Some regear to help which is pretty expensive. For tires, look into falken wildpeak. Havent ran them personally but seems like a lot on here do!

 

+1 Falken Wildpeak at3..

 

I've been looking to replace my stock BF Goodrich tires from my 2015 and I think I'm going to get these Falken Wildpeaks. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

anything that says MICHELIN

 

I absolutely LOVE my KO2's. I debated the E rating heavily, reading all this stuff about heavy tires slowing me down, etc. and felt like an idiot for over-thinking it after they were installed - Barely feel any difference, if any at all. Absolutely no regrets. They perform incredibly off-road, totally silent running on highway, and look mean. Very confident on these tires. Wearing very slowly as well.

 

Had KO2 on my F150 and wildpeaks at3 on the taco. Love them. Went w/ 265/70r18 with 3" leveling kit. Only rub I get is w front mud flaps when turning off-road. Rubs on the outermost facing nub of flap. No rub without flaps.

 

I've run both Cooper At/3 and Hankook Dynapro ATM. The Cooper's were amazing tires, being passenger rated they rode smoothly and quietly with great gas mileage. Off road they were great and I got around plenty of rocks/boulders/mud/sand without too much of a problem (being all terrain they obviously aren't perfectly suited for any of those things individually). I went with Hankooks the second time around because they were cheaper and had a very similar tread pattern to the Cooper's. They're both equally light tires and should provide similar performance. If I had to recommend one over the other I would recommend the Cooper's since they're a USA company making tires in the USA.

 

Lots of solid advice given. Which tire is right for you depends on what you are looking for out of your next set of tires.
