SHOW ME YOUR TIRE SET UP!

[Dnkittle1]

Just got my new LC and will be upgrading the tires. I have 245 70r18 and want to go towards 265/275ish and eventually add a 2" level lift. Would love pics and what size you went with any offset? Bonus points for for the ones that have lifts so I can see what I am hoping for!

How do you like those TerrainContacts? Road noise and mpg changes? Those are on my short list for my next set of tires.

I really like them, quiet, good traction in most conditions, particularly wet roads. They also balanced well with very little weight having to be added to the wheels. I had them on my 2023 Toyota Tundra 1794 edition for two years but kept them back when I traded it for the Landcruiser. Only thing I cannot comment on is how they would do in the winter since I have a dedicated set of winter wheels/tires for that, they are not snowflake rated. Didn't notice any changes in mpg from the stock tires that came on the Tundra.

265 70 R18 Falken Wild peaks at4w Standard load. On stock 1958 wheels. Huge improvement over the stock tires. Very quiet and solid feeling MPGs are pretty similar to stock.

Does your spare fit okay at that size without any modifications?

Does your spare fit okay at that size without any modifications?

Yes.
It seems that most, but not all 275/70/18s fit in the spare location.
The Nitto Terra Grappler G3 in SL that I have might have a hair more room, but it's basically maxed out.

That is what I am hearing. But I am thinking if the Nitto Grappler will fit, mine should be alright as well. Looking at the 275 70r 18 Duehler Ascents

Drove from the dealership to Discount Tire to trade in the 245/70R/18 OEM tires for Toyo 265/70R/18 E AT3’s. I brokered a trade in at $75 per tire plus refunding sales tax for the 5 OEM tires. A definite improvement in handling and ride.

Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what I have been thinking to do. I see you kept the stock wheels, wondering if you experienced any rubbing? My tire dealer told me this may cause rubbing with that tire size. Also I would be curious to know if you notice a big difference in MPG. Really like how your LC looks? It definetely have a taller and wider stance which I am sure translate to some advantages when off-roading. Thanks!

No rubbing in regular driving and I haven’t experienced any off road yet either. From everything I’ve read this combo won’t rub at all.
I lost 1-2 MPG, but I think some of that is from driving more off road since the changes. I don’t daily drive my 250 so spending part of every tank on dirt roads now is probably part of the mpg hit I saw.

I had my dealer install B.F. Goodrich 265/70R18/E 124/121S RWL prior to taking delivery. They have been fantastic and performed very well in a cold and snowy Pacific Northwest (inland) winter. Averaging 20mpg with them, which is even starting to improve a bit in warmer spring temperature!
