I know nothing about tires...

    Hi all,

    I have a 2017 TRD OR with my original tires with a little over 30k on them. I know nothing at all about tires. Today I noticed my driver side front tire was low, after filling it, it almost immediately dropped back down. Unfortunately my normal shop wasn't open today so I went to American Tire. Was told the tire couldn't be patched due to its age.

    I don't really go off-roading at all, but it is something I wanted to get into. I live in California so I don't have to worry about snow. I asked for something equivalent to my current stock tires, and this is what they offered me. They didn't have any in stock so they ordered them and they will be here tomorrow. Would these be ok for me for my use case? If I do ever go off roading, it probably won't be anything to extreme.


    Thanks!

    That's probably all I will ever do, thank you!

    Yep if you do the driving described, those will do fine. I have one of those as a full size spare actually, bought it used from a tire place. Never had to use it though.
