    Hello guys!
    I'm getting ready to have a 3" leveling kit, wheels and tires setup on my '18 Tundra Double Cab.
    I saw that many of you have 295/70/18; it seems to be pretty common.
    4 Wheel Parts suggested 305/65/18.
    So, what do you guys think? Which choice is better as far as look and ride?
    Suggestions and pictures would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I have 295/70/18 Ridge Grapplers on 2020 stock Trd Pro wheels. I wish I could’ve gone with wider tires but my wheel is only 8” wide. They ride well and still look good. If you want a wide stance and look go wider!

    IMO 295/70r18 tires are the best looking size on these trucks hands down with a 2-3" lift/level.

    If you haven’t seen 305/65/18s in person, you should try. They look really awesome

    Do you know what ply your tires are? I'm guessing 12. If so, how do they ride? Are they loud?

    E rated/12ply and there quite and smooth.... I had BFG ko2 285/65/18 before I upgraded to Nitto RG 295/70/18 because I wanted more wheel well coverage. Nitto are 34.xxx compared to 33.xxx in diameter. Here’s a chart that might help you compare the two. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to do not tires compared to each other. I’ll attach chart and my truck rocking the BFG KO2 before Nitto RG. Look at wheel difference. I wish I could run 35’s but hate to give up the BBS TRD PROwheels. hopefully this helps.

    I had BFG Ko2 305/65/18 originally put on at dealership as a up grade but the ride was bouncing... I figured out that to run 305/65/18 on my stock wheel size of 8” pinched the tires at seal like a muffin top causing the bouncy ride. I then tried BFG 285/65/18 which fixed the ride. I then upgraded to Nitto RG 295/70/18 the biggest/ widest I could run with a great ride. Here’s 305/65/18 pic

    295’s would be my choice without to much of a offset. 90B55322-7F08-4030-BE56-CBD35DC9308E.jpg
