My brother passed away and left me a 2016 tacoma off road , he watched your videos , now im watching , good info thanks !
Chloe, you are amazing. Thank you for making me love my '22 trd offroad Tacoma more than I did when I bought it.. a feat I didn't think possible till watching many of your videos. Keep it up!
13:30 13:34
First video of yours I’ve seen. I lifted my ‘16 2” but stayed with the 265 KO2s and experienced a loss in gas mileage. Combined I’m around 17. Great info! Those C rated 285s are the lightest LTs I’ve seen. Definitely considering them! Thanks!!
I upgraded my 21' Taco TRD Off-Road 4x4 with a 20"x9" inch Fuel wheel with the 275x55x20 KO2's by BF Goodrich on a 3" Rough Country lift with the Vertex adjustable coil overs on the front & the Vertex adjustable shocks on the rear with the 2" lift heavy duty Old Man Emu leaf springs & I don't really hear an excessively loud road noise while driving. I installed the EVC Ultimate 9 throttle controller & I don't have any problem accelerating with the oversized tires especially when it set on U9. My gas mileage on the other hand is another thing, I get around 11mpg in the city & a combined of 14mpg as of the last tank of gas I used, but the look is amazing. I have done a lot of extra mods that I probably would not have thought of if it weren't for Chloe's channel. Thank you Chloe & keep up the good work.
Excellent videos Cloe. Thanks very much. I’ve never owned one. But here at 61, I am about to get in my very own 2022 Tacoma Trail edition. Ordered it back in October 2021, and am expecting delivery of it in about two to three weeks, fingers crossed .
I am sure I’ll be installing wing-mirror turn signals and the license plate glare reduction tabs. Excellent videos. Please keep up the good work. Thanks again.
I had 265/75/16 KO2s and loved them and went 285s on my first gen Tundra. Now that I have a new 2023 on order I'm convinced that 275/70/17 is the unspoken hero and a great middle of the road tire. 🤙🤙 Beautiful truck!
you still running a stock suspension/lift and getting 275's? tell me how they are and if you experience any rubbage
cheers!
Just got my falken wildpeak 275/70/17s. Can’t wait to put them on my Tacoma. Wish more tire companies made a 275
@@JC-wz9mc that’s too heavy
Toyo 275 less weight
I just put 285/70/17’s on my 2022 trd pro with the stock setup - (1.5” lift in front and .5” block in rear). Minor rubbing in full lock and reverse. I did some plastic trimming and obviously removed the mudflaps and so far so good. No cab mount chop needed.
I am partial to "skinny" 255/85r16 KM3s for use here in East Tennessee... 33" tires that do not need as much modification to run.
i have a 2020 sr 2x4 stock tacoma and looking for the same size at your set up. any rubbing or need to lift? thanks
Did you have any rubbing issues with the 255/85/16? That’s what I’m looking at going to on my 21’ TRD off-road, with OME lift
I have not made the switch yet... I have however been talking to a couple people who did. (one drives a 2018 TRD OR (same model as mine) With no lift I am told they had very rare rubbing, but these are overlanders, not rock crawlers.
gogoy, 2x4? I do not even know how much clearance you would have... I have not owned a 2 wheel drive in maybe 15 years now, and that was my first ford ranger.
busted knuckles, my own plan for my 2018 is when the tires wear down, I am going non lifted with the 255s, if I have rubbing trouble I will be going OME myself (the old fashioned lift kit not that BP51 or whatever it is called) until I can afford fox shocks with deaver rear leafs. That would add 2 inches, which as I understand it would be plenty for an overland or light trail truck, but insufficient for something meant to do twisty trails. From my research into it, 3" is probably the ideal case, but the lift kits get a LOT more pricy at that mark. The OME lift kit was my plan before I even had the trick in my driveway, then Chloe got me lusting after that fox suspension :) (I have to admit, the Fox IS a better suspension (in both function and appearance) than the OME, but comes at around 3+ times the price). But with closing down my business during covid and everything else the budget is not looking forward to replacing 5 tires, AND doing a lift, so I am now looking at doing it in stages.
