New Tacoma

New to Tacomas and TW. Have a 4runner too, so not completely new to Toyota. Had it 2 days before towing my Ranger to deer camp and home in a snow storm. Stock tires were then off by 1500 miles and put on S/T MAXX 255/85s. Have ditch lights ready to install and ordering sliders, hidden mount and winch today. Lift will be next, but I'm trying really hard to pace myself lol. So far, I love the truck and I can't wait for spring to get out off pavement.

 

Tell me bout them tires! I’m looking to get a set on mine. What mpgs do you get now?

 

According to my math, I dropped a little over 1 MPG. I can tell a little in breaking and acceleration, but not enough to worry about it. Ride is quite a bit stiffer, but I need to chalk test them and probably pull some air out. Tire shop had them at 46 psi! I dropped to 40, but I need to test now that it is a little more dry out.

 

Are they much louder than stock?

 

Not enough to even notice by anyone but me. I was really surprised. MUCH quieter than the the BFG K0s I have run in the past.

 

I'm liking that 255/85 size more and more that I see them. And that pic is with no lift...?

 

Correct, all stock suspension. I have been on mild to medium trails and no rubbing anywhere.

 

Nice, welcome to TW

 

Looking good. Nice color choice

 

Can’t go wrong with S/T Maxx. Looks great.

 

Thank you guys. More adventures to follow. Some mild winter wheeling and camping later this month already planned and working on planning bigger spring trip now.

 

I do good to get 16 MPG pulling my SxS.
