Tire size

Hoping to get some info on getting my first new set of tires for my 2012 dual cab long bed Tacoma. The current tire size right now that I'm looking to replace is P265/65R17. What's the largest size I can go from this current size? Truck is not modified or lifted.

Thank you in advance for any info.

 

I would say 275 would be the biggest.

That's the best tacomaworld thread on that topic. Before people start posting search engine jokes

 

275 is a width.

 

275/70/16

 

Which is like 31.6" tall

 

How much do you want to spend on suspension/body mods to fit the new tires?

Otherwise use the 10% rule (stay within 10% of stock). And see the above linked threads.

 

Just upgraded to ko2 265 70 17 from your size. I have a half inch of space between the tires and stock uca's. Decided against 275's and think I made the right choice. No rubbing at all.

 

265/75-16 is half an inch taller. The potential problem with 275/70 may be their width on stock backspace rims. My 265s have less than 1/4" (maybe only 1/8") between the sidewall and the bump on the steering knuckle. The extra 4 tenths section width of the 275s might be a problem.

 

255/75/17

 

255/75/17 if you don't want to trim anything.

 

Ya sorry i ment 265/75/16 my bad...

 

Still wish there were 255/80-16 available...

But this is your answer^.

 

it is in millimeters and used to calculate overall diameter. Here is the formula: 275/25.4x2x.70=15.157+17=overall diameter.

 

Which in no way discounts "275 is a width".

 

Yup, well aware. Which is why when someone recommends 275 as a tire size I say, 275 is a width.
