What to Expect When You Upgrade to 285 Tires on your Tacoma

[@PNWXMATT]

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!

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.

[@davewise623]

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

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.

[@gogoydollaga3607]

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

[@sucha603boy]

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

[@mattlewandowski73]

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

[@sucha603boy]

@@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.

[@richardc.3513]

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.

[@devildoc6749]

Glad to see that you were able to find a new project to work on with your video's. I just recently switched my Falken Wildpeaks to Open Range all terrain. I figured a set of tires for 65 thousand miles is not a bad deal. I would have loved the 33 in or the 285 size, but deep down, couldn't justify a look on a truck versus the money going into the gas tank just because the tires size change. I wanted a beefy look, but deep down, didn't want to sacrifice the hard earned money to constant stop at the gas pump. I do like the new generation 4 runner, but deep down, I had an opportunity a year ago to snag a 2020 TRD Pro 4 runner, but decided to hold off. Appreciate all the video's.

[@jaranus597]

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.

[@JC-wz9mc]

What are MPG are you getting with 285’s?

[@jaranus597]

@@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.

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!

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

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.

[@oPiggySue]

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.

[@mattlewandowski73]

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.

[@patdennis3751]

Mine have never rubbed at all with a 2" lift.

[@LeanBackMac]

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)

[@patdennis3751]

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.

[@Roostsandboost]

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!

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.

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.

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

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.

[@myvids4329]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I know it's a year late, but it's worth a shot....Are those TRD Wheels available for sale? 🤞😁

[@WavyCarlos]

If I have a ott tune and plan on getting bigger wheels should I do the spicy version or the normal one

[@billhenderson8340]

Hi Chloe, thanks for your videos I love them. Is your lift 3 or 4 inch

[@ed-ou812]

Love the stance Chloe!! Looks great!

[@jorgepadua5802]

Where's 1:22 at? I love driving around San Diego but want to drive in places like that.

[@thecleaningfactoryinc.6077]

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

[@chromedd6659]

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

[@alex2318garcia]

Hi Chloe! If u feel less power or worse mpgs with bigger tires try KDMaxPro tune. It's amazing!!!!!

[@notapie-ro8186]

That’s pretty good MPG with 285’s. I average 20 MPG on my stock 22’ Tacoma TRD Pro.

[@michaelm4514]

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.

[@Texian78]

Chloe, I noticed your dash gauges showed 344 miles to empty. I have the same tacoma, but with a 6' bed. How are you getting that many miles on a tank of gas? Did you get a tune installed? If so, do you contribute the increase in gas mileage to the tune? Great vids. Thanks!

[@terrencevroker6649]

Thanks I like your video on the 265/75/16.

[@mfalescoolidge]

Those tires look amazing

[@soccertl]

Those wheels look great, love the color of them.

[@jimcatanzaro7808]

30 psi cold is a good tire pressure as they warm up they will get up to 34

[@willisgoodger1875]

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.

[@mercurials54]

I’ve got 285s falken MT01s w/ Taco suspension on my 4th gen 4Runner!

[@derekp6636]

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.

[@fugglesme4186]

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.

[@THEBIGCHULETA]

We should start an organization to salvage Tacomas. Call it ‘The Save a taco Foundation’. I’d be all about that.

[@jomelguererro3761]

Hi Chloe, I have Toyota Tacoma 2021 off road, I replace my tire 285x 70xr17, and also I put levelling kit, my problem every time I park my taco ,I can hear sound, but there is no rubbings don't know were sound coming from. I hope you can give me idea,.

[@bizzboyht6196]

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.

[@natertots17]

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 🤔

[@randomrebuilds]

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?

[@franciscosarcibaljr825]

Do you run a tune on your truck if so what is it or do you recommend it thank you?

[@roachroacharito9113]

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.👍

[@williammartin5688]

How did you fix your transmission? I had transmission problems on my tacoma and the dealer acted dumb so I had to buy a new tacoma.

[@midlifeflow]

If you had kept the factory TRD wheels do think there would have been rubbing? With similar size tire.

[@legion1630]

Congrats with Method wheels

[@chipsterb4946]

Rotating and *un-sprung* weight makes a difference in handling, how suspension feels, etc.

[@mightyd-max3717]

Do the tires rub at all when off-roading

[@op-bi5rs]

Westcott design lift kit with 285 no rubbing?

[@juanvillicana8973]

In your video, at 8:32 is that normal for that much play on your control arms?

[@MustafarRecRoom]

Tire hum is soothing...

[@belliott4213]

Nice info. Thanks for sharing.
