who rides 35"s with stock gears as a DD??

anyone in here runs 35" tires on stock gears as a daily? if so how is it?

I run 35s with stock gearing. My DCSB Off Road is a daily driver and my commute is 75% city / 25% highway averaging about ~12.5mpg with the TRD blower.

What experience(s) are you specifically asking about?

 

I do this. It's fine. I don't drive fast or have the desire to. Definitely slower on the highway and a bit of a hit to the gas mileage but I didn't go to 35s to be able to drive 100mph and get 30mpg.

 

Thanks guys!!! i was just wondering becuase i just ordered 35"s and 6" lift and my truck is my daily driver. gas mileage does not bother me that much i was really just wondering with the gears if it shifts a lot or strains

 

Drive around with the 35's and stock 3.73's for a while.. and upgrading to 4.56's will make it feel like a race car.

Not a Tacoma but I had a Suburban with 35's on stock 3.73 gearing for a while. I regeared to 4.56's and it was a night and day difference and drove better than stock. To put it in perspective the TBI 350 was putting 210hp/300ftlb through a power sucking 4L80E transmission and the 'burb weighed at least 6500 with a full tank of 40 gallons of fuel and all my stuff in it.

 

Just to add:

This is just a visual, but cruising on the highway/freeway, I see..

tach=2k and speedo=~68mph.

when speedo=~70mph then it's a tick past 2k rpms.

 

I'm still on stock gears. Power still seems decent to me, gets up to speed pretty good but I'm not trying to race either. I drive 50% highway & 50% city daily, once you add the difference for the tires (14.6%) to the miles traveled I'm getting mid 17's. I keep my rpms below 2k which puts the needle on 65, true speed is about 70.

 

quick MS Paint job...

 

I do like that you're a '15 and already looking for 35's

 

Pffft,I only have 32's and wishing I had 4:10s. Don't fear the gear!

 

lol thanks for the input everyone!!! i was just worried that i ordered to big of a tire!! having a 6" procomp put on and i just wanted to fill the fender well good. so i ordered 35x12.50r18 federal mt's im running 275/65r18 federals now and love the tire. ive read where people LOVE their 35's and some that Hate them!! not really worried about MPG's. i drive my truck as a daily 75% hwy the only offorad i do is to the hunting lease or the hunting camp where a 4x4 is needed.

 

How far is your commute? Just out of curiosity

 

not far maybe 10 miles a day

 

I had 35x12.5x17 on a DD with a 6 inch lift and stock gears as well seemed fine to me getting around 13 mpg and in pretty sure I wouldn't get pretty numbers at the track but I bought a truck not a racer right

 

FWIW if i didnt offroad 5 or more times a month like i do, I'd definitely not have gone to 35s.

 

I put 33's on my stock 3.73 gears (4.0L V6 Auto 4x4). I felt the reduction in umph so I put 4.56 gears on (which are probably best for 35's). Made a notable difference. But I also have extra weight from steel skids and bumpers.

Just my 2 cents!
