At 659, it is same size as Michelin Defender which means that it will fit but it will likely touch the hitch (if so equipped) AND the KDSS bar. I am NOT sure if touching KDSS bar is bad or not...but personally, i prefer not to touch.

We know that 675 (Falken) does not touch KDSS bar. We know that 659 (Defender) does. I think that Goodyear Adventure AT will not touch but that is just theory.

Sumitomo Encounter AT is also listed at 675 rev/mi, weighs similar to the Falkens
Goodyear Wrangler Trail Runner AT is also listed at 663 rev/mi, both Goodyear models are lighter than the Falkens

I wonder how much of a different 1 rev/mi makes? There are a handful of tires at 660 rev/mi and 1 at 661 rev/mi (Pirelli, Bridgestone, Firestone, Hankook)

So, for those who upsize their tires to Falkens.......you're not really upsizing much over your old stock tires...maybe a few centimeters!

These are 18x8.5 wheels with 285/65/18s
What offset did you go with?

It’s a good thing those BFG KO2 are bulletproof and you will likely never need a spare.

Upgrade from factory:
  • TRD Pro wheels (17x7) in matte black
  • Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 265/70R17; non LT version (fits in spare tire well - barely)
  • Required heat gun and massage of both front of the front wheel well as well as the usual suspect bolt in the rear of the front wheel well
  • Outstanding upgrade and a great option for those not wanting to drop coin on a lift!

17" TRD Bro wheels w/ 265/70/17 BFG K02 C Load tires. Rubs in the back of the front wheel well. It is infrequent. I will probably try and source a screw for the liner that will sit flush. That should do the trick. No rub at full lock.

Loving the new look compared to my factory chrome wheels. Not 100% satisfied with the wheel/tire balance. Hopefully a road force balance will solve that.

I didn't plan to purchase tires this soon but a non reparable puncture forced my hand so I went with the Continentals...

I honestly can't tell any difference from the previous Tour HPs I had even though I assume they should have to have more road noise, but I really don't seem to notice any and I put about 80 miles on them today going back and forth to the office. (90% highway)

Was it a straight bolt on for you guys? Did you need to get new lug nuts and use hubcentric rings?

Straight bolt on, even used the same chrome lug nuts from my factory wheels.

So I had a short exchange with someone on FB GXOR group and he recently installed 265/65/18 Toyo Open Country ATIIs, P version. I am not sure of the exact year of his car but it was a 2014+ Luxury and I am asking about his trailer hitch now... but he said he was able to get the spare under the car, although it was a very tight fit. Based on my research, the Toyo's have a rev/mile of 659.

Default Put on some new wheels

The fuel rep actually said they wouldn’t fit. They did and I’m very happy with them.
