I'm pretty new to the club. Bought an '11 Pro4x this past december and I use it as a daily driver so I don't want to do too much to it. I do want to get some new off-road tires and I'd like to go as big as possible without modifying anything. I know the stock size is P265/75R16.

My question is what is the biggest size you can mount on those stock 16" rims with no lift? I'm not well-versed in this so if you could give me a recommendation in that same format it would be much appreciated.

A 285/75r16 is the biggest tire you can run, but you will need to to the melt mod to prevent the rubbing issue on the fender liner.

Take a look at the Firestone Destination AT. There not real aggressive but there great in the snow and light off road and there road manners are incredible. They also come in a p265/75/16 instead of LT sizing so there lighter and ride better.

Everyone with what you have and want goes with a 285/75/16, and just uses a blow dryer or heat gun to melt back a little plastic bulge in the front wheel well liner that tends to rub...takes ~ 5 minutes, very easy.

If you don't do that "Melt Mod", nothing bad happens, the tire just rubs the soft plastic down until it clears anyway.

:D

Welcome to ClubXterra!

Yep, 285/75/16 is the biggest tire with no lift and just the "melt mod".

I suggest getting Light Truck (LT) tires instead of the Passenger vehicle (P) tires. LTs hold up much better than the P tires both on and offroad. In fact, all of my stock P tires failed (one at a time) before I had 20K miles on the X. Since upgrading to the LTs, I have not had a tire failure, and I'm at 110K miles now.

The next consideration is All-Terrain (AT) versus Mud-Terrain (MT). If you do most of your driving on the pavement, an AT would be a better choice. MTs are much better for offroading, but they tend to wear down faster on the pavement.

Once you have decided on ATs / MTs, then it's really personal preference as to brand / tread pattern. Many people have strong opinions about tires - especially about the ones that they are running. In the end, any LT tire will be better than the stock P tires, and there are some great choices for both AT and MT tires.
