    What's the logic behind putting a taller/wider stock tire on the TRD sport package vs the TRD Off-Road?? The sport has stock 265/65/17's which are 30.6" tall 10.4"wide the Off Roads stock is 245/75/16 30.5"tall 9.7" wide.

    tread pattern is a different story but the size kinda baffled me??

    The off road has more sidewall basically for greater shock absorption. The sport has less sidewall for better handling on pavement. I'm pretty sure they both come with 265's. If not, some argue a skinnier tire is better for off road and snow.

    265/70/R17? I thought they were 265/65/R17 to maintain same overall diameter.

    Mine came with aftermarket rims on 245/75/16 tires, they looked stupid on the TRD OR. Got rid of them asap. Went to 265/75/16 Duratracs, wasnt looking to trim metal.

    That's what I said. Lol. It makes perfect sense. Ever see a vehicle with Low Pro's go off road? Nah.

    I have a TRD off road... like stated all OR's are 265/70/16 and sports are 265/65/17's

    That stated i am contemplating going with 245/75/16's to reduce rolling resistance and increase MPG's

    Maybe you can answer my question; I have a 2014 TRD Off Road Package, I am looking to put a Toytec adjustable coilovers set at 1.5" to level the front and no lift on the back with BFG TA KO2 265/70r17 but since my truck came from the factory with 16's will this work? The small tires are killing me!
