    Bilstein 5100's, Morimoto gen 2 XB headlights and fog lights, TRD sway bar and skid plates. Nothing else needed!
    Good morning hive mind,
    I have a 14 Tundra and will be needing tires soon.
    Im running Bilstein 5100's at the max setting.
    Two questions- whats the max tire size I can fit? I cant seem to find a clear answer to this one online.
    Second question- opinions on BFG KOII vs Falken Wildpeak? Ive always run the BFG and they wear amazing and ride nicely, but I am kind of liking the look of the Falkens.
    TIA !

    So you would be at 2-2.5 lift. With stock wheels +60 offset you can run 285/75-18. Those are 35 tall and 11.3 wide.

    To run 35x1250s you would need wheel spacers or less offset aftermarket wheels. Offset of +20 to +35 is needed to run 1250 wide tires for UCA clearance.

    As far as tires, Wildpeaks are a better tire than BFG, in my experience, ive run both....and if you look at reviews they will concurr. BFGs often have balancing issues and once you get some miles on them the rubber hardens so wet traction can be interesting.

    In deep snow and mud KO2 will be better, in my opinion. Wildpeaks in real life look more pavement-oriented, the thread is more densely populated, which is bad for snow and mud.

    Can't evaluate tire performance based on looks. Take the tame looking Michelin Defender for example, looks like a street tire but they actually do well in snow, rain, sand, dirt and will surprise you with its off road ability in everything except mud.

    Just relating my experience (since you asked) as I have run both in recent years, in all weather and on/off road. BFGs get packed with mud and dont self clean well, so if mud it your thing get a MT. Both BFG and Falken do fine in snow. And speaking of snow or winter conditions, large voids like it a MT tire hurt snow performance. Smaller voids have more biting edges and get better traction in snow/ice. Again....I know this from experience running different MT tires in snow. But Im sure if you research you can verify.

    Perhaps you should look at some of the hybrid tires, they bridge the gap between all terrain and mud terrain.

    Nah, I do 99% asphalt paved roads. I've got a second set of KO2-like General Grabber A/TX. They are weak in mud, OK in snow. Like KO2. I need mostly snow, but any tire will eventually pass out, so there's a winch on my truck. And snow chains recently.

    I had other AT tires, with more packed thread. They were much worse than KO2 or said Generals in snow and mud.
