Scroll up. That was stock wheels. This pic is same tires with Method FN wheels.
This looks great. Those are 265/60-18 or 65's?
White letters out? hmmm.
Your headlights look good to. I've got a 2011 and mine are starting to get the oxidation on the far corners. Did you sell your wheels? I've got the same style but mine are not that color, more silver. I really like the darker (stock) ones better.

I sold the original wheels to a GXOR member. The stockers are really nice, in fact, the Discount Tire guy questioned why I would swap out for black wheels. I have to admit I had second thoughts about it.

They both look good. I was referring my my stock wheels. It seems they had two different color options. Mine are silver, your were darker and looked much better than mine. Wish I could get my hands on some.
Thanks for the response, i did check the weight on the wheels and noticed the driver side front tire doesn't have any weights while all the other wheels do? That sound right ?
On a side note, which brand are those wheels i'm looking for something similar on my 2016 GX460 (same color). My tire size are OEM 265 60/18, curious which rim size you're running.
How bad do the hum on these mess with the luxury ride of the GX. I had a pair on my 2001 sequoia, but couldn't tell about road noise because the beast had 245k miles on it and all kinds of worn suspension parts, along with a borla exhaust. I used it for a beach vehicle only for a while so I know that they perform well in sand , but I never had the Seqouia above 45-50 mph getting to and from the beach and mostly used them aired down.
what size Falken's are those? Ive got an 11' premium and looking to do a 265/65 18 but exploring all options. will def do an 18x9 +12--20 offset. nice set up there.
I got Wildpeak's installed Monday. They roar above 60mph so I got a different set that I am very happy with. They track better than the all seasons previously installed from the dealer. Handling in general has improved and the wife can't notice even 1 decibel of noise increase. They also look fairly aggressive in person which is another plus. Compared to my old Ko2's they are night and day in comfort.
The set I settled on is Continental TerrainContact A/T 265/65/18. They are light for AT tires and I didn't notice any power decrease. Highly recommended as I got them off Tire Buyer with coupons for about $174 a piece after rebates. Use the code TBMOBILE7 at checkout.

No rubbing not even close, yes I changed the spare... fit just fine. I really doubt 275/65/18 would rub either to be honest as I appear to have another half inch easy of clearance from the "bolt".

Yeah they are P metric or SL tires. I offroad exclusively on the beach, so sidewall strength is a negative for me as I need the tire to flex as much as possible. I hear that LT's ride okay on the platform but I will never try as it doesn't make sense for my use.
Nice! I was wondering how those Continentals are...you don't see too much about them. They do look more aggressive than I imagined they would.
I may have to add those to the list if my KO2s ever get loud and I want to move back to something with better road manners. However, right now they are very quiet and smooth up to 85mph.

Nice ... I have had good luck with ko2s even though some report balancing issues and rough ride. However , the terraincontact is much plusher and stickier if that makes sense. It really excels where ko2’s fall short ... in the rain. Anyone who says ko2s don’t hydroplane IMO should be discredited in all car related discussions. I know for a fact they do hydroplane no matter which set you have as I’ve had them on 16,18, and 20 inch wheels. If I lived in a drier climate I probably would have never given these a shot and just stuck with ko2 out of familiarity.
For those wondering about wildpeaks I measured both tires at the shop 265/65/18 . The Falken were 8.75lbs heavier than the Terrain Contact at the same size and ply and you could feel the weight difference. If noise weren’t a factor I was happy with the ride quality of the Falken but didn’t like the hum at 65+.
All three are perfectly fine tires but I gotta say I think the reviews were spot on with this particular tire as it’s Consumer Reports and Tire Racks lead AT as of now.
yes the beefy one ... still fits you just have to guide to the right spot when elevating it . Fully inflated before you ask.
That's great! That means I should be able to get ATs and a cheap spare in the same size. I was worried the spare wouldn't fit even if it were just an all season in 265/65r18.
