I have a 2008 fj cruiser that is my everyday driver. I will probably be doing some new tires here in a few months. I put 285s on about a year ago. They are nice to have for getting more ground clearance. My fj cruiser also has a 2 1/2 inch coil kit. I know that running the bigger tires wears components out faster than having the stock tire size. What do you guys suggest? I know there are some Toyota owners out there. Have you had any problems with the front end like cv axles by running bigger tires?
Going back to stock tires or stay with 285s

Not a Toyota, but on my Mitsubishi (UK - L200 pick up), running the larger tyres (and wheel spacers) with a 2" suspension lift - the only detrimental effect has been a hunger for wheel bearings. CVs are at a sharper angle, but they seem to survive OK - but I guess that will depend on quality of manufacture - I've run both OEM and after market versions.
The L200 has wishbone and torsion bar front suspension.
