anyone running 275/70/18 tires

I'm looking to replace my stock tires after installing a 2" AS and was looking at tires in the size 275/70/18 and was wondering if anyone on here was running them and if you had pictures. Thanks in advance.

You should probably go with a 285/70/18. The ones you mentioned are going to be the same width, and just a hair taller. (in case you DIDN'T already know that) Might look weird.

Who makes a 285/70/18? Never seen one, just curious...

The Nitto Terra Grappler comes in 275/70R18. Not sure if that's anywhere close to what he wants, but they are made.

I know there are plenty of tires made in a 275/70/18 but chargersfan said something about 285/70/18

typo. 285/65/18 That would give him the 70 height he's looking for with the 275mm width he's requestiing with the wider stance.

285/65/18 is 1/2" taller and .4" wider than the OEM 275/65/18 tires I've got


you can fit those puppies without a leveling kit

he could fit the 275/70's without a leveling kit also. Isn't that about a 1/2" taller? 70% of 275mm, or 5% more? If I'm going taller, I'm going wider also.

when you look at the specs on the tires, it looks like with most of them you gain around an inch to and inch and a quarter in height and very minimal around .1-.25 in width by going with a 275/70/18 instead of a 275/65/18

I run the 275/70/18 tire and its a little over 33 inches tall. BF goodrich Rugged Trail

Went from the stock 275/65/18 to the 275/70/18 and gained a little over 1 inch in height.

Overall Diam. 33.15 Section Width 11.11
