    Just curious what people's thoughts were. I have a new 2008 DC TRD Off Road w/ the stock 16" wheels and P265/70R16 BG Rugged Trail tires. At some point I'll upgrade the tires, but from my last vehicle I sold I have left over an almost new set of 4 Yokohama Geolander Snow tires. They are size P245/70R16.

    Would the P245 fill on the 16" wheel and the tire just be skinner? Do you think that would look goofy? Thanks.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    if i remember right, the tacos w/ 245's are on the exact same rim as the offroads. it'll fit, but like u said, narrower and shorter i'd think

    My truck came with P245/75R16s. The 265/70R16s are considered optional or upgraded tires from Toyota. In regards to my tires, the 245 is millimeters across, the 75 is aspect ratio or sidewall height, R is radial and 16 is tire/wheel diameter. You can use this to compare your winter tire numbers.

    FWIW, I upgraded my stock 245 Dunlops to Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors & stayed with the 245/75R16s. You can look in my gallery (camera icon) to get an idea of how they will fill in a wheel well.

    Not sure if this helps but Congrats on the new tacoma!
