Many magnitudes better than stock. It is more stable and not nearly as twitchy as larger tires get. Once the new suspension was added it got even better. I run sweep for New England Forest Rally, so we run briskly down the rally stages to keep the event rolling. So I am quite happy with the high speed characteristics of the tire (they were great before the suspension as well)

Guys, I donot want to change anything in suspension, What is the biggest and widest size of rims and tires I can use Without rubbing or compromizing safety. Thanks.

I run 285/60/18s which are most definitely wider than stock with zero rubbing.
I bet if you guys added wheel adapters or about 1.25" of it (spidertraxx) you won't rub with the 265s or perhaps even wider.
Rubbing sucks! And wider tires with widened tracks make the truck look A LOT better/meaner.

I have some Kelly A/T's on my GX and they're not very good. They were on it when I bought the truck and are practically new, so I'll endure them. They're kinda noisy (groan) and VERY difficult to balance. Had to try 3 different places before finally getting them load balanced. Still shakes a tiny bit but hardly noticeable. I'll be going back to the OEM tire after I wear them out.

I went with firestone destination A/T's, had a lot of success with the 33X12.50X15 on my Wrangler. Went with the stock size this time around, it is a pretty good tire all around, slow wear for an A/T and keeps the stock quiet-ness*
One observation I made after the street tire came off and the A/T went on, was the brake system worked a lot better, I believe the firmer sidewall of an A/T helps a lot.
