Toyota Tundra Forum

Hi,

I was driving on a well used logging road in Northern Maine, when my warning light came on that I was losing air pressure. Stopped my 2008 Toyota Tundra TRD Double Cab to check out my tires, and watched in horror as my passenger tires front and rear slowly went FLAT! I have the stock tires BFG P275/65/R18 Rugged Trail T/A. Not "Rugged" at all!!

Must have hit a sharp stone - hole was in the same area on each front and rear tire!

So, now, I'm looking for a set of replacement tires. Don't laugh, but my dream tire will have the following qualities:

(1) a tire that will give me the most off road protection (10 Ply);

(2) handle rain and snow;

(3) not be a hard riding, and a noisy tire during extended highway driving.

(4) can I go up in size from 275 to 285 with my 18" wheels?

Ok, what tire types.models can you recommend for me, and thanks so much for your help!!!

going to 285 is no problem at all! I replaced my tires on my truck last December with BFG KOs and have been very pleased. I have spent quite a bit of time on rough dirt roads and logging roads and have been pleased with the traction and the road noise on pavement is hardly noticable.
