I just realized that tire size i asked about is actually wider then the tires that come on the raptor. Hopefully bfg offers some more sizes in a 35 that aren't as wide, other wise it's the mtr with Kevlar like on my other truck or maybe the same ones OP got.

Or you could always go with 305/65r18 when that size becomes available in the KO2

Can't really compare them to the nitto trails because it's an all terrain not a mud terrain.

Ok so I just measured my stock tires p275 65 R18, the tire calculator said they were 32.1 tall. I just measured them and they are 31 inches tall, so a 33 would actually make a significant difference especially if they are a little wider and a true 33. I really like the looks of this truck on 35s and how it feels the fender wells.

Mine has 3.55 and tuned with SCT. The gears will drag it down, but if it's tuned you won't mind at all! I went 120 miles yesterday, mostly 80mph and averaged 19.6mpg! The size/weight of the tire matters. Just because it's taller doesn't mean it's a heavier tire, something to consider.

Do you have a 5.0 or 3.5? I also have the 3.55 gears and a sct tuner.

Default 275/70/18

Im getting 275/70/18 ko2s installed tomorrow. Im pumped. Hope i like how it turns out. Can you still go whites out with these? I think I've only seen blacks out. Not sure what i prefer. My 2011 is blue. I think blacks would look better but not sure.
forgot to mention i have a 2 inch level and changed rear blocks to a 3 inch.
