Help with tire sizing for 16” rims TRD off rd

Hey guys I got a 2021 tacoma 2.7 4x4
SR . I recently got a set of TRD off rd rims off market place I believe they came off 2018 . I don’t want to kill a lot of power so what’s a good tire size that will fit these rims that will raise it some I just don’t want a fat tire I want a skinny thanks

255/85/16

 

I'm running 265/75/16 on mine. Specifically Cooper Discovery AT3. Aside from the skinnies mentioned above, it's about as big as you can go without leveling or lifting. I get a quick rub on my mudflaps when bouncing over bumps when turning. No mud flaps, no rub.

 

Less than 40lb P265/75-16. As long as you do not purchase a heavy E rated tire you will be good.

The problem with 255/85/16 is they are all E load tires as far as I can see. If you want the least power loss I’d say a p metric 265/75r16 is a good compromise

 

What is E load mean ? Thanks !

 

If you plan on off-roading e rated. If not than get something else

 

The tires on the wheels now are 265/70/R16
What’s the difference if I was to get 265/75/R16 ? Is the 265/70/R16 a wider tire ?

 

Here you go

 

Seriously, use the tire calc. It's very easy to use and you can compare two different sizes to answer all your questions.

 

265 is width in mm, 70 or 75 is the aspect ratio, ie the sidewall height is 70 or 75% of the width. 16 is your rim size.

essentially a 75 series tire is 5% taller than a 70. So about an inch roughly.

 

That refers to the load rating. E is the highest for a passenger vehicle and they are generally heavier and stiffer because of their higher load weight carrying abilities.

 

E rating has a higher load rating, stiffer sidewalls, heavier carcass. Rolling weight is greatly increased thereby hurting fuel economy.

The 75 series is a taller profile tire. Think of the diameter being taller. Let's make it simple and say it's a wider sidewall where a 50 series would be a skinny-skinny sidewall like on a sports car, virtually no sidewall.

 

Last question guys and thanks for everyone’s response I do thank you very much !
I have a 4 banger Tacoma 21 model if I did slap on the 265/75/R16 would it kill my power ? I know I don’t have a ton already lol but seriously . And would it hurt my little Tacoma ?

 

From the factory the rims are fitted with 265/70/R16s. Think TRD OR and TRD Pro.
If you change the aspect ratio, know that your speedo will be off.

 

Going to a 75 series that is a P not an LT(so keeping everything as equal to factory 265/70/16 as possible) you shouldn’t notice much power loss.
Also going to a 75 puts my speedo closer to actual gps seed as stock speedos usually always read low

 

.
Every size you go up decreases power & mileage, in small increments.

I absolutely love my 265/75/16 Duratracs (C Load), and only wish they came in a 255/85/16

 

Is your a 4 cyl ??
