Basic Tire Question

Hi,

Is anyone running BFGoodrich KO2 LT265/70R17/C mfg# 66255 on their 2nd Gen TRD Tacoma?

Right now I have the KO LT265/65R17/E tires, but I think the C rating may be better for this truck. I really don't tow anything, I just use the bed for stuff. I know the 70 aspect ratio is a little taller. I want to make sure there will be no rubbing. It looks like there is enough wheel hub room. I have the factory TRD Sport lift.

So basically, I want to go from 65 aspect ratio to 70 and E rating to C rating. I don't think I really need 10 plys and 80psi max. I generally run about 38 psi. Maybe the C rated tires will be a little lighter too. What do you think?

 

You’re good to go.

 

I’ve had those before and had no rubbing with 2.5 inch lift setting on 5100 Bilsteins. However, I dont have front mud flaps, so, don't know if tires may rub on those.
