2006 taco AC with trd offroad and towing. What are the max tire sizes I can go with
using stock rims. ( stock bfg at 265/70/16 )
My goal is deep sand
The wider tread creates less stress to the surface tension of the strata of sand (as expressed in kN/m2) and the vehicle will not sink as easily. The smoother and wider a tire is, the better it will perform in sand, as the width creates flotation and the smoother tread displaces less sand under (horizontal) acceleration (shearing force).
I will have about 2" lift if required by tires.
how wide can I go
Yes, Searched and searched lots of places, I cant find what i am after
thanks in advance
