My apologies, I should turn this video into a drinking game, take a shot for every time i say 'Load Range' Also please take my personal opinions with a grain of salt. The Tundra is a heavy truck so it can compensate well if you do in fact run a E load tire. Its just not as soft as the D is all. You can also find E tires with a lower index of 121-125 providing a softer ride. Generally the higher the weight load capacity of the tire, the more stiff it will ride. Use that as a reference. We all have different purposes for our truck, so go with the tire that best suits you. Thank you for watching, appreciate the support. www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?gclid=Cj0KCQjwjN-SBhCkARIsACsrBz52WT_c-LbSKGO1lZWbUuWwYfMDW-p4UDVEbtnzssLi0zP8KvT2oVgaAhTBEALw_wcB&techid=35&ef_id=Cj0KCQjwjN-SBhCkARIsACsrBz52WT_c-LbSKGO1lZWbUuWwYfMDW-p4UDVEbtnzssLi0zP8KvT2oVgaAhTBEALw_wcB:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3756!3!354820920365!e!!g!!load%20index&gclsrc=aw.ds
How have the tires been wearing for you? How many miles do you have on them so far? I’ve been debating on these vs wildpeaks but they only have load F in 35’s on 18” wheel.
This was such a great video. I reference it around twice a week as people discuss questions about tire strategies. Specifically, wanting to go with 37s. The subject of spares never comes up, and is one of the strong points for me Not going with 37s. They are personally too massive, but the spare situation comes into play as well. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Great job! I’ll bet the 285 75 18’s are super close as well. Half inch taller than the 37 12.5 and only a half inch narrower than the 295’s. Taller and skinnier is a great combo for snow!
Awesome video! I am in the market for wheels and tires for my Tundra and THIS video makes it is so easy to make my decision now. Thank you for taking the time and work to show us, much appreciated!! 👍👍
Cool tire to consider is Milestar Patagonia MT02(02 Is the new harder/ higher mileage versions) the 315/70/17 weighs like 60 lbs but its only C rated. If your not hauling or running sharp rocks they do fine. And yha I know the Tundras are 18" wheels just throwing out the weights on Patagonias are a little less due to appealing to Jeep crowd but they are great ive had 38" for 3 years on my '84 K30 ride great do great off road.
If you want the height to be closer just keep more air in it. In my old tundra on the road I would run 44 psi. And they were great. I'm also in WA and drive a FJ cruiser now. But have owned a total of 4 tundras bought my first one in 2000. My FJ is running toyo at2'swith fuel shok gun metal grey rims. The tires I just went with a 6 ply. For it.
FYI, check the fit of your spare on your front end, I think you will find that the tire will contact the upper A arm on the front, but please check to be sure. A friend of mine has a 21 Tundra and his truck came with 285/75R18 tires on the factory wheels. He only had less than 1/4 inch clearance from the tire sidewall and the upper A arm. I sell tires and I advised him against 295/70R18 because of the clearance issue and I sold him 275/70R18. It appears that your aluminum wheels have more offset than stock, but your spare looks to have a lot of positive offset.
Very nice video. Thanks for doing that. Would a 305/70/18 fit under there? Nitro’s Recon Grappler comes in a D Load Range in 305/70/18. Seriously debating that tire for my 23 Tundra TRD PRO…..
Hey, how much more room did you have for your spare on the bottom? The tire I'm going with is the 295/65/20 which is about 1/2 inch taller and was wondering if you had that much leeway?
Nice video I got my 23 tundra TRD Off road hybrid but i don't like stock tires what is the biggest size (or specs) I can use on stock/factory wheels please suggest
What level do you have on your Tundra? 1.75 or 2”? Also do you get any rub with your 35’s? If so, in your opinion will the 295/70/18 fit better without rubbing and additional lift? Thank you 🙏🏽
@@BillyOnroad thank you 🙏🏽 I bought my 2022 with 1k miles on it and it came with leveling spacers on front. Back has AVS air suspension. I think the factory leveling spacers are 1.75? From center of axel to bottom of fender I am measuring 24.5? Seems like 35’s should be okay? I’m perfectly okay with 295/70/18 to replace my 285/65/18 KO’s with Toyo’s. Your thoughts? I don’t want to compromise ride quality nor modify anymore than front spacers?
@@ryanbrand2562 There are no factory front leveling spacer, its probably an after market Rough Country 1.75 inch front level. 35s would fit if you decided to go that route. 295s would also work. It'll ride a bit stiffer no matter what. Toyo only makes 295 in a load E. You'll feel the bumps more than you would with the 35s. 35s provide more cushion and is a bit softer tire compound in a load D.
