2025 LC250 / 1958 - help me decide on tires?

[jbe2289]

Really enjoying the Cooper Discover Road+Trail AT. I have 7,000 miles on them in a 1958 in 265/70R18. Minimal to no impact to MPG, great ride, and handle great on dry, wet, and snow. No heavy off-roading, but gravel roads, some dirt, and fields, handle great.

I bought mine from the dealer with a 2” lift and Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/70R18’s. 35” tires don’t help the gas mileage, but it’s fun to drive!

What’s the highest lift I can afford to do that will fit a 7ft garage door? My 1958 has the FE roof rack installed.

Bust out that tape measure and you'd have a real answer in less than a minute.

I'm planning to take delivery of my new Land Cruiser next week and am considering driving it straight in to Discount Tire to swap out the stock Yokohama 245s for a set of 275s.

I'm located in Central Texas and will admittedly be driving mostly city/highway the majority of the time, however, while I don't plan to do any heavy off road travel (rock crawling whatnot) I do primitive camp pretty regular (think gravel/dirt trails Big Bend-ish).

Also, after the last few years, I highly value being prepared for as many of the inclement conditions Texas likes to throw at us (cough cough snowpocalyse, anyone?) as possible...

So I'm considering the following:

NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER G3P 275 /70 R18 116T SL BSW: Discount Tire | Tires and Wheels for Sale | Online & In-Person

GENERAL GRABBER A/TX P 275 /70 R18 116S SL BSW: https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/general-grabber-a-tx

BFGOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO3LT275 /70 R18 125S E1 RWL: Discount Tire | Tires and Wheels for Sale | Online & In-Person

YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR H/T G056 LT275 /70 R18 125R E1 OWL: Discount Tire | Tires and Wheels for Sale | Online & In-Person

I'm told the LC250/1958 should comfortably fit a 275/70 R18 spare.

All of the above are close enough in price where I don't think the $$ difference will be an issue; I'm also open to other suggestions. I'm honestly rather new to the truck/tire scene (driven the same Subie for 15+ years) so any insight/advice would be much appreciated!!

Also check out

FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T4W. I just put this on my stock 18’s very happy with them. No drop in MPG. No noise. Look great, and add the perfect amount of beef for good looks.​

I’ve been driving on Goodyear Duratrac R/Ts and they have been great.

Got 25% off them through USAA.

Also…

Keep in mind 275 is only 1.8% bigger than a 265, and SL offerings in 265 are way more broad than 275.
