2021 Nightshade tires with leveling kit

I need suggestions on a tire size for a 2021 Tundra Nightshade. I would like to keep my stock 18 rims. I am installing the Mammoth 2.50 inch front leveling kit. I don’t want to add spacers. Do not want to deal with any trimming or rubbing. Looking for an aggressive LT tire like BF Goodrich all terrain TA KO2 tires. Suggestions for largest tire size?

 

Pinned in this section you posted in is a "what size fits?" post. That gives you a conservative tire sizing. Even if it says trimming may be necessary there are things you can do to fit larger tires without cutting.

 

Welcome to the forum.
I have a 2.5" lift in the front and 1" in the rear.

I actually went to Discount Tire to buy 275/60/20 Cooper AT3 XLTs, and the sales guy recommended these.
I figured if I didn't like them I had 30 days to swap for the Coopers.
I ended up liking them..

Aggressive tire without the noisy KO2 tread.




My truck came stock with 285/55/20 KOs.
My next set was KO2s in 275/60/20.
Both the KO and KO2s ran rougher and got louder over time, granted they were D-rated..

I had mentioned that to the DT salesman and that is why he recommended the SL-rated Goodyears.
I don't tow or offroad, so they worked out well for me.

The equivalent to my 275/60/20 in an 18 would be 275/70/18.
This tire would be E1 rated in that size.

Good luck..

 

Thanks! I figured this would be a good place for helpful information.

I also like the Cooper tires you have. Your truck likes great!

I am not very knowledgeable on suspension so I was wondering if my 2.5 leveling kit will level my truck. I notice you added a 1 inch level in the rear of your truck. Will the 2.5 inch front leveling kit do the trick for me without touching the rear? I based my decision on the info from Extreme Terrain website. Thanks for the help!!

 

Your stock wheels are 20’s

 

I don't have Coopers, I have the Goodyears in the link.

A 2.5 front lift will just abut level your truck.
I wanted a little rack back so I installed Toytec shackles in the rear.

With the 2.5" of front lift with Bilstein 6112s.
It looks nose high but it measures level.


With the shackle at the 1" setting.

 

My tire size says 255/70/18. Here is a picture of my truck.

 

That’s not a nightshade. Unless you changed grill, wheels, took off the limited badge and added the sx stickers

 

I just bought it 2 weeks ago just like it is. I was told it was a nightshade due to no badges or emblems, black door handles, black mirrors, black accents on front and back bumpers. I also thought the sx labels meant nightshade too.

 

After googling it I must have read it wrong. The sx is a package offered and is different then the nightshade.

 

285/65r18 will not rub anywhere (I know from experience). A lot of guys run 295/70r18 by just removing the front small air deflector but I did not try that on the one I had leveled. I will say though that 2.5 will be slightly nose high. 2.25 is near perfect. Just comes down to personal preference. Also on the nightshade part, the real nightshade has black chrome trim not black matte. The fact yours has no badging just means someone already removed them
