First car upgrade in over a decade… Should I go for bigger tires?

Finally got my first new car after 11 years! Thinking about bigger tires, but not sure where to start. Any good recommendations?

Going for a lift and bigger tires is the best move

Looks sweet! What lift kit and tires did you go with?

Went with a 2-inch lift from Flatout Suspension and put on 245/65/17 Goodyear AT tires.

Thank you so much!

The 245/65/17 is usually the biggest size folks go for around here.

Does the tire size change your speed readings much?

Yeah, it shows about +3 mph faster than the actual speed.

Just a heads up, a lift and tires will run you around $1500-$2000.

Ouch…might need to save up a bit more!

Might be worth looking into suspension upgrades too.

Already got a solid lift and tires here. It’s looking good as is!
