265/65/18 aggressive tires ?

nibael · April 11, 2014

anybody running this size on a 14 truck? if so, can you show a pic? any aggressive tire will be fine.

that's the size tire that I took off. that size comes stock with 18" wheels. they make aggressive tread in that size but the size itself is not aggressive.

That's stock size on any 4x4. I have BFG all terrains not overly aggressive but here's a pic.

265/65/18 = 31.5x10.2" so it's unlikely anyone will have a real aggressive tire in stock height and width, people usually opt for a larger size.

i'm thinking of getting more aggressive tires and just go with stock size. those bfg's look good. i was leaning towards some duratracs.

How about 305/65/18, would fill out those fenders a little more...

275/70/18's will fit with a level kit, or 275/65/18 will fit on stock height (if you're not wanting to go much larger than stock). There's a lot more options for aggressive tires in those two sizes than the factory 265/65/18 size.

I just put a set of 275 70 18 Firestone Destination MT's on my stock Z71 today and it barely rubs the plastic at nearly full lock...I will have my RC 2.5 lift on next week but love the tires they really fill out the wheel wells!

I'm running 275/70/18 BFG AT KO's on my '14. It didn't rub before I put the leveling kit on, and it sure doesnt rub now. They ride awesome. The pic is before I added the RC 2" leveling kit

So the new body style trucks can fit a 275/70/18 without a level? That's pretty cool. Do you think they would have rubbed before the level if you had mud flaps?

zg2123 · April 18, 2014

Yeah, I think they would. There was still a lot of room in the wheel well.

You also wouldn't need to much of a level to fit the 275/70/18 tires. I only have a 1.5" front spacer on my truck and am able to clear these with a little room to spare.

how do they ride? They have always been my favorite. But they aren't recommended for 1500 trucks? According to the BFG website and my local discount tire. I'm thinking of going with them on my 18" wheels.

They are an LT tire so yes they are rated for a 1500 LT. LT meaning light truck.

They are a good balance of everything in a tire. Don't expect them to ride like a summer radial and you'll be pleased. Very good thread wear on these tires as well, I've put about 50k KM on the last set with regular balance and rotation.
