    Hey! I am sure this has been answered elsewhere in other posts, but wanted to ask in a direct way..
    Does anyone have 265/70/17 tires on the stock TRD Sport Wheels?
    Will that size work?
    I have a '14 Tacoma Access cab 4wd TRD Sport with the 265/65/17 stock Dunlops.
    I really hate the stock Dunlops and want to get some real tires, and I am almost 100% sold on KO2's.
    I live in Minnesota so I do want a decent tire in the snow, but not a dedicated winter tire, so I think the KO2 is perfect.
    As I am sure most people know, the KO and KO2 is not made in a non commercial tire in 265/65/17.
    SO....can I go with 265/70/17 without a problem?
    I know the speedo will be slightly off, but other then that is it okay?

    Thanks!

    265/70R17 will fit on stock just fine. See the 17" wheel link in my sig. Be sure to get them in C-load and not the ultra heavy E-load. The KO2s are good tires, haven't tried them in the snow yet but I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Btw, welcome to TW!

    If your speedo is like mine, it runs about 2 mph slower than actual with stock tars, the bump in size will give you +2.2 @ 65 MPH, should bring it right in line :thumbsup:
