    Lifted 2 in front 1 in back. What's everyone's thoughts on best tire size for a daily driver... Obviously talking bigger than stock. 285 70s in a c load?

    If you are ok with minor trimming then you answered your own question and do 285 70/R17s. I ran BFG KO2s in thats size on a daily driver and found them great. Currently running 285 75/R17s in a load E and I dont have any issues DDing aside from lower MPGs

    FWIW, I'm planning on 255's. I've heard good things and it seems like a great size option.

    I think 255/80's would give a true 33" tire. Might be worth the upgrade.

    I would avoid any load range besides SL, for a daily driven vehicle.

    I agree.

    SL or P-rated 285/70/R17 are better for daily driving than C or E load, IMO.

    But some SL rated are just as heavy as some C load, so looks at tire weights.

    I found the Firestone Destination A/T's to be the lightest and a great performer. It had really nice road manners. There are some other light P285's out there as well.

    Negative. Depends on makes and model. Both 255/80R17 and 285/70R17 you need to check the specs to see its its 33 or not.

    This is correct. Thanks for clarifying!
