Tire upgrade poll (largest without re-gear)

Hey guys, first post here. Just picked up a 2018 quicksand TRD OR with the automatic trans and am in love with it. I think the stock look is great but would like some bigger tires. I’ve read countless threads on the 265/75, 255/85, and 285/75’s and still have not been convinced on a tire. I’m looking for the biggest tire I can fit without re-gearing. Cutting and slight MPG loss is not a concern of mine, but stressing the engine and loss of performance is. I know anything bigger than a 265/75 either needs a lift or a decent amount of cutting to fit with no rub and I am prepaired to do what’s necessary. So what do you guys think? Any tires larger than the 265/75r16 that don’t compromise performance?

 

I should specify, I am referring to the largest diameter, not width.

 

I recently got 255/85 R16 Tires and I don’t notice much difference around town but I noticed a big difference on the highway, at altitude, and on steep trails. I’ll probably regear to 4.88 in the future.

 

295/70/17 Nitto Ridge grappler

Edit; I re geared to 4:88 but only for transmission shift and off-road use .
I’ve seen 35’s that roll down the highway with ease .

 

Awesome look, where’d you get that rack from?

 

Ditto

 

It’s all aluminum weighs nothing and strong as hell !!
Dig it a lot !!
@Dissent86 makes them

 

255/75/17 is a pretty good compromise, taller than 265/70 and can be found as light as 39 lbs. You can always add a spacer for "stance".

Anything wider or taller will affect performance in some way, either acceleration, braking or gas mileage for a daily driver.

Edit: just realized you're probably staying with the 16s.

Recommend 265/75/16 then

 

I have two sets 265/75r16 on OR wheels and 285/75r16 on Pro wheels....the 265’s are the better setup for minimal mpg loss/minimal performance loss/decent looks/good tire prices for the most part.....Looks wise 285’s have my vote but will require some sort of modification with either; wheels, spacers, lift, cutting/chopping
