New member in need of new tire suggestion

long time follower, first post. Need help, having my ICON 3 suspension installed next week (2015 TRD Sport 4x4 DC). Need advice on tires, need to get new set. Want BFG KO2's, going to run stock rim ( I like them) not sure with size tire I should get and load C or E. Would greatly appreciate your knowledge and suggestions. Thank you, peace

 

KO2s are nice I have them on my Titan n like em. Plan on getting some 32s for the taco. They look nice, perform well, and I've found that they are very reasonable in price compared to other companies. Usually cheaper by like $20 a tire

 

The stock rim has a pretty bad offset, you would most likely need spacers if running a tire any wider than 265 to prevent rubbing.

255/80/16 is a 32" tire, a little skinny but for the stock wheel that would be ideal.

KO2's are great tires, I have them on my rig and had the KO's on my previous one, hard to beat the all around utility and durability of them.

If you're planning on going to a bigger tire you may not have the choice of C or E load as most 'big' tires are only going to be made in E.

E vs C is really up to person preference, I have 285 70 17 E loads on my truck and like the ride very much, feels more stable on the highway than the C loads that came with the truck when I bought it. Especially after the lift.
