Thanks for the tip on rebalancing.I have the same Toyo 275 E-load tires in 17in and really like them, but I didnβt get a 5th spare. How manageable is it to replace the spare and does it look weird at all when mounted? Just curious.
As a sidenote (from both experience and speaking with Toyota tech) these E loads need balancing more often. Iβve already put over 5k miles on them but needed a balance at 4k miles.
What PSI are you using ?
We had these same Toyo's for 5+ years on our 2020 Ranger in E-load LT265/70 R17. Traded our Ranger in for our 2026 ORP. Win!
Our ORP came with four optional black 18" wheels (PIO) and a full-sized spare that had the original 18" silver ring wheel. I won't do 5-tire rotations and left the mismatched spare wheel, but the tires all match.
Replacing the spare tire is easy... for Discount Tire! I lowered the spare onto my creeper dolly, rolled it out, then put it inside the cargo area so DT didn't have to lower & raise it. I rechecked the pressure, then reinstalled the spare myself. The chain hoist is smooth and easy to use. I found that while nearing the top, need to rock & wiggle the spare around to make sure it's fully seated in the forward brackets.
Several here have 285 spares. Our LT275/70 R18 spare looks to be the max size to fit up in there.
