Time for new tires...275/70R17 or 285/70r17 with King Coilovers?

    2008 Access Cab taco with King Ext Travel Coilovers with Total Chaos UCAs in front and Deaver J66 pack in the rear with Spidertrax 1.25" spacers all around behind stock TRD Sport wheels. I'm around 2-2.5" lift in front.

    The 265/70R17 Toyo Open Country AT tires the previous owner put on are due for replacing. They've been great tires but they look tiny on my truck.

    I'd prefer to run 275/70R17 AT tires but the selection is pretty limited.

    I don't do much wheeling, mostly just Forest Service and BLM roads, but I'm moving to a Mid-West city soon known for ice and snow in the winter, so I need an AT tire good in the snow and for exploring back roads.

    Any recommendations?
    Can I run 285s with minimal trimming since I don't really do any wheeling?
    I'm lost here.

    Been looking at Duratracs and Open Country AT2s but only 265 and 285 are available, no 275. Trying to avoid BFG.

    I realize this question has been asked a million times and a million different ways.
    But most posts are about 5100s or standard "3" lift"...looking for info more specific to my setup.

    Strongly considering these myself. Would mount them on stock sport 17's with a Toytec Boss 3", no UCA swap and no spacers.

    OZ-T...I believe you have the LR UCA's with no clearance issues. I cant recall what wheels u are running though.

    I am trying to get away without UCA's, trimming or body mount hacking.

    Am I dreaming? :confused:

    Your truck looks great. Just the look I'm after.

    Just called and added the Light Racing UCA's to my order. $435, plus labor.

    Thanks for the info!

    Pleasantly quiet, but they are new. I hear my bad wheel bearings over the tires:(
