    Just picked up my 21 Magnetic Gray SR and want some new shoes. I'd like to stay with a "stock" look as much as possible while upgrading for light trails. Think I'll go with the gray SR5 wheels but unsure about tires... Any thoughts on an upgrade from stock 245/75/16 to the above mentioned tire(s)? I don't want to lift it, and the stock TRD OR Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar
    seems to be a perfect size, but I'm seeing almost everyone going for the slightly bigger 265/75/16.
    Any thoughts?

    I am in the same boat as you. 265/75R16 seem nice because they're larger and will provide a small "lift". Most say they don/t experience any rubbing. However, Many say at full articulation they get some rubbing. I don't want rubbing at all regardless of terrain. Leaning me towards 265/70R16.

    Working on the never ending list
    I could not stand the OEM Good Year's and every truck and some SUV's I had have always
    had BFG T/A's I found out that the 265/70R-16's are on National Back Order and went with
    the 265/75R-16's and I like them better ! (1) lower price (2) 1" taller (3) in stock (4) don't stick out :cool:

    No rubbing, stiffer sidewall so no ' Diving ' feeling on corners no more noise then the OEM's
    and they look Fantastic :thumbsup:

    Love the "KO2 look" for sure. Torn between that (with steelies) or the stock look. The fact that you said no diving on corners and no road noise is big for me. Really appreciate the details!
