Want a taller tire for my 2022 Off Road... Help!!!

First, I'm getting up there in and can't figure out how to calculate the height of tires. Or, could be just too dumb.

At any rate, I'm probably going to get a set of TRD Pro 16" wheels. I want a tire that will be a little taller than the stock 265/70/16's. I like the Goodyear Wrangler Territory's that came on it. No, not a true off road tire, but aggressive enough for me. More aggressive means worse (usually) gas mileage and way more noise. Which, I don't want either.

So my first question is, what size tire do I want to give me a tad more height. Second, any recommendations on a tire. The Goodyear doesn't seen to come taller in 16". Third, when changing the tire size, do things need to be recalibrated?

Thanks

As for tire, there are many great options from BFG KO2’s, Falken Wild Peaks, Coopers, Goodyear DuraTracs, etc. Do some reading and decide which you like best for your needs.



Im running 265-75-16 KO2’s on SCS Ray10 wheels. No performance complaints from me throughout all the weather and terrain that central PA offers.

 

I was very happy with my Cooper ST MAXX LT255/85r16

You should invest in Goodyear's latest tire: Wrangler Kevlar Mall Crawler Edition. You'll get 0% offroad use out of it, but damnit, you can hop curbs with ease! They're on sale at your local tire shop. You get an extra 15% off if you show them your man bun and/or skinny jeans!

 

Before purchasing wheels I would make your choice on tire first. Staying with a 16" wheel may limit your choices. Also pay close attention to what load rating you want and what sizes are available. I would recommend for you to consider 17" wheels. Especially if you plan on staying with the new wheels for the next few years. As what happened with 15" the options for 16" have been declining.

 

265/75/16 Falken Wildpeaks. Roughly an inch taller than stock I believe.

 

Thanks. That is very helpful.

 

Love the looks of that but did cut down on MPG a little and how's the tire growl? I don't really need aggressive tread for where I'll be going. Off pavement but won't be rock crawling. Still, great look with the stock rims.

 

One of my questions is still, has anyone/everyone who's gone with a taller tire had the speedometer/odometer/computer calibrated to the larger tire?

 

Nothing needs calibrated if only going up one or two tire sizes

 

Cooper ST Maxx 265/75/16, a 32" off road tire as compared to Goodyear OE 265/70/16 at 30.5".

 

This right here. 33”x10” and no modifications required. No brainer IMO.

 

Sorry but 265/75/16 cooper st max is not a 32”. It’s 31.6”, mounted it’s barely 31”

 

Are you going to be off roading? Maybe you should stay away from all terrains if so. Noise and decreased mpg will almost always be there with any of the decent AT options. If for looks then you may have to make compromises.

 

I had Cooper AT3 LT on my 2nd gen, not a lot of road noise and they looked good on the truck. Most likely will go back to them on the 3rd gen

 

Just watch the weight, I went +25lb more per wheel (Tire+Rim).....

 

If MPG is a concern, going up in tire size is going to make a difference. Not a big difference, since it's only about 1 inch taller, but that is changing your gear ratio, and will be slightly more difficult for your truck to turn them. And as @Oedipus2727 mentioned, the weight difference from tire to tire can make a good difference as well. A heavier tire will add rotational mass that your truck has to overcome. This could drive a bigger loss in MPG than the size, for sure.

As for recalibrating, not really necessary. Just know you are going approximately 3% faster than you were before on your stock tires. For example, if you read 60mph before you would now be doing about 62mph (but still showing 60 on your speedo). On a 2nd gen, going up to 265/75r16 from 265/70r16 actually made the speedometer MORE accurate, but I'm unaware how that plays out on a 3rd gen.

 

BFG KO2 265/75/16 they look very nice
