Yes, BUT, there is an OEM-safe margin above the wheels/tires specced on a factory SR5. For example, going up to a 32.6” diameter tire that matches the higher off road trims seems pretty darn safe.

$400 _savings_ in gas? or $400 total cost of gas monthly? To save $5k in a year by switching, you'd need to _save_ $417/mo on gas from the increased fuel efficiency

How long will it take you to make back the depreciation hit on the fuel savings?
