Just got a 2020 trail boss, put on some 2957018 Firestone destination MT2, great tires. minor rubbing when backing up on the mud flap.

I have 2019 trail boss with leveling kit and Yokohama 295/70r18 mt's

Took some time to decide on the right tires, but in the ended up with 305/65/18 Falken Wildpeaks.  They fit perfect, no rubbing at all.  About 1/2 inch from the UCA. 

They also drive much nicer than the stock Goodyears.

Is your trail boss stock no level kit or anything?

yes, no lift kit of anything, totally stock. a little annoying but I rather be annoyed with mud flaps then have stones hit my truck.

Looks great!  Hows your mpgs and speedometer?  Lot more rolling resistance with the 305 profiles compared to the stock 275s.  Just curious.  Thanks!

Thanks !

I added a K&N air filter when I changed the tires and honestly, my mpg has seem to have gone up 1-2 mpg.

 

As far as the speedometer goes, according to a few of the radar speed limit signs that i have passed, it is still accurate.

Thanks to those on here for sharing info to help me make some decisions. Final product was to level the front with ReadyLift 1.75” so I can replace the UCA since I’ve heard of the stock UCA failure and I didn’t want to take that risk. But with that, I couldn’t run my stock Trailboss wheels anymore since it’ll rub the new UCAs. Ended up with Method 309s 0 offset and kept my 295/70/18 Falkens. Here’s a comparison.

i have the same setup, no level, and they rub a little bit at full lock.  i plan to add a 1 inch level and at that point i think there will be no rub.

Thanks to all the info I read here, I just put Toyo Open Country AT3’s, 295/70/18s, on my 2021 Trail Boss. Wanted to avoid any further suspension mods and keep with the factory wheels so I went this route. I’m very pleased with these as they really filled the wheel wells in better but without the excessive weight and drag of a larger tire, wheel, lift combo. Smooth running tire, no rubbing at all, fairly quiet on the highway also.

Looks great! Wasn't sure from your post though, do you or do you not have any suspension mods? Are you on the stock suspension?

[TrailBoss401]

It is stock a stock suspension. However, as you probably know the ‘stock’ Trail Boss has a factory 2” lift. I did not add anything additional to it and there is zero rub on these tires.

Got it, thanks! That's the look I'm going to be going for once these Duratracs wear down. Although I probably will be adding some upgraded shocks (Bilstein 5100's or 6112's) in the future. However I like the stock ride height and rake.
