    Im about to install a 3 inch and 2 inch kit on the truck and i was wondering what kind of tires should i get to make the truck look more aggressive(like a all terrain) but since i have the 4 cylinder engine i don't want to put too much pressure on the truck; I've been thinking about getting 17 inch rims too, but since i don't have too much power on the truck i don't really know.
    PD: I don't use the truck for off-roading or work, just to move from point a to point b in the city.

    Welcome to the forum :hattip:

    Any added weight, height or taller tire will cut down on your available power a little or a lot.

    You have a nice clean looking truck already, just adding some white letter tires would give it a nice pop without any performance or handling negatives.

    You could go up one tire size without too much loss also.

    KO2 is your answer. One size up as mentioned above 265/70/17 or 265/75/16.

    BFG Trail Terrains or similar. Essentially a street tire that’s made to look a little bit outdoorsy…. Look on tire rack or discount tire for options SL rated, and around 40 lbs.

    This is your answer. SL rated and <= 42lbs is key if you want to keep stock performance.

    Have a link? I don't see that tire size and the 265/70/16 are load E at 51 lbs. Don't get hung up on K02s.

    Keep researching. Every pound of tire weight will be felt and you will be quite disappointed
