Hello! Posted this info in a different thread but thought more folks may be interested in the subject of tire and wheel sizing. Here is video that has definitely influenced me and my individual use case on the subject. Look forward to hearing how this may influence folks here in their wheel/tire upgrade choices.

Saw that same thing. Why I'm probably sticking 265/70/18 with the AT4Ws. Actual 33" diameter tire and I won't have to modify anything or have an issue fitting a full spare. Don't see any need for any wider, for my preference.

Same here. The only downside to sticking with 265 is the options available. Going to a 275 opens things up a bit but then not sure sticking a 275 on an 8” wide wheel is advisable. Would likely have to move to 8.5” or 9” width.

I’m running 255/75R17 on my Taco, I’m swapping my tires/wheels either the 18” that will be on the 4R if the dealer can ever get one. I wanted to go with 255/80R17, but could only find them in 10 ply and I was too scared of a harsh ride.
