    Yea, I didn't go into it as far calculating the circumference difference and that's affect on the auto calculator on the truck. Ill check it the old fashioned way this afternoon. Either way, Im keeping the current setup.

    I have not been able to use the cruise since I bought the truck, thing was constantly shifting between 4th and 6th. I was trying to wait until my 5k trip to the dealer to talk about having the transmission TSB done. Oh and the whistling CA's.

    It's something like 3.7% difference in size.

    So.. you're getting 3.7% better economy than you think. Unfortunately that's like 11 miles per tank assuming you hit 320.

    E rated! You will have to let me know what kind of MPG hit you see with those. My rig went from 23/24 to 18/19 with P metric 265/75s. Yours will be at least another 20 lbs heavier, I'd think.

    I guess I got confused since you posted this in a Discount Tire thread, not a cheap tires on eBay thread. People are buying these through Discount Tire's eBay store.

    Good info, either way. :thumbsup:

    If the $ seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    I had a 2012 prerunner, so I remember those 17mpgs. I do miss a lot about that truck tho, the 4.0 was fantastic. I traded it in because I had the transmission replaced at 400 miles. then it started acting up again at 80k miles. I like the 2017 over all tho, and I still have my 95 tacoma for the off road toy/huntin truck.

    I like the falkens. They are super quiet for an AT.

    Absolutely the best tires I have had in a long time. Maybe the best ever but too soon to be sure.
    Mine show NO wear after 3,000 miles. No surprise, as that's not a lot of miles. Seriously though, they look brand new. My driveway is 1/8 mile of gravel and my commute is approximately 900 miles a month. Winding mountain roads up to and over 70 mph speed limit.
    No wheeling yet, due to replacing the UCAs twice and downtime.
    Very quiet, exceptional wet weather performance even in standing water, and great looking for such a well-mannered tire.

    I'm digging the Falken a/t3w in a 315/75r16, put these on few weeks ago and really impressed with them.