Very helpful question? Can I fit a 35x70x18 toyo at111 tire on My jeep sahara with 1.5 spacers? Will it require spacer?? Thank you.i have a 2.5 leveling kit on front with a 2.25 in the rear
I run 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grappler's on my 2021 TRD Pro double cab. The reason I did that is my buddy has a 2019 TRD Pro with 35's on his, and the weight difference between my tire and his tire (12 more lbs per tire) absolutely kill his mpg. He averages around 13 city and 15-16 highway. I am able to get 14.8-15.2 city and 17-17.5 highway consistently with my size of Nittos. Essentially the 4.30 rear end on the Tundra manages the extra weight up to 34.5 inch tire without impacting fuel economy dramatically, but the second you get to that 35 inch tire putting the weight up to 284 lbs...it struggles. The new Tundra with the 3.31 rear....way worse. Plus, you are running those turbos all the time to get the power needed to turn those big tires which means early burn out.
Great video! Seems you have a lot of experience. I have a 21 silverado z71 leveled with bilstein 5100s im running nitto ridge grapplers 295/70/18. Truck is running extremely rough especially since i went from 33s to these larger tires. Any advice you can give me on how to get a bit more comfort? Im considering switching to the fox leveling shocks from the bilsteins. Thanks in advance!
What wheels are those? KMC 535 grenade? That’s what I put on my 2008 tundra with 295 55 20 Toyo open country AT3’s. The tires look great but they’re kind of loud from what I’m used to. What pressure do you think would be best for a quiet ride? I have about 500 LBS of tools in the truck. So far I have 50psi in them. Thoughts?
Kmc grs 549. There is a slight hum over 60 mph but its not too bad since i usually have the radio on. My ko2s were a little quieter.. but they had some issues in the rain so thats why i wanted to try something new. I think 45-50 is probably your sweet spot with that much weight in the back.
I don't think your comment on Toyo being smaller than Nitto is true. They are the same company, and if you compare tire specifications on they are vritually the same.
I like the level across the top or the two tires but how do you know that your garage floor is not the reason for the 1/4 difference? Need to show that the floor is level before comparing the tire heights.
I have a 2021 Toyota Sequoia lifted 2.5 inch and a frontrunner rack w gear when overlanding. Towing a boat on occasion. I just ordered 18x9 +20 offset and toyo at3s 35x12.5x18 and its F2 rated. Other option was D. Question is. Do you think thia is ok for overlanding and occasional #offroad? Majority I'll be highway and city with weekend warrior attitude
It'll be fine for overlanding. Its a super strong tire being F rated so it'll hold up great. Might be a tad stiff is all. But not a big deal. D rated would of been a softer ride is all.
@@BillyOnroad softer ride would of been cheaper and better for me, but didnt know until later about this. The salesman at Discount tire sold me the F rated.
@@overlandersnorthwest probably because the F was in stock lol. They have to make commission some how.. Discount Tire had to piece together a set for me. 1 was in Ohio, Kansas, Oregon etc. Took about 2+ weeks for me to get a set of 4 in the load range D. The Sequoia is a heavy rig, and with all your gear it might not be all that bad. Its only when going over bumps etc will you feel the difference and appreciate the softer tire. The tradeoff is you pretty much have an invincible tire and won't get any flats with the F rated lol.
Stock tires are always going to be more comfortable. However when it comes to durability and strength. That is where the aftermarket tires always win. These Toyos are going to hold up much better offroad and will be more resistant to punctures or flats. You do give up a little bit of comfort over the stock michelins thats for sure. Its a tradeoff im willing to accept. Street tires will wear out pretty quick offroad.
For all terrain Toyo shits on Michelin in every category. The Toyo AT3 is the best all around AT tire along with the Falken Wildpeak. Does Michelin even make an AT lol?

That is by far the best explanation on tires load capacities and heights! Well done!
Thank you!
This is a really well-done comparison. A lot of people really brush over options like this to really fine tune the tool you might need.

Thank you for this video. We needed this. I would also add that the 295/70r18 will always be cheaper than 35s. 35s are a SCAM!

Was there any Rub on 295/70/18 near the wheel well?
So I ordered 18” wheels with 275/70r-18/10. Did I do a mistake? For my 2022 tundra platinum
Wonder if a 305 would have been more comparable?
305/70/18 is closer to a 35, so is 285/75/18 but a bit narrower then 295 obviously.
