Soon to be new owner needing tire advice (6 Viewers)

[nukerp]

285/75/R18 or 285/70/R18? Probably going with Toyo Open Country AT3 but I'm willing to consider other options. Currently have 35 inch BF Goodrich KO2s on my Jeep so I'm considering the KO3s as well.

I just joined the forum and posted my intro:

We put our deposit down in December for an Overtrail + with an expected wait time of 4 to 6 months. Local Lexus dealer contacted us a few weeks ago stating that someone backed out of an Incognito Luxury + and gave us the chance to claim it. We originally chose the Overtrail + because we liked the offroad options and the overall look vs the Luxury. Incognito is our favorite color choice but we didn't really care so we didn't specify a color when we put in the deposit. We decided to go with the Luxury + as it had all the options we really wanted except the locker/offroad stuff and we were getting impatient. Dealer says they will get the truck between 5/17 and 5/26.

I bought some take off wheels from an Overtrail off ebay because I can stand the 22 inch wheels. I arranged to have the Westcott lift put on at the dealer before delivery so I guess I'm getting a Luxury + that will look like an Overtrail.

I just went through the same scenario and got a 2025 Lux+ in October with less than 24 hours of looking for a car before one was available. I jumped on the Lux + because it I didn’t want to wait 6 months. I had been thinking of getting an OT model all along.
Over the next few months, I kept looking at the OT and it didn’t made less sense to me to have such an off-road capable SUV with 22” wheels and missing some of the locking diffs that make it so good. (I wasn’t a fan of the moon roof either). I also wanted something a bit more rugged since I was already paying the milage price for full time 4wD. We also have some beach trips planned and airing down doesn’t seem like a great idea with low profile tires. I placed a few calls to the dealership and found that the waitlist was pretty long, unless I was flexible. I soon got an appraisal from Carmax at a couple thousand above the MSRP plus shipping - so I decided to go ahead with it.
A couple weeks later, I got the call from the dealership that a OT + was available so I went for it. This market for these cars is kind of insane. I had an offer within 12 hours for several thousand above MSRP. The transaction costs were less than a set of take off OT wheels and now I have the car I wanted all along. I do not regret having the Lux + for the 6 months.
