    I put 235/75/15 tires on my 4 cylinder upgrading from the stock 215/70/15s and now I am having some power loss. The truck struggles when going over 70mph. Would a cold air intake help this problem and improve gas mileage? If so, what is a good one for a 2012?

    There is an ongoing debate whether or not a CAI makes any difference at all. The only difference for sure would be the sound, but arguably a secondary filter delete and aftermarket drop in filter should yield the same power gains as a CAI.

    the stock intake draws air from lower in the fenderwell, while the CAI doesn't; it draws it from the engine bay.

    there are a few threads on this.

    all of these intake mods will work as toyota has not changed the 2TR at all since it came out.