Still as I said above. The skinnies are said by several driving them to be good with no lift unless you push the flexing too far. They will give you just shy of 1.5" actual ground clearance increase. With no lift they will still tub when under compression, especially if turning, but not as badly as wider tires do.
The 285/75r16 are 32.8" and 11.2" wide while the 285/75r17 are 33.8. The 255/85/16 sit between the two at 33.1 (with some brands measuring in at 33.4) they are also approximately 10" wide and run on stock wheels, though those method wheels Chloe got with their bead grip technology are GREAT, they are not my aesthetic choice, but have functional advantages. Still hard on the budget at $300+ each (not as bad as some wheels I have looked at... Have you priced Hutchenson DOT approved beadlocks lately??? )
Size wise, the 285 are better in loose sand because they have better flotation, while the 255s are better in snow as they dig down better. In mud, the narrower tires are a mixed bag depending on the trail conditions. If it is mud on a firm bottom, the 255 has the advantage, but if it is mud that has been churned deep they will not help you at all. On rock, it is mixed, but the wider tires will often help due to larger contact patch, but I have seen more wide tires die to side wall damage than I have seen skinnies. The 255s also win in fuel economy as they have 10" less width and a smaller contact patch. This can also be detrimental when stopping on wet roads. Since my useage profile is daily driver, overlander, and mild trail rider, they make sense for me.
oh and you won't get a ticket for your tires sticking out too far unlike some 285s I have seen :D
@@mattlewandowski73 I too am going with the original OME lift, the BP-51 looks nice but I would do Fox/deaver if I wanted to spend that much. I do off-road my truck but it’s not often and it’s usually pretty slow and steady as I don’t want to tear up a brand new rig. I was looking into the 255’s primarily for the run that 285s have. I’m still unsure if I need the full 33 and might just go with a nice set of 265/75/16. The last overland trip I went on I was completely stock and my friends 19 TRD was stock except BFG all terrains in 265/75 and both of us had no real issues following friends that had 3-4” lifts and 33-35” tires on their jeeps. The biggest issue was clearance and break over on the steep trails, but with some spotting and good lines it was all doable. For being stock and completing the trail loop we did at AOAA I was sold that a 2” lift with even a 32”ish tire would make the Tacoma twice as good off-road. Thank you for the reply and sorry to hear about Covid affecting your business, a lot of that over the past year.
I'm doing the same. 4runner with 255/80 17 love pizza cutters and the saving in weight with the $$ saved by using the TRD wheels are a bonus.
Man, nearly every time you put a video out I get reminded of how much I love that I stumbled across your channel.
Girl you are killing it! I am so happy for you and your channel! Congrats!
Running 285 75 16 Yokohama Geolandars on a set of Volks & BP51 suspension. Fairly stock setup except some sliders. Regeared 4:56 Nitros to get some of the power back & it was a huge difference! Still needed a OV tune to smooth out the Trans. I have noticed in mine running good fuel makes a difference in MPG, if i can i run Sinclair but their few & far between.
Its nice to see a young lady involved in 4Xs & offroading 😁
Not C-Load rated but when I searched around the 2 lightest tires I found in the 285/75/16 size are the Bridgestone AT Revos and the Firestone Destination ATs . Both weigh in at 51lbs, the same as those C-Load BFGs.
Thanks for the insider pricing. It saved me $100s over suggested price. Basically got the 5th wheel for free with change back 🙂Went with MR703 17" and Falken AT/4w 10ply over the KO2s
This was a really helpful video as I am in the process of building out a 2022 Tacoma and trying to figure out the right balance between stock (since its a daily driver) and off-road. Thanks -
I have to just say this is my favorite video that I have seen of yours. Thanks so much for deciding to give us your thoughts on the 285. I had no clue about the whole pro total rebuild either, so thanks for the details there. I have a 2016 trd off road in silver like yours. Can I recommend RIPP SUPER CHARGER COIL PACK? I absolutely love the power it gave me with air intake mods.... Thanks again 👍👍4u!
