275/70R17 A/T tires what are you running

I am planning on buying tires in the next day or two and wanted to see what folks are running in a 275/70R17. I want this size as it's the biggest that I can fit on a stock 5th gen rim without cutting. I am not planning on lifting right away and hope to get away from the 265/70 size.

My uses will be as a DD and for hitting desert and mountain terrain 2-3 weekends per month. I have ran Nitto terra grapplers "E" on my last few trucks which worked great. Nitto doesn't make these in a 275/70R17 and it appears the size is limited in other brands as well. The choices that my local America's tires offers are a BFG KO2 in "E" or a Cooper A/T3 in "C" unless I have them special order me something in. I can get either of those for $930 installed. Also might look at the ST maxx again since I had those for a short time on my Tacoma. Any input is appreciated.

 

i run the coopers on my taco, great tire, but will hydroplane when hitting standing water

 

I use BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2. I love these tires. Great for daily driving. Not loud at all. Great for off-roading if you want to.

 

Thanks I wound up buying BFG KO2's "E" rated . They worked great in ice/snow in Mammoth last week and off road as well in the silt up there. I only lost 1-2 mpg on the road and around town it is about a 3 mpg loss.
I am very happy with these so far and they seem quieter than the stock dunlops.

 

You are going to love them. Not to mention they look awesome

 

Love mine too! Good choice

 

Our truck came with 265/70/17 Goodyears. I just can't see where the extra 3/8" width of a 275 is worth worrying about. Is there any real advantage? - Ted

 

Are you guys switching from standard load to E load tires hitting the rocky trails pretty hard? I'm just wondering because that is a lot of tire for a 4Runner.

 

I did on my taco to get the size I wanted, robbed too much power and mileage and made the ride kinda weird too over bumps in the road, I wont do that again

 

I had the same experience with a set of BFG KO2 E load 285's on my Tacoma. I disliked the ride and perceived loss of power. I'll be buying 285's or 275's for the 4Runner but will be sticking with SL or C load at the most.

E load. You can air down off-road and the extra reinforcement should help with rocks, not hurt right?

 

A lot of reviews indicate that the 275/70/R17 KO2's slip a lot on asphalt. I live in the Midwest and there is a lot of asphalt out here. Has anyone had this experience? I still have the original Dunlops on my 2015 4R but am considering the Cooper AT3 LT 285/65R17. I was thinking the 285 with the 65 profile would be a decent trade off on the side performance, gas mileage, etc. However, 90%+ is daily driving around town. Maybe that's too much tire for my purpose and region. Thoughts?
