Looking good. You got them C loads huh?285/70/17 Falkens on SCS wheels. Lost some ground clearance, gained some performance.

After seeing how thick the SL sidewalls are I opted for that. If I puncture will go C.
Man, so torn. I have 2024 Pro and I just went through this whole tread. I was set on just tossing a set of 275/70-18 on the stock wheels but now I'm debating on getting a 17 inch wheel and tossing a 285/70 tire on that. Same boat, I don't want to run an "E" load tire. Figure I can go to a "C" load BFG.
Ran a "C" load tire (285) on my 3rd gen and really liked it. Worked great for daily commute and worked awesome when weighed down with a tent and gear for camping.

So, I think both work fine, but when I switched to lighter wheels and tires the truck just handles better. Turning feels sharp and it has more pep. That said, I lost 0.25” ground clearance which sucks. My Flaken 275/70/18s were 33.43” tall and were the perfect size. But my current 285/70/17s are more zippy. Depends on what you care about more. Do you need more slow speed over landing and ground clearance or more aggressive driving? You could also grab some E load Toyos in 275/70/18 which are lighter than most and could be a good middle ground.