I’m running a set of 285/75/16 Cooper AT3 XLT’S on my 2006 Toyota Tacoma it’s all stock and I mostly did it for the looks. Overall happy with them.
@2:10 That explains the alignment issue you have on the front passenger fenders and the hood, awesome video!
One thing I looked at before I got my 285’s was the weight. I got a 285/70/17 ridge grappler in a Passenger load which is a 4ply Weighing 49lbs each vs a 10ply weighing much more. I strictly drive on road so I really only upgraded for looks.
I'm getting the 285/65/18 grapplers ...Should I get the 70's? There's only a 1/2 in height to my knowledge...What do you think?
285's looks so awesome on our tacos, wish it was it came factory, with the proper mods to to compliment that size
I noticed in the 33 second mark on the video, when the suspension is cycling, there is lots of play in the bushing of the lower control arm.......?
That truck is looking great, keep up the great work
Just started following your channel, thanks for all the extra info Chloe!
When i read the title. The 1st thing that popped in my brain was PROBLEMS 😅. Truck looks great. Excellent coverage. Thx
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥let go!!!! Chloe your truck looks amazing I love the upgrade you did on your truck 🛻 keep up the awesome work everybody let get this channel to 100k subscribers🎊🍾🎉 I believe that we can do it💪🏾😎💯
I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma I have those tires on mine they don’t make that much noise I have different wheels but I did go to 17 for the same reason love the style love the look I wish I could load up a picture of my truck so you could see it you’re doing a great job I like seeing your videos
I love the 33's on my new Tacoma. However, its not just the size you have to be careful about but the load rating and weight too. Some mud tires will weigh 60 lbs or more at that same size and will be very loud on the highway.
I upgraded to 285/75R16 a few months ago and it DEFFINANTLY impacted my mpg and power. Put on 33" Mickey thompson Baja Boss tires on Method 701s. Its a very heavy setup.
What are MPG are you getting with 285’s?
@@JC-wz9mc its complicated. Ive added more upgrades than just the tires both before and after the tires. At the time, I believe my MPG dropped from 18 to 15-16. That may also incorperate the lift added to accept those tires, (2.5" icon stage 2, with add a leaf in rear) or also by the extra weight of the baja boss tires themselves vs a lighter 33" tire.
@@jaranus597 that’s a nice lift! Thanks for the reply. I ordered 275’s and wish I had gone with a 285. It’s mostly a daily driver but love the look of the 285.
great video. just put these same tires on last week. love them
I run 285 70 R 17 KO2s on my 21 Offroad. Made it a little bit doggy and downshift more My speedo also reads under by about 3mph. I changed to TRDPro wheels because I hated the 16" wheels that came with it. Makes the lifted Tacoma look much better.
is your taco lifted at all or can you get away with 285s stock?
I have the exact same tires on my 2019 Tacoma. I didn't remove the black plastic piece that is under the front bumper, so occasionally the tires will rub when I have the wheels cranked and am hitting a bump at the same time. Otherwise I like these tires and agree with your assessment regarding gas mileage etc.
Love the stance Chloe!! Looks great!
I have 285 ko2 tires on my 2018 trd off road and I get roughly 16mpg in city and 18-19 on highway, it’s not the worst but it does make a bigger difference in the amount of power you feel you get, I am looking to get a tuner to make it feel like I’m getting somewhat the same power and see if it helps my mpg a little
I have the same Methods and same titanium gloss color on my f150 and it looks boss with my white truck. Good choice Chloe.
Great Video! I’ve got 285 Nitto grapplers on my ‘19 sport with a 23/4” leveling kit. I am just a mall crawler at the moment and would love to get out on a trail.
Do you have the 285/70's or 65's?
Always such good content!
I have a white 2014 tacoma with a 6-inch lift and 285's that looks exactly like this truck. I LOVE it, yeah the 4.0 V6 with 285's aint getting me more than 15.1 miles per gallon but man they don't feel bumps at all 😂👌
Nice info. Thanks for sharing.
