The ol'e Tire questions

Hey Tacoma world,

Quick question.. I apologize in advanced as I am fairly new to the "truck world". I plan on driving this truck to the ground. Personally reliability is my first priority and secondly comes mpg due to my everyday commute. Practical is my middle name. I don't plan on lifting the truck because I don't need it, my truck performs fine for my weekend adventures as is. And again reliability is important and I don't want to be swapping out drive line components in the future.

I finally picked the tire I will be purchasing but now I'm stuck on what size to get. (i.e. on Stock trd sport wheels)

I've been told the bigger tire you go it will decrease mpg due to the weight. Also can a bigger tire size put more stress on drive line components. I know if you don't get a proper suspension lift it's possible but can larger tires do the same?

I have a trd sport. 265/65 17.. What size do you recommend? I've been seeing a lot of 265 70 17 but I feel that will decrease my mpg too significantly. I am considering just sticking with stock size so I don't have to deal with speedometer changes etc. Thanks for the input

 

Stick with your stock size

You are over thinking this

 

haha this website has made me overthink everything. And obviously bigger tire the "cooler" it looks.

 

Then get some 315 and ko2 and you will be mad pimping

 

Bro....get you some 35's and trim your fenders

 

Leave it alone...enjoy your nice new truck and don't waste $ on crap that only costs you more $ in the long run..!!
Wear out the tires you have .... then you can consider what tires are next...

 

Gotta get the Cab mount chop bro, and I technically don't even know what that is

 

Be like the Bro's get some big KO2's .. it don't matter if they rub or drop your mileage as its all about looking cool bro

 

You gotta beat that pinch weld back with a mallet bro
