Tire Help Greatly Appreciated!

Hello! My name is Dave and I am a new member. I own a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off-Road (Silver) and I am looking to purchase my first set of replacement tires for the stock Goodyear kevlar's (which I was not happy with). I've decided to go with the BFG AT KO2's for my stock 16" wheels, but wasn't sure what size / load rating will be best? I'd like to go with a little bigger tire (where the factory one's just look too small) but not too big where they would require suspension mod's or cutting. I do mostly highway miles, but live in the northeast where we get plenty of snow and ice. I do not plan of off roading or doing any major towing. If anyone has any advice, pictures, etc. it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

 

Welcome to TW.

 

Michelin Defenders would be a great choice for your use. Last longer, quieter, smoother.

A set of winter tires for foul weather is even a better idea.

4 season or all season tires really aren't. There are summer tires (sports car types), winter tires and kinda 3 season tires.

 

I just replaced mine. I went with Michelins in a stock size 265-70-R16, but a lot of people decide to go with a larger than stock size tire.
You probably have stock 31 inch tires right now. Many decide to go with a 32 inch tire 265-75-R16 and report no adverse effects (no rubbing).
Also, it seems one of the favorites here are Falcon Wildpeaks AT3s in 265-75-R16. These are available for around 125 USD each (which is a really good price).
A couple of things to keep in mind …
If you go with a tire larger than stock you speedometer will be off. TacomaWorld has a tire size calculator that you can use to determine by how much.
Also, I believe your stock tires are around 38lbs each. Going with a heavier tire will affect your gas mileage adversely.
There are lots of threads here about tires. There is a wheels and tires forum also. Good luck.