I have 275/70R17 Falken Wildpeak tires on my 2022 Lexus GX460 with a 2.5" suspension lift. They are a bit louder than the stock tires, especially on the highway, but not annoyingly so. I think the Lexus has better sound deadening than the Tacoma though. I get a tiny bit of rubbing at full lock only under compression or in reverse, I think it is coming from a bolt head for the mud flaps. I have about 10k on them now and I do actually take it off road occasionally and so far I'm really happy with them. Thinking of going with a 265/70R17 on my son's Tacoma so thanks for posting this. It is very helpful.
I just got mu falken wildpeak 275/70/17 and soon will be putting them in my Tacoma. My wife also has them in 275’s on her limited 4runner. I can’t hear them at all. Which is why I got them. Hoping they are quiet.
I have a similar set up and got the KDMAX tune and love it! The tune brought back good gas milage and solid shifting. Would recommend the tune for anyone.
what's the price on that?
@@jonathanguzmanaldapa9234 It can be between $300-$500 depending on where you are in the country. I paid $440 but I'm CA! I would watch UA-cam videos about it and they also discuss cost.
@@rquiles24 I live in Sacramento California where are you from?
Thanks for this informative video. Believe I might settle in the happy medium of 275s for when I upgrade tire size. So I am assuming that with a 2" lift in the front and 1" in the rear - there should be no rubbing issues?
What would be really cool is if both trucks have crawl control is to compare the traction on the same obstacle with the same tire pressure and see what happens...
And then after that put the bigger tires at the load inflation table recommended pressure and do the comparison to the smaller tires at the door jamb pressure.
I actually really want to do this test with my Jeep since I have select speed which is the same thing as crawl control.
I dont even have a tacoma i have a raptor but I still enjoyed watching this, like all of your videos!
A retune can help with the power loss, primarily as it will remap your shift points. Regearing IS appropriate to the nearly 10% increase in diameter that going from factory to 33" gives you, but it is not "cheap". Additionally the larger tires have a noticeable effect on articulation (particularly up front) where 285's are known to produce noticeable rubbing (mostly during steering under compression) even on moderately lifted (1-2") vehicles, do to the combination of larger diameter and wider stance.
Mine have never rubbed at all with a 2" lift.
I normally recommend skipping the retune right away and just re-gearing. I did just a tune on my wrangler and all it caused was more issues. Put less pressure on the driveline and re gear. do it once, Do it right. then if you feel like you want a tune after do it. Keep in mind though I was going from a 31 to a 315/75r16 (34.6 In)
I have a 2" lift running 285s and have never experienced any rubbing on or offroad. I do admit to never driving hard offroad where it might cause serious compression of the suspension tho.
I have 285’s on my 3rd Gen 4Runner and the thing looks like a beast with a 3.5” suspension lift and 1.5” body lift. I see some drone footage going on, are you also doing the flying while wheeling? Another great informative video.
just wanted to let you know i got my 2022 tacoma trd sport on thursday and I am rewatching all these videos to see what i will add on to it
Chloe, awesome video. I am curious, with only lifting the front end, did the suspension settle enough to where the trucks level is even? Or did you have to make some adjustments?
Hey Chole awesome video. I have the same Silver Sky Metallic TRD OR as you with the 4Runner rims. My question is did you also
get the bigger spare tire or is it still the stock spare. I’m thinking of getting Method wheels for my truck so thanks for the video. I have the Fox 2.5 shocks so I’m hoping to not have to cut or do a CMC.
Thanks I like your video on the 265/75/16.
Love rescued trucks awesome work!
Love the info you share, you're so thorough but not overboard, it's relevant and helpful so thank you for that!
This is an old vid and your new ones seem to have better scripts but wanted to say I think you said way too many numbers and caveats in this one - I think I heard "285" close to 30 times in 16 minutes. I would suggest establish the tire sizes and then use more adjectives throughout until it makes sense to throw in the number again. You're also being very careful to state your opinions and "your mileage may vary" type of things - I think we all realize you're a private citizen, just a Taco fan sharing some tips and info, I think there's a level of liability insulation there so you don't need to keep restating obvious things. Of course check with your legal team to find the sweet spot.
