    Hi guys. I have a 2015 Latitude and the tires that came on it are so...boring. I know little to nothing about tire sizes, spacers and all that stuff. I just want a more aggressive looking tire. Possibly a little bigger without changing the rims, and not needing a lift or spacers. Suggestions? Help? Thanks:)

    There are a few tire threads on the forum, lets start with welcome to toaster, and what is your rim size?

    Thank you:) 16" Rims. I've read most of the forums but everyone is talking about lifts and spacers??? So confusing. I don't want to get in to all that. Just looking for a better looking (more aggressive) tire.

    what is the stock size 215/65/16? If so the KO2 should fit without issue. You have a lot of options on the 16" wheel actually General grabbers as well. The Toyo Geolander also comes to mind

    Yes, 215/65/16. Can the "215" or "65" be changed? And what difference does that make in the tire? I'm sorry if these are ridiculous questions...I'm really clueless about this kind of stuff:)

    Do you have any rims in mind that you like the look of? We can start there and see if we can find one in a 16" with the proper bolt pattern. Tires can be a bit tricker because even though the numbers on the side are the same they can be slightly different based on the brands.

    I don't mind the ones that are currently on it. Although maybe some plain steel ones would look better.

    Tire expert pet peeve : wrong tire wrong brand.

    Yokohama Geolander. Yokohama. Toyo does open country, mud country. I dont sell toyos, so just a little biased :D

    Now, with the 16" wheel you have tons of options available. Bf Goodrich will be the most aggressive all terrain available. And a few different sizes to choose from with that 16".

    I believe there are a few people running 225/70-16 Hankook ATM off-road tires on 16" non-TH with stock ride height and no spacers. They look pretty good and a bit cheaper than the ko2 and a nice alternative if you're not doing any "pushing the limits of a renegade" off-roading.
