Just picked up a 2020 170” 4x4 and looking for the right tires & wheels. I’ve read through this + other posts but see some conflicting information.
Here’s what I’m after — would love some advice:
1) Mostly highway miles, but Tahoe in the winter. Would like a highway-friendly tire that works well enough in snowy Tahoe Conditions.
2) Off-road typically limited to fire roads, so a more aggressive tire is good, but don’t want a noisy tire on the highway
3) Don’t have too much of a preference on 16” vs. 17”... would probably prefer 17s but open to options
4) Ideally I’d like to *not* have to do any modifications to fenders... although the agile kit doesn’t seem like too much of a mod, so willing to consider it
5) Most importantly, want something that has the right offsets, etc so as not to stress the bearings/system in a way that shortens its life.
Current stock tires are Kumho M+S 245/75/R16.
Someone said in an earlier thread “with 17' wheels many go with a slightly wider/slightly lower profile tire. LT265/70R17 will still fit in the spare tire carrier and won't rub. They are very close to the same height as the OEM size, so the speedo will be approximately correct.“ But then (I think) I saw someone else mention that that size did rub w/o the agile modification, so unsure which is correct?
Also: Can the stock wheel TPMS sensors be moved over to the new wheels, or do new ones have to be purchased? I saw Agile sells them.
Lastly: I’ll likely have 5 new stock rims & wheels to sell... I’ll likely put them on CL / eBay but LMK if anyone has advice on where best to sell them.
Thanks for any advice!!!
