    A few.
    I had a set of the Falkens in that size on mine but SL rated. 1 mpg lost but no notice of power loss. Would likely be different with E load.
    The speedo is actually 2 mph off with the stock size tires and switching to 265/75/16 makes it dead on

    Leveled with Bilstein 5100 shocks, Falken Rubitrek AT 265/75 tires, Redline hood struts, R4T tailgate lock, Matt Gecko LED strips in bed and under hood, WeatherTech hood guard, OEM bed mat, Husky floor mats, Carhart seat covers, Grille replacement with Toyota letters, Sony AX6000 head unit, OTT lite/mild tune, and an occasional splash of fuel additive.
    I ran 285/75/16 KO2s that were E rated for 50k miles. They were noisy, heavy, and terrible on slick roads with wear. I downsized to 265/75/16 Kumho AT52 P rated, and so far so good. Snow/ice was great last week. We shall see how they hold up. I still like looks with these, ride is good, mileage increased. I recalibrated my Hypertech speedo calibrator to support new tire size. All good!

    Several sober experts say the Tacoma is simply not meant for heavy E rated tries, especially if a daily driver.... but the KO2 reach still rages. Very nice tires. E rated is simply a deal killer.
