Not my car but 285/75/18 on stock ‘25 OT

This looks good. Wonder if they have any issues.. if not then the 2025 OT should have come with this size from factory to compliment the higher ride height IMHO.
If anyone wants some stock premium+ inspiration
If you're considering KO3's watch out that tire dealers are giving you the latest version of that tire. A buddy of mine bought a set at a local Discount Tire this week and 3 tires were the newest (2nd) version and one was the original version. Different tread, different design. Manager said not aware there were two versions. They did correct the problem. It appears that some of the older tires are still in the warehouses. Just a heads up.
Is that 275/60/20?
Anyone with KO3s on stock OT+ wheels can provide feedback on ride quality and noise compared to the AT3s? I know the latter OEM is not the ‘E’ rated version and I’m wanting to go to 285r65 18s and can’t bet clarity from YouTube, Reddit…etc. sources on what to expect. Some people say the K03s are quiet while others say they aren’t. The Toyos seem to also be mixed but slightly better on road vs off.
Thanks for any thoughts or feedback!

Had Toyo OEM's on my OT for only 30 miles before putting on KO3 265/70 18 E on the stock wheels. So no experience on Toyo's but love the KO3s. Have 6,000 miles and two major trips pulling trailer. Did a little off road too. Great tire! Previously went through 3 sets of KO2's on my 4Runner and have found the KO3's to be quieter and smoother on highway vs the KO2's.
FYI, the OEM Toyo Open Country ATlll on GX550s are not the same Open Country ATlll sold at retail. Retail version is a much better tire. I found out by accident and was shocked. Also, if you go the KO3 route make sure to get the most current version of the tire. Crazy as it sounds BFG revised that tire after it was introduced. Tread design different, shoulder different. Some of the first versions are still in tire dealer stocks though not sure what sizes they might be. Local Discount Tire still had some just last week.
Boomer!

What and how did you paint the wheels? I see that you did replace the tires.
I love this idea! Any specific recommendations when doing this (Paint etc)? I want to get new wheels as I despise the Premium plus wheels but can't pull the trigger just yet...
In matters of taste there can be no dispute.
At least that’s what my dad used to say.
That said, I hate these. So effing busy.
They're powder coated gloss black.
