2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

The KMC also comes in 22. Sorry about that.

How big of a tire can you get without having run or trim issues, WITHOUT a lift?
If I have to choose, I’ll go with a bigger tire that last longer vs the bad reviews Nitto is getting here.

You thought about running just a basic leveling kit?

Open country RTs are hands down the most amazing tire out for mixed driving.

I can cruise at 110 in my truck and they are ridiculously quiet, smooth, fuel efficient. Yet can handle multiple levels of terrain.


The 2018 expedition in this link has them.

You have the AT, which are good yet similar to the terra.

The RTs are basically a hybrid between mud/ street performance.

They look aggressive, but ride smoother than the AT.

Do you HAVE to lift for the RT or AT?

Sorry, do you have to LEVEL? I’m likely getting the toyo, but would rather not level/lift.

If I have to, does the front level looked WEIRD if I go back to OEM platinum wheels

First tow job. It did great.

RT or AT is just the tread pattern. They come in different sizes and you can see them all on Toyos website. The RT is only slightlier knobbier, so my guess is you would have more road noise, but I would defer to Blackscreen67 as it sounds like he has had both. Because my initial thought is you would want to go with the AT if you are doing very little offroading and just want the look.

Either way, you'll have to calculate the total diameter of the tire as well as taking the width into consideration on both. So on my FX4's 275/65R18 tires, the 275 refers to the width of the tire in millimeters. The 65 is the sidewall aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall is 65% of 275. The 18 is the size of the rim in inches. All of this (sidewalls + rim) equates to a total diameter wheel of 32.2" so anything above that will probably need some minor trimming of the wheel well covers. A 33x12.5R22 tire is just that, a total diameter of 33". A 33"+ tire is going to require a leveling kit for sure. Also, If you have a very wide tire like a 305/__R__ you may run into some rubbing issues with your steering wheel at full lock.

How it all looks is your own personal preference. As of right now, the only leveling kit I see made specifically for the 2018 Expedition's is the READYLift strut extensions. So a 1.5" leveling kit won't make a huge difference if you go back to stock, but I'm sure you will be so happy with your purchase that you won't want to! Haha.

Are those the same as these? https://www.toyotires.com/tire/pattern/open-country-at-ii-on-off-road-all-terrain-tires

If I get these, I’m trying to figure out if I even need a front level kit. 33/12.5

I don’t think you would have to level to fit.

Dealer just confirmed the Expy WILL NOT accommodate a 33x12.50 setup without a front level kit.
