Tires: 16 vs 17

You can go the 255 route and get true 33's.

 

I 100% agree the OR and Pro (and Trail) should come with different tires.

 

yes..

 

I too 100% agree.

What bugs me the most on YOUTUBE is, stock Tacoma's vs Competition and all the competition have Duratracs, K02's, etc... and the TACO's have "KEVLAR" Highway Tires.

As predicted, the Taco keeps up regardless...

YES! It drives me bonkers. I brought new tires to the dealership when I picked up my truck and them install them before I left lol

 

Ummm, there are plenty of Taco's with 16" SCS wheels.

 

LOL…like this one.

 

Same here. My next tire is gonna be a 255 Pizza Cutter 33" tire. Unfortunately my Duratracs dont come in that size.

That leaves me with either a 255/85/16 or 255/80/17 in a 33" tire. If I go 17", then I have to replace my OEM 16" rims.

My #1 tire needs are a 3 peak snow designation, and an aggressive A/T thread. (Most in these sizes are an M/T.)
#2 ideally would be NOT to get an E Load tire, but believe they all only come in an E load.

I believe only Wildpeaks currently offers what I need with the 3 peak and aggressive A/T 255/80/17 tire. Unfortunately I believe they also only come in a E load in that size.

Feel free to correct me, if there are other tires out there with my #1 needs.

 

Looks nekked without the fender flares. My truck will look nearly identical once my UCA's arrive, though I went with the grey SR8's. And my truck isn't nekked.

 

Went with 265/75R16 Toyo Open Country AT3 116T. They are just slightly bigger than stock and a bit more aggressive. I'm really happy with them

 

In my opinion, I have owned 4 Tacos, the 16" wheel is superior for off-road since you can easily air it up and down. I have a eibach stage 2 pro front lift 2.5 and icon AAL with overload spring. I can flex all day without worrying about rub and still get 20mpg with ikamper 265/70/16 wtang
