What tire upgrades have others done?

I have a 2010 Tacoma access cab and would like to go at least a couple inches bigger with the tires. I'd like to keep the stock wheels if possible and don't mind adding a lift kit. Would like to avoid cutting the truck up. Anyone like to let me know what sizes of tires they may have put on stock rims on a truck like mine and had success. I have 265/65-17's right now. Maybe what lift kit you used too would help.

I'm also looking for a recommendation for a good all around summer / winter tire. I live in North Dakota, so it does have to handle snow and ice for a good part of the year.

The truck has a 6 speed manual, no locking differential, and yes is a 4x4 if any of that matters.

This will at least give me a place to start.

Thanks
TeaMan.

 

if you don't want to do any cutting, you'll have to stick with a 265/70/17. going to 33s will require the CMC and cutting part of the wheel well liner.

 

Thanks, I hate to sound stupid, but what is CMC?

 

cab mount chop....im running a 3" toytec lift and 285/70/17 nitto trail grapplers....had them on my stock wheels at first but had to use 1.25" wheel spacers to prevent the tires from rubbing upper control arm....other than that havent cut anything and no rub

 

Stock wheels & lift will rub the UCAs, you could run 265/70 on the sport 17s ( I did this for a month or so and loved the looks and performance ) without any lift on your stock suspension, this is what I'd recommend to you good sir.
