    I'm looking for recommendations on tire for my 15 CrewMax TRDPro. (No lift) I do mostly highway driving and being from the north east I need a tire that'll be good in the snow as well. I don't off road so I won't need tires for that. I'm new to the tundra game and I'm not a "truck guy" so talking about offsets and lifts....blah blah blah makes my head spin. I hear a TON of talk about the KO2s

    My tire guy recommended a few: Kelly Edge A/T and Goodyear Fortitude. Those are using 275 65/18.

    Thanks in advance!

    Id like to keep a good tough look as well but I'll need to change out the rims....

    275/65s or 275/70s will fit on a stock truck. However, moving to 275/70 also means moving from a "P" standard load tire to an "E" load. The larger size looks great but there are some trade offs moving to an E rated tire on a tundra. They are heavier duty, so a little harsher riding and MPG will take a hit.

    Many running stock size tires really like the Michelin Defenders much better than the Michelin AT2s that come stock. I ran defenders before on an SUV and they were excellent on road tires, quiet, good grip, great in snow and decent off road.

    Tons of good all season or light AT tires out there in 275/65 size. Suggest you stick to the major manufacturers and find a tire with a good mileage warranty and at a price you will be happy with.

    I have run Kelly tires before (not the edge AT) and liked them ok. Goodyear was ok was well, not great but ok. One I will never purchase again is bridgestone- did not handle well, got loud and lasted half as long as they should have.
