    2016 Gunmetal Grey Tundra SR5 with TSS Off Road
    None. Just bought the truck
    This is my first post ever after joining the Forum earlier this week. After reading many threads, the information out there is awesome.
    Last week, our family purchased a pre owned 2016 Tundra SR5 2 wheel drive that has the TSS Off Road sticker displayed on the bed. It also has the SR5 upgrade package. We live in Illinois but flew down to Dallas, Tx to purchase the vehicle at Sewell Lexus there (less expensive than the Midwest and NO SALT!) We wanted to find out as much as possible on it just out of curiosity and wanted to know what exactly comes with this TSS package. One curious note is that the vehicle has the black 20" wheels and has relatively new Toyo A/T tires, Open Country Extreme LT285/55R20. I looked underneath the Tundra and the spare tire is a Bridgestone Dueler HT mounted on an 18" steel wheel. Looks original. Did the previous owner take it upon himself to upgrade to new 20" OEM rims. I can send a picture of the rims if you guys need me to but can't do that until tomorrow when I get off shift at the firehouse. We actually like the look of the rims and tires but on the 950 mile drive back home, we found that the ride was too harsh and we need to soften it up a bit. Going to install 18" tires and rims in a couple weeks. We will only use this Tundra for towing our 8000 pound boat. I use our other Tundra (2007 SR5 regular cab) for my remodeling business.

    The TSS package is gulf states toyota appearance package,

    TSS 20 inch wheels,
    Side steps
    TSS decal on the bed.

    SR5 upgrade is the front bucket seats with console and console shifter and 38 gallon tank.

    Thats it, nothing special.

    Welcome from NY.

    The TSS package is just a appearance package that the Gulf States do. Rims, tires, decals sometimes interior TSS emblems and running boards. Go to the Toyota website and type in your VIN# to see exactly what you have.

    Post a pic of the wheels. I think if it came factory with 20” wheels, then the spare would be 20” also. I don’t know of any tundras that came with toyo tires. I’ve heard 18” wheels help with ride as there is more rubber on the sidewalk, but part of it is the LT you currently have too.

    I echo what others have said. The TSS package add 20" black wheels. I think most Tundra came with 18" spare even if equipped with 20". My Platinum model came with 20s but has the plain steel 18" spare. The LT tires do make the ride a little more harsh. Maybe try playing with the tire pressure. But yes changing to 18" will help

    None. Just bought the truck
    Much appreciated. As for a picture of the tires on my truck, I can't take one right now but they are identical to the rims on the truck that RLHOK posted. Also, about 15 minutes ago, a light bulb went off above my head. Why don't I just look at the Tire And Loading Information sticker that was put on the drivers side door jamb from Toyota at the factory! Sure enough, it states the original tire size was LT285/55R20. And to confirm the comments about the spare tire from timsp8 and jalam321, the sticker has the spare tire size at P255/70R18. Thanks so much for the quick help gentleman!! By the way, Jim LE 1301, those rims are also like mine but in the picture, they look gunmetal in color. ROCKIN' WICKED look! Did you have them powder coated?

    Oh and by the way, when I get the new 18" rims and tires, I will be selling the 20" rims (in excellent condition) and the 20" Toyo AT's (between 12/32" and 13/32" tread depth left. Brand new is 15/32") What is the name of these rims that most people call them so I can include that name in the listing?

    I’m a bit late to the party and everything has been addressed but I thought I’d add in a screen snap of the specs for the SR5 upgrade package as well. The TSS package only adds the running boards, bed lights, blacked out badging and exhaust tip (on my particular truck), the wheels and tires and decals.

    Yes, I had them powder coated MGM to match the truck. Put black covers on the lug nuts and left the center cap black but painted the center logo MGM.

    They are just TSS wheels but are made by Ultra wheels.
    Just a heads up you need 50 posts.