Love the Method wheels, and the BFG tires look great.
One thing that jumps out to me in the video is the hood gap at the right fender. I know the truck was hit so maybe that is a result of that damage. Then again maybe a little adjustment could make that look a little better.
Not criticizing, just an observation. Keep doing what you’re doing! Enjoy the content.
I noticed the same... :-) ..... BUT I"M NOT THROWING STONES... The truck looks great.
Yup noticed clear as day. It's too bad they didn't total it and just give her the total worth of the truck for her to get a new one
@@iWubmusic my understanding is she bought the truck as a salvage title, so it was totaled and she repaired the damage to put it back on the road.
If they suit you and they perform where you live that's awesome 👍 but personally, I wouldn't want to go wider than stock, not where I live with the terrain we have and especially not with the lil power that I have... I did go one inch taller though.
Very useful. Thanks
Great info as always.. I’m taking a road trip out to Westcott Designs next month. I have a 23 OR.. Going with Bilstein 6112/5160 and the Westcott preload collar for a total lift of 3” up front. Icon RXT leaf pack in the rear. 22-23 TRD Pro wheels (+4 offset) with 285/75/r16 Toyo AT3’s. Only thing I don’t like is the E rating on the Toyo’s. Not a lot of C load options in a 16” whee”. I think Falken might have one. Either way I really like the Pro Wheels and the Toyo’s so heavy it is. Keep up the great content!
Chloe, watch a video of a semi tire being changed. Big burly mechanics I've known use a crow/pry bar to prop the tire up onto the axle, then use the bar to spin the tire to align the lugs - all while sitting on a mechanic's roller stool. Also, I didn't know Method had that bead 'locking' tech. To be clear, that's a stock TRD Pro suspension with a preload collar alone + zero offset wheels?? I'll look back through your vids for other suspension upgrades on this truck just in case. Thanks so much for giving a clear, articulate rundown on all this stuff - that's the ivy coming out. ;)
Those wheels look great, love the color of them.
Hi Chloe! If u feel less power or worse mpgs with bigger tires try KDMaxPro tune. It's amazing!!!!!
Cool video. Good information. I have a gen 2 trd pro. I've watched a few of your videos. One question I have is what is that jack you are using? looks sweet. I think I want one! lol.
Looks good. I’m running 285 75 16s ridge grapplers on the Pro with westcott front. Is this white Pro owned by you now? Manual transmission help and the KDmax pro tune has it feeling smooth. The grapplers are pretty darn quiet also.
Great video review. Any thoughts from anyone on the elusive 275 tire?
This might have been covered in the 175 comments, if so my apologies. I have basically the same set up, just with AEV salta wheels. Curious how to interpret my stock mpg screen readout. I'm usually showing 20.6 mpgs on 60 mph back roads to work, running about 1500 rpms. When I run interstates at 75 plus mph I get a 16ish mpg readout on screen. My speedo is about 3 mph off so I'm actually going 3 mph faster than displayed speed. That part I have figured out but the mpgs not so much. I feel I'm getting better mileage but haven't yet did the pump fill up math. I'm more interested on how the stock running mpg calculator is gathering it's data. Like, where is it located and how does it work. Great videos Chloe, very inspirational young lady.
Another huge negative is that the larger tires and lift wear down all your suspension components quicker. All bushings and joints will need a replacement sooner. 04 4runner as soon as I lifted it and put 285/70/17 tires., the lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and cv axles started leaking within a month.
Hi Chloe,
I recently bought 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-road.
Waiting for delivery now.
I will wait while watching your channel every day until delivery!
Please tell me one.
I think Tacoma has a TPMS sensor, but how do you deal with TPMS after replacing with method rims and 285 tires?
Please continue to show us fun videos as ever!
