Ive had 265/65/18 on mine for about 40k miles. They been great. Plenty off road use, no rubbing.

[@BigdogLarry]

They look awesome! Do these tires affect the luxury ride quality at all? I have a 23’GX460 as well and want a nice all terrain tire when the time comes to replace the stock Michelins. Thanks.

[@TravisKelleher]

Thanks for posting this, I recently bought a white GX460 also. I'm looking for a an all terrain tire that will add just a little height over stock. 265/65/r18 looks just about perfect on stock suspension.

[@HappyRockOffroad]

Your gonna love it! Yes I've had it for a month and haven't rubbed or any issues e the new tires highly recommend them

[@ifoundbrian]

Nice GX! Would love to see more content if you do any more mods. The mudflap removal helps with the look a lot.

[@devanrogers3133]

This is the only way to go as far as upgrading the tires on the factory GX wheels. I'm getting my new 265/65R18 Copper All Terrains mounted this morning at Discount Tire. I really wanted the 275/65R18 as I think it looks slightly better. I stuck with the 265/65R18 however. I researched this thoroughly and it's not just it rubbing those screws and or fender liner you have to worry about.......It's the UCA's in the front. I read a few stories of guys having the 275 rub on it and one guy even downsized to the 265/65 as it just wouldn't stop rubbing the UCA. Then to top it all off none of these driving tests that are being done after getting the 275's mounted involve anything close to full wheel articulation. The 275 owners think it rubs a little now but just wait until they take it off road. The 275 just isn't worth the headache. I honestly may add may add a set of extremely high quality 1" Bora Spacers later on. I'm not against high quality hub centric spacers as long as they are not to big. The reason I wanted the 275 so much is the GX is already a very tall and not very wide SUV the way it is. Then the wheels are super tucked into the fenders on top of that.........The GX looks way way better when you have wider tires or space the tire out closer to a +0 offset. Also, The other thing I don't hear people talk about enough is the lack of actual good looking aftermarket "18" or "17" wheels. I'm sorry but all the off-road style wheels look like shit on the GX. You can get good looking 20"-22" inch wheels but those sizes would make your GX ride terrible. What brand did you with for the mud flap delete or did you just cut yours?

[@HappyRockOffroad]

Hey yes I agree no rubbing with my current setup and with mild off road. It best to stay as close to oem spec because those little japanese engineers know what they are doing. I just cut my mud flaps but I did add some ppf to the are behind where the flaps used to be

[@fattuke]

very nice. looking to do something similar. i want to keep it simple for a daily driver that can still do enough when needed.

[@GuillermoGonzalez-zelglez]

Looks really great whit the new tires I own a 2023 Lexus GX460 with the sport package so I have 19 in wheels and I’m not sure what type of tire should I use to make it look little more off road but thanks for the video

[@HappyRockOffroad]

you're welcome. thank you for watching and sweet ride!

[@lawrencesayoc7459]

Looks good and like the look and was going on this exact path but wanted a little more poke on the wheels that’s why I ended up changing my wheels and tires and leveling the fronts. Hated the factory rake. I think that’s the perfect way to go if it’s just a daily driver like mine.

[@HappyRockOffroad]

Awesome, can you tell me what leveling kit you used I'm interested in doing the same

[@lawrencesayoc7459]

@@HappyRockOffroad Eibach pro truck shocks set at 1.77” lift. No need for aftermarket UCA and keeps the rest of the suspension safe and reliable while maintaining good alignment. I do minimal off roading with this GX and is a daily driver and wanted to keep the ride similar to stock, just wanted to rid of that factory rake, and this was the best choice.

[@rnleopando]

​@@lawrencesayoc7459 awesome i appreciate the info!

[@ryanhays9869]

Nice! Just got mine, getting tint today and same tires later this summer.

[@HappyRockOffroad]

I like your roof rack, where did you get them?

[@HappyRockOffroad]

It's a tyger brand roof rack from amazon

[@boomersooner9600]

Love the gx but not the roof rack and the pin stripe together. Go for a cleaner look.

[@bokatorus771]

Is there rubbing the front wheels?

[@HappyRockOffroad]

No rubbing whatsoever

[@xd40xbdcef]

Any noticable gas mileage drop?

[@HappyRockOffroad]

tbh i havent noticed much of a drop, im getting 14 mpg around city and 19 hwy before and after the upgrade

[@paulpeters5199]

Nice ride I’m guessing you got rid of the tremor

[@HappyRockOffroad]

Hey Paul, I did i got a really good deal on a 24 wrangler rubicon 4xe. really wanted a ranger raptor but didn't really want to wait for the inevitable dealer markups and low inventory

[@paulpeters5199]

Whoever buys your tremor is getting a very sweet truck for sure

[@shc9140]

Does ur GX lean to the right when you hold the steering wheel center?

[@shc9140]

Because mine does, and no matter I did 5 times alignment , it still does

[@HappyRockOffroad]

Look up gx 460 kdss lean, yours might have that issue

[@nickb1690]

What did you do about the spare tire ?

[@HappyRockOffroad]

hey i kept it the same, i think the stock spare is good enough to get me to the nearest service center.

[@bokatorus771]

Nice, It looks more aggressive which is good.

[@Rafa_guitars]

Where did you get the decals ?

[@HappyRockOffroad]

Hey I got them from etsy but ebay also has them

[@yancey8259]

Promo'SM 🤘

[@h.m.jjammag2782]

No rubbing on the front wheel well?

[@HappyRockOffroad]

Non at all! Haven't been off roading with it though but day to day no rub, even in reverse at full lock

[@djzaki]

You think spacers would make this tire setup rub?
