Define appropriate times?

 

I’ve had two sets: E rated and P rated. Of the two, the P rated tires are a much better fit for the truck due to weight and rotating mass. Never and issue, but I don’t do a lot of rock garden stuff at low pressure.

 

I just saw my new tires . I got the stock size 265/70r 16 and right on the side wall it's states the size as also being 31x10.5 . I thought the tire is 30.6 inches in diameter?

 

Ya... I know the falkens run a little bigger than some others. I removed a tire that was 32" and replaced them with a 265/70/17 which should be 31.6", but they measure the same height when mounted and on the truck. Fyi, my tires read 32" on the sidewall.

 

Does 265/75/16 fit a stock Tacoma?

 

I just called my local tire company that has been services my family's vehicles for decades and they quoted $633 out the door for these tires in 265/75/16. Good deal?

Just wanting a beefier stance and look to the truck without having to do any type of lift.

 

If you're using stock wheels, you should be fine. May have to remove/modify your mud flaps. If you're going to use aftermarket wheels, there are a lot of variables that come into play.

 

I got mine for $550 OTD

 

$633 OTD isn't bad........mounted & SL rated ?

 

$550 OTD is a smokin deal !

 

I agree! Got the tires for $490 then had them mounted and balanced for $60

 

just looked at my DTD invoice from Nov.....

Cooper AT3's SL 265-75x16 was $524 shipped (+ wheels..etc)

Road hazard was $63.........sensors were $100 (never again)

 

Just got a set in that size on my 08. No problems

 

Thanks guys. Stock wheelse. Front mudflaps were off the truck when I bought it, assume the previous owner had bigger wheels and removed them before he traded it in.

 

How are the 265/75/16 SL for some rare moderate rock crawling?

 

My question as well. I'm concerned about punctures with an SL tire.

 

Although I haven't tested them, I don't see there being a big issue. The SL tires have a higher load carrying capacity than my old c range BFG tires. The old ply ratings don't mean squat anymore...

 

Finally got a chance to test them in the dirt at an OHV park. The did great for me. I wasn't doing the deep mud bogs or hardcore rock crawling, but all the dirt hills and moderate mud was no problem. Very happy with them. I'm running 265/75/16 P rated (I think Falken calls is 116R) I forget exactly but it's not the heavy version.

 

I have P rated 285/70/17. I drive probably 80% highway 20% local. from stock wheels/tires I averaged 20 mpg? now i average 17-18 mpg.