I'm about to take delivery of a 2023 TRD Pro & was wondering if those 17" 285's will bolt on with no rub or fitment issues. The TRD Pro is supposed to come from the factory with a 1.5" lift in front & about half of that on the rear. I welcome your thoughts and any comments about such a wheel/tire upgrade. Thx & I really enjoy your vids.👍
I've experienced everything you said plus 3 mph loss. I tracked it with my phone on highway. Still wouldn't trade it in though. I have a 2nd Gen, '13 double cab taco.
I just changed from 265's to 255/85 16 Toyo mt's.
I absolutely love them...but i definitely notice the braking distance is much longer!!
I do a fuel system cleaning every oil change, and tire rotation at the 5K mile mark.
My dealership gave us a lifetime oil change but Toyota recommends that the oil change is every 10K miles, but I still change it every 5K miles, so I have to pay for every other oil change. After I supply the oil and filter the change itself is $40.
Our Toyota dealership uses Mobile 1 full synthetic oil, so that’s what I’ll stay with. I personally prefer Valvoline full synthetic but I don’t like changing oil brands.
Hey Chloe! I am unsure if this has been answered before but I wanted to ask if you might consider tuning your truck. I've been on the fence of tuning my truck due to California requirements for smog. Most folks claim they will pass emissions but my truck hasn't exceed 6k miles yet. Great content!
I have 285/75/16 General grabber on my ‘18 TRD OR. With a tune for 33” and stock gears I’m getting 19.5 mpg but also have rock sliders. Get it tuned and you’ll get the mpg and power back!
Who did you go with for tune?
Great video. Now you just need you an duel sport motorcycle. Kudos 👌
What was your overall truck height measurements prior to and after the tire/wheel change?
I want to get 285s on 17s on my Off-Road, but I want to get the stock lift first (only looking at stock lift because I have a full lifetime warranty on mine). Will that be enough to prevent rubbing on 285/17s?
That’s pretty good MPG with 285’s. I average 20 MPG on my stock 22’ Tacoma TRD Pro.
Chloe, You might consider an OV Tune for your Taco (or both of them). Had my Taco tuned in May of 2021, world of difference. They can also adjust the tune for tire size and gearing if you do that. Not only are you dealing with more mass to get going, you also have to consider the effects on your brakes. I upgraded to PowerStop pads and rotors.
KDMAX PRO WAY BETTER!!!!
@@JuanManuel-fm9jt +1
I had 285s on. Took them off after 2 weeks. Mileage went up 3.5 L per 100km which was brutal. Performed amazing (toyo open country) but can’t validate keeping them for my type of driving. I also have ovtune so mileage went I’m a bit too.
Falken wild peaks are great for off-roading. Quiet on the road and winter rated
Would you try the 265/70r17 (almost 32") on the TRD offroad and compare them to the 285s🤔.
If you had negative offset with a 1.5 inch lift would you rub?? 🤔
Great video, Chloe. Curious as to whether your spare is also a 285, and if so, does it fit in the spare location ok? Also, just ordered some parts from Sparks and used your discount code. Thanks!
285 do not fit from what ive read before(without modification). You have to take a big hammer and bend the metal retainers out some and I think some possible issues with being to close to the exhaust.
Timely video! I get my Tacoma in the next few weeks. For now I'm thinking I'll go with 275's (Falken Wild Peak AT3W in C Load) to have a happy middle ground between on and off-road performance. That and I don't want to do a suspension lift until a little ways down the road. 🤔
I think that’s a great compromise! I have never tried the AT3Ws although I’ve heard great things. Btw, can’t wait for your Tacoma vids!
Are you getting a Pro? Keep in mind the Pro is slightly lifted from the factory. Other factors include wheel width and offset. For non-Pro, 265/70/17 or 265/75/16 are typically the biggest you can get without making other changes.
Same here! Getting a 22 TRP Pro with manual transmission! :)
I have the Falkens in that size on my 4Runner. They're a great tire
I have the 22 trd off road im thinking about changing my rims and tires what will fit without doing a lot of cutting or will I need to do some cutting.
