I haven't run much on the highway because of the salt, lately. Also had it apart adding flog lights so haven't driven it much. Appears to be down 1-2. There's going tpo be more role resistance with the AT vs street tires. I will give it a better test and get back to you @SippsGX. I have added K&N filter so maybe it helps. Have been eyeing GXOR because people talk about a tune that helps on MPGs. 265/65R18s on stock suspension - no rubbing at all!
New to the gx platform. Wondering if anyone ran 18x9 +0 with 265/65/18? Any rubbing issues? Thanks in advance!!
not the exact setup you are looking for, but I am running 18x9 +20 with 275/65/18 on stock suspension. Had the bolt rub and did some fender liner massaging but otherwise fine
@Piney1 I like the look of the original OEM wheels. I have a 22 GX and am thinking about purchasing a set for an extra set for snow tires (I live in Houston but travel to visit family in the North and also Colorado in the Winter). The original OEM wheels also look easier to clean than the newer 18s too.
Thanks - I’m an OEM wheel person but wanted a different look so I just plasti-dipped the OEM 18” base wheels. Taped off the lug nuts and peeled the paint off the chrome center logo. If you go that route, jack the car up and do one wheel at a time while rotating the wheel. Much easier than doing all 4 at once while it is on the ground.
Out of curiosity, would anyone know if the 19" OEM wheels will fit ALL of the GX460 model years? I'm selling my almost brand new set in another forum and someone asked if the 19" wheels would fit on their 2010 GX460. Picture of the wheel/tire I'm referring to is included. @Acrad do you happen to know the answer to this question?

Reason: Question directed to Acrad too
Anthracite plasti-dip with about 20k miles on the dip. Knight’s armor vehicle color. 275/65/18 K02 rubber.
Other than minor touch ups after each tire rotation at SAMS, the dip has required very little attention. I take it through a touch free car wash about 6 times a month too.
Thanks - Two slow coats. I’m pretty sure that I bought 4 cans and a can of the prep (just use glass cleaner and a compressor’s blower). It took 2 cans so buy 3. A roll of painter’s tape is needed to make sure you don’t get any on the tires. Remember, jack the wheel up and rotate it to assure an even coat.
