    Hey all, I currently have 275/65r18 116s m+s goodyear wrangler tires on my 2010 tundra and need new tires. Want to get some good all terrain tires bf goodrich(any recommendations though?). But my main question is can I go a size up? Like 285? With the same rim...

    TIA!

    If you have stock suspension, you can fit 275/70R18’s on them, which are about an inch bigger in diameter and are available in a lot of different all terrain treads. If you’ve got a lift or leveling kit installed, then you can likely go a bit bigger.

    Going from a Duratrac to an All Terrain is not advised in my opinion. All Terrains are the most marketed tire on the market and pretty much the only reason you see so many of em, highly overrated. Get a bigger size sure but do some more tire research before just diving into All Terrains like everyone else.

    I ran Goodyear Duratracs in that size, and BFG KO2’s both with good results on my 2008. Currently I’ve got Falken Wildpeak A/T3W (in a larger size) on my 2021, but have only had them a few hundred miles. So far they are great. Lots of people like the Nitto’s too

    All Terrain is a style of tread... are you specifically referring to the BFG KO2?

    I'm lost. Can you explain why an AT tire is so bad

    an AT is not bad, great all around tire. AT and MT tires do not ride or handle as well as a "road" tire. However, all tire types have considerations and strengths. Highway or touring tires perform great on road and in wet, but are weak and have limited traction off road. AT tires generally are good on road and off, but are heavier and louder than a street tire. MT tire do well in mud and heavier offroad conditions, but are not as good on road, wet pavement, etc.

    I think they were just saying to think about how you use your truck and what types of tire may be best for the driving you do vs. running an AT or MT because they look cool.

    I don't give a shit what it sounds like or feels like I haul alot of stuff in the bed and pull a landscaping trailer so I want a heavy duty good quality tire that also looks good and deep. I just don't like the "puffy ness" look of the goodyear wrangler if you see what I mean...
