Why go with 17" wheels over factory 18" wheels?

um ???

how does the SL load rating vs a C load rating have anything to do with traction?
Basically just dont want to get SL’s, and dont want E’s, so been riding shitty highways everywhere… very anecdotal but I was just chiming in on how annoying shopping for 18s is compared to 17

Hey Zach - still waiting on parts to get in but the upgrade includes Westcott Preload kit. I’ve gone ahead and re-pinned the liner up front and did the ARK Crash Bracket Delete to prep. I’ll let you know once everything is in place but I’m hoping to avoid rub issues.
Awesome. Thanks man!

i am the opposite. only run SL tires on the tundra and the 4R. cant really justify the cost of C/E load tires since we maybe might do 1% of total driving off road to need it.
did try duratrac's (RT) in SL on the 2018 and 2023 tundra but now after having them on the 23 tundra, they are just not worth it after 20k miles / 2yrs. they are too loud and have gotten completely useless in snow. going to be switching over to defender ltx ms2 on the 4R and tundra when i can.

even the wife has complained about how crappy the tundra is in snow with the duratrac's which she didnt complain when they were ont he 2018 tundra.
