Default 21" Tires?

Is there more than one tire available for a 2017 LX with the 21" option?
I have tried several tire sources but there appears to only be one available.
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is only one tire size. No other options. If you get a smaller rim like 20” you have a lot more options

If you pick 18" wheels, you get even more choices as well as a more comfortable ride, both on and off road.

my research only comes up with two tires both manufactured by Dunlap

GRANDTREK PT3A - SIZE: 275/50R21

WINTER MAXX SJ8 - SIZE: 275/50R21


Has anyone come up with another brand or tire?
has anyone tried the Winter Max and can it be used year around?

This is the reason why I went with the 20" Tundra rims - looks (I think) better, rides better and much cheaper tire options than the $399/each (as per TireRack)

No others that I can recall, and the Dunlap's are generally associated as about one step up from the cheapest tire you can get from Wal Mart. To me, not in keeping with the LX's inherent quality. As I posted above, I'm glad my 200 series came with 18" tires.

I don't see any reason to go with 3rd or 4th best, especially in winter. Check Blizzak's from Bridgestone. Winter tires are designed for snow and slush. You could leave them mounted all year with no issues, other than traction in a bit of mud or gravel.