This question is off topic for tires, its about you rebuilding the vehicle. Where you able to find and buy factory painted fenders?
or did you have to have the fenders paint matched, and how did the paint turn out. Any recommendation on getting new fenders, ie: supply source or tips on paint.
I’ve got 285s falken MT01s w/ Taco suspension on my 4th gen 4Runner!
Just got my 22 Tacoma TRD Pro and thinking about changing the tires to BFG K02 but sticking to the stock set up of 265/70/16. I don't want to go 285 because that would mean lift the truck further, change the gearing and tune to accommodate 285? What do you think about just switching up wranglers to BFG at 265, is that worth the switch?
So would you go with the 285 or stick with the 265. I’m looking at upgrading my OR tires. I don’t see my self doing any rock crawling anytime soon. Will be putting a lift on the truck. Most off roading is sand and mud.
It looks so much better. I love the wheels' great choice. If anyone is worried about gas mileage, don't buy a truck or suv.🙃
Hi Chloe, thanks for your videos I love them. Is your lift 3 or 4 inch
How did the 1.5" lift affect the caster? Any floatiness on the highway?
Chloe thanks for the video as im fixing to add 285s on my new Tacoma .
Only issue is...did you notice your lower A Arm bushings are out? Those lower A Arms were all over the place. Just dont want it leave you on the trial
Wild. I’m rubbing with 275/70/17’s lol. Method 316’s and WildPeak at4w’s D: (2.5” Eibach lift)
Good morning Dear Chloe, I like your performance “enthusiasm and very professional In your explanation”, I feel sure with your content.
My question is I have Toyota Tacoma 2021. I want to change for 295 or 305 Al terrain 70/r16 , I believe than I have to leaf 3 inches. And can I use the same suspension.
2) what to you do if this is your truck to looks great, feel comfortable and safe money in the upgrade
Thanks for all your videos - Still going through them and enjoying every one of them! Question: How do you deal with the odometer and speed change effect of the bigger diameter?
Honest answer, I did not do a speedometer calibration. So once I hit highway speeds, I just know my dash reads a few MPH slower than my actual speed.
@@ChloeKuo I guess if you are aware of the speed change and you are keeping it forever it doesn’t really matter. I plan on keeping mine too! Might go for the 285s based on that! Gracias and safe wheeling!
Curious to know what you did with the tires & rims that were on the car. are they in storage or you planning on keeping them. I’m in the market for those 2020 trd pro rims tires setup are you willing to sell them.
Were you able to fit a full sized spare? I recently got some 275/70/17’s and trying to figure out if it’ll fit… also whether I get a matching wheel or some cheepie on the spare 🤔
What about the spare tire? Did you upgrade it to match and if so where do you store it?
Did you end up using the spacer on top from the westcott design or was the preload change good enough??
Rotating and *un-sprung* weight makes a difference in handling, how suspension feels, etc.
GM Chloe n everyone else who liked to comment on, ...
I have an 08 Tacoma Trd Off Road (4×2). I recently did a leveling kit , 2 inch spacer in front n 1 inch rear. I bought TRD Pro wheels (matte blk) but have not purchased tires yet! I use it as a daily w 25 miles to n from work w some street n fwy. Will be purchasing KO2 tires, but aside from 265 70 17, does anyone know if I can fit 285 70 17 KO2 w the current set up lift? I do not any off road ! Thank you for looking into this matter, y'all 🙂
I'm getting 16,5 mpgs on my 2016 access cab with 265 75 r16, only other added weight is 32gallon fuel tank and I don't drive fast.
What about the Vehicle speed sensor? Didn’t the larger tire throw your shift pattern off for the automatic transmission?
I have 285’s as well , thinking of putting mud flaps on mine what’s your opinion? Do the tires rub on turns?
What kind of cover is that on the back? Been lookin at Tri fold covers lately and need help pickin one out
Hrm do I need a lift on my TRD off-road 4x4 stock to upsize the tires? Was planning to keep the stock with winter/snow tires for ski season and swap to a summer pair.
I know it's a year late, but it's worth a shot....Are those TRD Wheels available for sale?
🤞😁
