What Should I expect with this change - Advice please

I am picking up a new 2022 Tundra tomorrow. I am considering a switch in tires immediately. Reason - I like the better look of a bigger tire and I want to sit a bit higher overall. No lift No leveling and no change in rim size. What will change in terms of
- MPG,
- Ride Feel/Comfort
- Noise

I will have no reference points as I will not be driving on the new tires if I make the switch immediately

Stock tire Wild Peak AT. - LT 265-60-20 E- 10PLY diameter 32.5, width 10.2 max load 3195, weight 58.2lbs, Revs/Mile 640

New Tire Yokohoma geolander AT GO15. LT 295/60/20 E-10ply Diameter 34.2, width 11.6, max load 3750, Weight 59.7 Revs/mile 607

Stock tire -


New tire

 

Likely all of those will change. Especially if you're getting E load rated tires (I can't read your embedded info).

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand possibly your speedo will be off (read lower than actual). This is just speculation as I don't know the tech of the new '22's. If it is the same as the previous years you can adjust/recalibrate your speedo through the Techstream software (often easier said than done). While the dealer is all hot and sweaty with the sale get them to agree to Techstream recalibrate your speedo for the larger tires.

 

Well as you said nothing will change to you.

It is all in your point of view and yours is fresh so......

 

Sorry didnt realize the data would be embedded. Here are the specs

Stock tire - LT 265-60-20 E- 10PLY diameter 32.5, width 10.2 max load 3195, weight 58.2lbs, Revs/Mile 640

New Tire - LT 295/60/20 E-10ply Diameter 34.2, width 11.6, max load 3750, Weight 59.7 Revs/mile 607

 

I have a hard time believing Toyota is putting 58-lb LT tires on a Tundra from the factory. I would think it’s more likely there’s a 40-lb P-rated version of the Wildpeak they’re using. Which means the jump to an LT295 is going to be more drastic.

 

I would recommend only going up one size unless you are planning to regear it. You may also need to modify some body panels with the 34's so be prepared to possibly hack up a brand new truck. YMMV.

 

You will most likely see a small decrease is mpgs. As far as the sizes, when a tire manufacturer list specs, those are unmounted and uninflated. The 295 will be just over 33.5 when mounted and it has vehicle weight on it.

 

I have the TRD off road package which is changed the tire from the stock tire they would have had without the package. Would that change your thought on it

MPG’s will get worse with a larger heavier tire. Ride comfort and noise may get better or worse depending. But those are relative if you’ve never driven on the stock tires, you won’t notice the difference.

 

Many new owners have gone with the 295/60/20. No lift no Leveling and have had no rub at all.

 

I'll quietly step out then, did not know this. Good luck with your new truck!

 

Thank you Sir. I appreciate your thoughts. There is no way I am regearing it so maybe I should reconsider going with a much larger tire

 

They’re not listed as LTs on Toyota’s site (it just says 265/60R20), but I can’t find a non-LT version of the wildpeak in that size. So I don’t know. Would love to see what it says on your stock tires.
