GEN 3 (2022+) Wheels and Tires Photo thread

Love the Advans RGD2. I was considering advans in bronze metallic but they only have one size for bolt pattern 6x139.7 and it's too much poke for me with -10 offset. Would love to see it in a 18x9 and positive offset like +10. Love the concaveness of advans, way more then my Gramlights 57DRX. Advans are superlight at like 21lbs.

 

FN BFD are 18x9, +20, with correct hub size. Also just a hair over 22.5 lbs

 

Just looks like a rep of my gram lights but with correct bore size.

 

What does the center cap look like?

 

I don't know which came first, but the BFDs have been around since about 2013.

I don't honestly know. I inspected the wheels to make sure there were no visible flaws and then put them in storage. I won't be mounting tires on them until next Spring. I didn't even open the box with the center caps. If I can finagle it, I'll just reuse the Toyota center caps.

 

wow thats a first for me, someone using my post to make a major purchase. glad it all worked out for you.

you wouldnt happen to be the person that posted in the wheel thread about color wheels changing your outlook on wheels when i posted those way back when???

edit: nope it was someone else "urmomspad" was the person back on page 91/92 of this thread

 

2023 Tundra Limited TRD offroad with 1.75 rough country level. No rubbing on UCA, torque bar or mud flaps. The level kit raised the front end 3 inches.

before stock falken wildpeak 265/60/20
after toyo open country at 295/60/20

 

Question guys and ladies. Has anyone ever run a rough country 4 or 6 inch lift with an 18 inch wheel.
I have 18x9 with +20 offset
RC recommends a 20 inch wheel with a +20 offset but when I call them and ask about using an 18 they said they never tried it and just recommend the 20 to be safe.
Obviously I don’t want to buy new wheels if I don’t need to.
If you did run an 18 what was the offset.
Thanks for any help !!!

 

Fellas, I tried to search this thread but couldn't find much, but what is the typical mpg for 37s on Hybrid?

 

Just ordered 305/65/18 Toyo at3 are these gonn fit on my trd pro? Thanks

 

I run 305/70/18 so a little bigger then yours on 18x9 with +20 offset and I had to remove front mud flaps it rubbed.
My specs
Diameter 34.8
Sec width 12.2
Tread 9.75

 

Getting them installed at the end of the Month, will update as soon as I get them on.

 

2023 Limited TRD OR
SCS F5 18x9 +12 Matte Jet Black
Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT 295/70r18

Stock suspension , going back and forth between the RC 1.75” or Westcott 3/1. Little bit of rub on the mudflaps (removed), clears everything else. Not too bad as far as poke. Kinda liking the look. Might wait a little bit before adding the leveling kit.

 

I have the Toyo AT3 in 295/70r/18 on my SR5 OR. Fuel Vectors +19. I went with the Dobinson 2/1. I love the ride. I do have a little mud flap rub.

 

12-13 city and 14-17 highway for my 37s

 

Been reading the wheels and tires photo thread but I can’t seem to figure it all out.

so I have a 2023 platinum coming and have it coming with a ready lift lvl kits that gives me a 3” front and 1”in the rear. I’m trying to figure out what to roll with size wise and plan on using the stock platinum rims because I live the look of them. But only seem to find numbers pertaining to after market rims with 17s or18s…

to many numbers for my simple brain to handlehelp lol.

 

I'd go with 295/65/20. Essentially 35s but less width than the 12.5 so it won't rub on your UCAs using your stock platinum wheels.

 

do you have sliders? I can’t tell, or electric step?

 

Hey guys and gals I found this tire by accident when I was looking at some tire specs.

Most 35x12.5 or 295/65/ 305/70s are all 67 to 74 lbs.
This tire the 315 is basically same size as a 35/12.5 with a little more diameter. 34.88 to 34.5 but here’s the thing look at the Weight!!!!!
That’s 10 to 15 lbs lighter on rotating weight thats huge.
What Nitto did was made this a 6 ply tire instead of the usual 10 to 12 ply. For the average truck that doesn’t tow a ton or haul a ton of weight this is all you need.

I put them on. I did have to remove the front mud flaps and Velcro back the felt liner in the front/rear as it barely touched on a 20x9 +1 wheel. If I went with +18 offset it prob would have cleared but I wanted a little poke.
I drove her today and picked up 2.4 mpg on average I was shocked it could make that much of a difference. 16.4 to 18.8 and I drive in sport mode!
Just passing this tire option on to others.
Nitto Recon Grappler 315/60/20

 

Specs on my truck for those wondering
2022 Tundra TRD package
Ready lift 3/1
Fuel Rebel 6 20x9+1 wheel
Nitto Recon Grappler 315/60/20
Tires look amazing on the truck I really like the set-up
My poke is basically the first tread block so approx 1 to 1.5 inch luv it. Nice poke but not too much.

 

Thinking about the KO2's myself. Got a shot from the side, looking for a bit of poke.

 

weight makes a huge difference, that plus tread design and width. Would love to find a ultra light set of 35x11.5x20 tires to run on my factory wheels for town/ highway use

 

Dexter so true. My mileage went up a little more I’m around 18.8 now so almost picked up 3mpg I still can’t believe that. What I found out was it’s not so much the weight yes it helps but also the compound. Per Nitto it’s a harder compound hence if u look at tread depth it’s 14.0 but the same size tire and brand with the E load rating is 16/32 tread depth. The reason the heavier tire has more tread depth is because it’s a softer compound but yet both tires carry a 65000 mile warranty. Per Nitto they will wear about the same.
So the lighter weight and harder compound tire both add up to my almost 3 mpg pickup.
Def know it’s the tires because I picked up the mpg immediately after the tire install and my old tire were the same diameter so it’s not a rearend gear thing.
I luv these tires and they look the exact same as the heavier E load range tires in the same size. Nitto Recon Grapplers
One additional plus is they ride smoother again as we know the heavier duty the tire the harder it’s going to ride that’s an obvious one as the side wall gets thicker and stiffer and I went from an 18 to a 20 inch rim so less sidewall but still rides smoother over bumps.

 

One thing to consider, not necessarily towards the Ridge Reckon model, but I’ve had other Nittos start to crack. These tires only serve as highway street duties, YMMV. The tires I’m referring to are NT420. They are probably different compounds as well.

from that experience I’ve been a bit hesitant to purchase another Nitto tire.

 

Thanks for the tip
I only have experience with the Recon or Ridge Grapplers.
They have both been a huge success for Nitto. The Ridge is prob the number 1 tire in Texas. There on prob 80% of the trucks I look at.
I went with the Recon Grappler AT model over the Ridge Hybrid Grappler only because my truck is all street driving. The Recon Grappler and Ridge Grappler are very similar but the Ridge is def more aggresive tread pattern.

 

After 4 months with these tires, what are you seeing for MPG?

 

67 Chevelle
Lost about 2 mpg on 295/70/18 with
Cooper AT3 XLT

 

The Nittos are also terrible in cold/icy/wet conditions. This is pretty important for those of us that don't live in AZ or southern CA.

 

I understand your frustration. I can only speak from my experience and my Nittos work very well in the rain. Ice I have no idea. So many diff factors can contribute to poor experiences with any tire. When I lived in Chicago I don’t think any tire worked on ice but again that’s just me.

Our trucks have wide heavy tires and tons of rolling resistance. Three things that would make any tire poor on ice.
No excuses. For me I love my Nittos and like I mentioned here in Texas The Ridge Grappler is the most popular.
