Ordered FJ Cruiser wheels, need opinions on tires...

Chronism[OP] initial post: ↑

Finally settle on a wheel, silver FJ Cruiser's. First off, my Tacoma only has 2000 miles on it, so the tires have plenty of life left. The stock tires are 265/70/R16. My options are:

Just swap the original tires over w/ TPMS'.

Or

Order new tires, a little larger 265/75/R16, and probably a little more aggressive BFG AT's.

Is it worth the 1/2" increase in height and more aggressive look to buy new tires? Will I see much of a difference in tires size on the truck?

I know, ultimately, it is what I want, but I am curious what others would do. Common sense says save $650 and wait until I NEED new tires...

Which FJ wheels are you getting? Some are 17"

I went with the 2007 Silver 16" FJ's. Personally, I actually prefer the silver over the other colors. Good thing considering the others are soo hard to obtain anyways...

I like anthracite gray now even more, because they are rare and hard to find....as for tires...Michelin MS2's for me.
