What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Lookin good brother!

 

For whoever is looking for tires with a 3PMSF good in the wet here’s a list for you

https://www.tundras.com/threads/3pmsf-three-peak-mountain-snowflake-tire-list.109521/

 

Thanks for the post... But, just a heads up, the 3pmsf is a designation for "extreme winter conditions" and have been tested and proven to handle extreme snow and winter mud conditions much better than a traditional M + S rated tire. However, this rating is not indicative of extreme or heavy "wet" paved road conditions such as you'd find in a heavy rainfall or semi-flooded roadways.

A prime example of this is the BGF KO2s which carries the 3pmsf rating and is known for its sticky off road prowess and performance in mud/snow. However, this tire is well known to have poor performance in paved wet/heavy rain conditions.

 

I did 295s and I think they are perfect but i did do wheels as well which changed the offset. the pro wheels might require a spacer

 

Thanks bro!!!

I’m running 37x12.50r18. Bilstein 5100 all corners at top clip.

 

+1 on this. I have run these for a couple years on my 2016 Tundra CM (in 295 / 70 R18s) and have been very pleased so far. They're also one of the lightest weight E load rated tires I could find. I run KO2s on my Toyota Pickup and Taco and agree the wet performance isn't so great...although I think they are the best looking tires.

 

I was following this thread https://www.tundras.com/threads/cooper-at3-xlt.29056/ when I bought mine 15 months ago. Just cruzng the first few pages there are some posts about wet handling.

Unsolicited review: I can't say that I've noticed any loss of wet traction over the factory Michelins. Overall I've been really pleased, I have had to deal with 2 rebalances and the flat spotting issue that is mentioned by others but it wouldn't prevent me from buying another set.

 

Do you have a Stock suspension? Lift?

 

I have the TRD Pro Fox suspension with CB 0.25 spacers in the front (2.5" of lift) and 1.5" shackles in the rear. I also run BORA 1" wheels spacers:

 

got the set of wheels/tires from @dpast88 and immediately got to work, best wheels for Tundras IMO.

 

Looks nice like that well done.

 

Can't wait to see them mounted!

 

Thanks! I love the black wheels with silver ring look, but just couldn't find the right spec wheels that offer that look, so had to DIY.

 

What a great idea! Cannot wait to see end result

 

Thanks! I am waiting to get it clear coated and then picking the mud terrains up to mount on them.

 

I was going to mention a clear coat. Sweet.

 

Haha, yea, just trying to do the right thing, however, I am going to be spraying over the bolts, cuz they are a paint to be removed and put back on lol

 

balls of steel right there. i would never buy a set of expensive wheels and then sand off the coating. they look awesome

 

Haha 2nd this. It's why I follow this thread. Let somebody else do it first.

 

haha this is not my first rodeo and it is very exciting to be trail blazing.

 

Thanks for that link. I'm gonna spend some time there...

 

Just got a call from the old man and he's picked his truck up from the shop. Additions added are solid motor mounts, triple bypasses up front (copy cat) cam phaser mod and full suspension rebuild. Parts awaiting arrival for him are new custom deaver pack and rear triple bypass setup. Motor mounts he said cant really tell other than at idle with the ac on you get feed back in the frame but once rolling nothing.

Curious to see the power/feel difference of the cam phaser mod. Not entirely sure what it even is but he plans on sending me a 0-60 time and I plan on doing the same to compare and contrast. If you're in Cali or west coast Joseph at Bajerex he's awesome.

 

You can't tease like that and not send a full on shot of the truck!

 

lol I immediately thought that. My bad

 

Do you have any more pics of your truck?
I have basically the same setup and am debating adding spacers.

 

Love the bronze and black. Are they hitting the marketplace soon?

And nice work on the new ones too!

 

Thanks! Nah. They were sold last year already. I sure miss them.

 

niiiiice!
