    Good morning all,

    I just purchased my very first Tacoma. It is a 2017 TRD Sport. I'm converting from a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. Looking to do some mods on this truck.

    From what I've seen just browsing around before joining. it looks like there are a bunch of great guys on here with some great information.

    I know this is probably been asked before. The tires on the truck now are currently 265/65/17. I want to put a 3-2 lift on it and was wondering what size tire everybody is running. Plus how bad will the speedometer be off with a bigger tire? I was thinking of 275/70/17

    Welcome to the best damn Tacoma forum on the interwebs :hattip:

    Spend some time deciding what purpose the tires will serve and that will help you decide what size you need. Bigger is only better if you need them. 33" seems to be the sweet spot for something to daily drive and off road in. However enhanced skills will always matter more than size :thumbsup:

    Definitely going to be a daily driver with probably no off roading other than at my camp which isn't anything major.
    Any good suggestions on tires. My old RAM I always ran hankook atm or at2. I loved them

    Keep the tires light weight then, p rated or SL. Heavy tires will kill your mpg and make the truck shift like shit.

    People Love the at3 4s. In a 285/70/17 p rated they’re only 46 lbs. that’s not bad.
