265/17 16 KO2 Tires on a stock 2016 Tacoma SR5

Hey guys, I know that someone has probably answered this on another forum but I’m having a little trouble finding an answer- How will 265/75/16 KO2 Tires look on a 2016 Tacoma SR5? This is my first truck so I’m not familiar with the size of tires and whether the SR5vsTRD Pro model has anything to do with what will fit. Anyways, will the KO2s fit on a stock Tacoma SR5 with no lift or level? Thinking of doing a level later but it will be a few months. Thanks guys.

 

265/17/16 K00K’s must be the absolute lowest profile tires in existence. Is it Friday already?

 

So what do you think? I want 285s but I know they won’t fit on stock suspension :/

 

I'll do my best to steer you in, what I believe, is a better direction. There are certainly better options than the ko2s....ko2s are over marketed and overhyped, in my opinion. Anyone that has directly compared the ko2s with other comparable tires will share my sentiment.

Don't fall for the hype as it is very easy to get infatuated with the ko2s. You deserve better.

 

Okay, thanks! What tires would you suggest then?

 

The ratio tire size I believe you are asking is 75 not the number “17”

 

You will have to do a little trimming and get an alignment.

Caster as close to +3 as possible, Camber 0 to +.5, slight toe in....that may clear the cab mounts. Then a little trimming around front corner.

Another option is to go skinny...which has a better chsnce of clearing on stock suspension.

 

Yes it is, thanks for catching that lol. Simple mistake when typing... thanks

 

Many folks including myself run that size before a lift which look ok. After the lift 265/75/16 looks tiny.

 

Okay, that sounds like it might work. Like I said, I have very little knowledge about tire size and what will fit well on these trucks. Sounds like a good option to get the tires I want on there.

 

There is, what you can call, a cooper st maxx fan club on tw. They are better than the Ko2s in every way....pavement/street, off road, rain, and snow.

255/85/16 are pretty much 33" tires and will clear without a lift. Just follow the alignment specs above and do some very minor trimming.

 

Okay. It sounds like it might be better to go ahead and get 285s for when I get a lift.

 

Okay, thanks a ton for helping out. I’m gonna look into doing what you suggest

 

I just slapped Cooper STT Pro’s on my new, stock OR. Same size you mentioned. Looks mean

 

These look really good. You said they were 255/80/17 ?

 

I believe those are 255/85/16...pretty much the same as 255/80/17. difference being the wheel size.

 

Okay, got it. Thanks a ton.

 

265 75 16. Misread the original post

 

Okay, thanks. They look great!

 

I have 265/75/16 KO2s on my stock SR5. I like the look and they fit with no rubbing. I run them as winter tires at the moment, and they have performed really well overall. Occasionally there have been rainy conditions that i felt like they didn't do so well. They are heavy and eat into my fuel efficiency, as i found they take about 1.5-2 mpg off my average. I don't have any experience with other AT tires, but i would definitely buy the KO2s again.
