I have the same color GX OT Plus! Are those the Toyo 285/75/18’s.

I'm interested in your choice. My OT isn't ready for a new set yet, but I've started thinking about it. These look great from a noise and ride perspective. Other than tread pattern, is there any other meaningful difference (like carcass strength) between an on-road and off-road all-terrain tire in SL for light off roading?
I'm not planning to change suspension or go from the OE wheel for my current use. If I decide to do any serious off-roading in the future, it'll be with another wheel/E-load combo.
It sounds like you’re on the right path (well..the same I chose).
Your possible future intent - if you do decide - would be just like many on the forum: different wheel, a tougher E tire.
Your near term: the exact Nitto tire I described above (model, size, SL, on the stock wheel) worked really well. It was very quiet, handled great on road, I drove a few ‘light’ Moab trails, and I towed on pavement for 3 trips with it.
At the time, it filled the wheel arches on my non-lifted ‘24 OT well and was an excellent compromise. It did reduce the well-known ride vibration issue.. somewhat, but certainly not totally.
Meaningful Difference? assuming both SL, then possibly..slight noise diffs, weight (maybe fuel mileage), and if a tire has the 3PMSF snow rating. Your call.
I believe the Nitto TG G3 SL has a good rep on this forum; I don’t recall any complaints, flats, issues being noted.

I'd love to see some other photos. I like the OEM rims, I don't tow anything...but I'd like them to look a bit "beefier" - spacers might do the trick...not sure what that would do the ride though. All very new to me - but, loving my OT+ so far.
I couldn’t help but notice the backwards flag. Shouldn’t the stars be forward?
Yep. It’s wrong on two levels. Union always to the left on static display or union forward for direction of travel. Probably came as a set and got put on the wrong sides. I’ve seen several dealerships do that with stickers they’ve added.
My Dad has a backward flag on his tailgate and it bothers me every time I see it.

Not sure. Its not my truck
I’m possibly trading my 24 OT for a 25 OT and exploring tire options. Would prefer to not do the Westcott lift again. Are you running into any rub issues with 285/75s? Any spacers or anything?
Not my car but I do know you have to remove the front crash bars (2 bolts - easy removal)
What size rims are y’all discussing?
285/75R18 vs 285/75R20 are completely different tires.
Also, please reference the rim width when discussing offset because that is a key factor in determining fitment.

Combo of things. Overall I’ve been happy with the Westcott lift. I’ve got an early 24 OT and get a fair amount of vibration and a little sidestepping on bumpy roads. Also, don’t want to wait on the lift and pay again for install. If I upgrade to the 2025 with the 1” additional lift, I’d prefer to keep the stock setup and just upgrade tires. Hopefully better ride, less cost, and less hassle.
We're huge on Toyo A/T III's. It's not the very best looking tire out there, but it still looks good and simply performs every time. They last forever, balance extremely well, and it's very rare that they require force matching to get runout within spec. Great tires all around.
Hi Matthew,
I just sent you a PM with a question about a part.
TIA,
DJ.

Who cares what it looks like. Performance is the only thing I care about when buying tires. Toyos deliver. I have no reservations about using them.
If you can get them mounted correctly, aligned with the dots, they rarely go out of balance.
