Hi All,
I'm currently running P285/70R17 (32.8'') (Toyo Open Country AT2) on a 2006 Tundra Double Cab with a fully optioned Hawk (1440 lbs dry). I would like to replace my existing tires with E rated tires for some upcoming trips.
My initial though was to replace with E rated tires of the same size but for overall efficiency and power, I'm thinking about down sizing to 265/70R17 (31.5'') on an already somewhat underpowered, heavy double cab truck.
The difference is between 265/70R17 and 285/70R17 is 3.9% in diameter and 7 lbs of rotation mass per tire.
I due intend to take more trips offroad but most of my driving will still be on pavement. Downsizing would be more expensive as I have to replace my spare tire as well.
I can't seem to make up my mind so your feedback is appreciated .
For 1st gen Tundra (especially those with Double Cabs) pop up camper owners:
1 What size tire do you run?
2. How are they performing?
Thanks,
Jim
