    So I recently got a 2013 TRD OR DC, which has 265/70 stock tires on it. I want to go up to the 265/75 tire size that everyone says will fit on my stock rims without rubbing. However I'm worried about it affecting other things on the truck like the ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control, etc. The Tacoma manual says not to ever change tire sizes on your stock rims, because it may affect these things and that these systems are all tuned to your stock tire size.

    My question is; Does anyone running a TRD Off-Road DC with stock rims and 265/75 size tires ever notice the ABS or traction control come on pre-maturely or ever act up at all?

    Not in the least! the 265/75-16 (32") is 1" taller than stock, giving you another 1/2" of ground clearance, and best of all makes the too fast speedometer read correctly! No rub at all and no affect on traction control, locker or A-TRAC. It's almost as if the truck was made for the 32" tires, but they went with 31's and then the speedometer reads too fast.

    Thanks for the reply! Now I don't feel as sketchy about moving up to the 265/75 - 16" tires.
