Default Which Toyo's?????

So Toyo makes two 33's.........the LT275/70R18 which is 33.6' and 66lbs, but is 11" wide and fits the stock 18" wheel. The other is 33x12.5R18LT which is exactly 33" and 75lbs is 12.7" wide and the approved rim is 8.5-11.

So which one is everybody running? Do you have pics please???

If it were me, I would go with the lighter/skinnier/taller size... No rubbing, no need for new wheels or wheel spacers, more sidewall, less unsprung weight--sounds good to me.

I did a search and came up with a few pics... The tires on this JK are 275/70R18 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZs. Not Toyos, but will at least give you an idea of what it will look like.

I've got 35x12.5x18 Toyo MTs on my stock Sahara rims. I like them a lot. Look at my gallery to see a couple pics.

I love my Toyos, will swap out for wider when I replace them and new rims with offset.

If you are just gong for looks on the street go skinnier. If you are going to do some wheelin' GO BIG. Hope that helps.
