GEN 3 (2022+) Wheels and Tires Photo thread

It's the first line in the post, but...

"Factory installed lift. FN 18" BFD Wheels in Graphite Gunmetalic and Toyo Open Country RT Trail 35x12.50R18's"

And thanks for the compliment!

 

Your truck looks terrific Dan. Thank you!

 

Added FN 17" Six Shooters (+25) and Cooper AT3 XLT's in 285/70/17. Another shout out to Dustin with FN for great customer service and a great product!

 

Picked up a 2024 TRDOR long boi a couple weeks ago and was looking to update the tires without being too intrusive on the stock components. Fit 285/65/R20 on the stock TRD wheels and suspension. Removed the front mud flaps, didn't pin the liner yet- full lock pics included as a reference.. May level at a future date, but happy with the fit in the meantime!

 

Looks great. What differences do you notice? How far did your MPG drop?

 

Thanks! It's only been a few days so no major differences to note in MPG yet but expecting some drop. I've noticed some differences in braking distance (small increase) but have been pleased with the ride side far on road running them @40psi - I'm familiar with K02s as I've had a set on my other 4runner for the last ~50k mi. I was hoping to try the K03s this time around, but Belle Tire had a sale going on for mothers day at 20% off and didn't have the K03s in this size.

 

I only have a 2" lift but I've never even thought about the Jack. Gonna pull it out and give her a try...
My typical method of jacking is to call road-side assistance as I'm covered -why not use it?

 

I'm seeing a lot of "AT3s" in this thread. A lot without naming a tire brand. I've found Coopers, Generals, Toyos. Just curious -but is there an assumption that "AT3" means a specific brand?

 

Given that most new Tundra's come from the factory equipped with Falken Wildpeak AT3's, it's a pretty safe bet that most references on this form to AT3 are to the Falken Wildpeak tire.

 

Thank you @TimWelds ! I'm glad you're happy! Your Tundra came out great. Your exact setup is what I envisioned a lot of customers going with when we designed the Five Stars and Six Shooters - downsizing from 20" to 17" wheels with slightly larger tires at factory ride height to get more sidewall, fill in the wheels better, keep the weight down, improve ride quality, and improve capability and durability offroad.

Most of the tire manufacturers started out with an "A/T" tire years ago and then progressed to the point that they're on their third (or even fourth) incarnation now, i.e. AT, AT2, AT3, etc. So you're right, AT3 could refer to any number of tires from any number of manufacturers.

For example, I have Toyo Open Country A/T III tires on my truck, but as @TimWelds mentioned above, he has Cooper AT3 XLT's on his Tundra. A lot of Tundra owners have Falken A/T3W tires (often shortened to Falken AT3's).

For clarity and comparison purposes it would be great if everyone would write out the entire name of the tire with their post, but I've found that if you zoom in on the pictures you can usually read the manufacturer from the sidewall to figure out which "AT3" is on a particular truck.

I've had a fair amount of experience with all the different "AT3" tires. My preferences when it comes to tires with AT3 or A/T-III in the name would be the Cooper Discover AT3 (in either the 4S, LT, or XLT versions) or Toyo Open Country A/T III.

• The Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires are great tires if you want an all terrain tire but prefer a tire that isn't super aggressive. My experiences with Cooper's quality have been very good. They balance out well, their tread wear ratings are pretty accurate, and typically the quality to price ratio is excellent (i.e. they are relatively inexpensive).

• The Toyo Open Country A/T III is a good all terrain tire if you want something a little more aggressive than the Cooper AT3. In my opinion Toyo's quality is second to none. The Toyo all terrain tires have always balanced out with a minimal amount of additional wheel weights required, the ride is smooth on road, and the tires perform reasonably well offroad.

• The Falken A/T3W's are considered extremely aggressive as far as all terrain tires are concerned. I would almost classify the A/T3W as a hybrid all terrain / maximum traction (mud) tire. They can be a little more difficult to balance, they tend to wear a little more rapidly and unevenly, but they offer excellent off road performance. Also, I frequently advise customers to look at the dimensions with the Falken A/T3W compared to other all terrain tires in similar sizes. Often the Falken A/T3W will run larger (wider and taller) in comparison to an all terrain tire from another manufacturer in the same size. This can be a good thing if you're trying to get as much tire as possible under your truck, but it can also lead to unexpected rubbing if you were thinking that all tires of a given size had the same exact dimensions.

• I haven't had any experience with General Grabber AT3's, so I can't comment on them.

 

Thanks! I appreciate the professional opinion. I used to sell tires at a shop in Denver, CO (in a previous life)

 

As mine came with Yokohama Geolanders (thrown in the bed with the stock wheels and Fuel/BFGs mounted) -I wasn't aware that Falkens were factory equipped on some Tundras

 

Yes, the TRD PRO comes with Falcon Wildpeak A/T3W in SL rated 285/65 R18 and some OR models come with 20" Falcon Wildpeak A/T3Wa. Neither one of these from the factory carry the Three-Peak Mountain symbol. These are "light" versions designed to help with EPA standards.

 

Does anyone have pictures of General Grabber ATX 275/70R18 Standard load tires on TRD Pro wheels?

Total weight should be roughly: 73 lbs. (TRD Pro rim weight: 27 lbs., General Grabber ATX Standard load weight: 46 lbs.)

 

My 24 Limited Celestial Silver. 3.5 RC lift. 20” TRD wheels on 35x12.5R Toyo AT3 with 1.25 spacer( replacing the spacers with 1.5 Burger tuning). Tires rub a little on full turn lock. Ride is pretty good and very minimal road noise.

 

The overall look is spot on, nice work!

 

Picked up my 24’ Limited TRD off road on Thursday. Dealer put on Toyo ATIII in 275/65R/20. Looks and rides great! I’ll upload better pics later. Thanks for all the help on tires everyone.

 

Wish they would make these in non E rated tires in this size. I loved the Toyos on my Tacoma. Just don’t know how I feel about E rated tires. How has the ride been?

 

Honestly the ride feels buttery smooth to my wife and I. No complaints with the E rated tires. The stock suspension and feel is very nice.

 

Joined the Michelin “Old Man”faithful. Changed my Falken Wildpeak TRD Pro take offs for a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 285/65 R18 SL on the BBS 18” wheels.

These are the same diameter, 32.6”, and weight, 38lbs, as the stock Yokohama Geolandar X-CV that came on my Limited.

Much improved SMOOTH and QUIET ride. Yes, it’s not as aggressive looking, but I don’t care since I am after great highway ride/handling.

 

Spent months trying to decide on what to go with. Really appreciate the people that I reached out to on here for their help. Ended up going with the KMC Technic's and Falken Wildpeak AT4W combo. No lift or leveling kit. 285/70/R17

 

Looks great. Who cares if they're not A/T's, do what makes you happy! I'm also jealous of the smooth ride.

 

Got the Westcott ordered for my 22 tundra sport. Bought Goodyear boulder 295/65-20. Anyone run these or pics. Went with them as I got $390 off plus $100 more off using my CC. Wanted distracts but none in that size.

 

Goodyear duratracs ordered in 35/12.50-20 /Westcott 2.5/1 lift. Spidertrac 1” wheel spacers. I should be good. Weatcott states a 4 week lead time. Looks like they make them to order in my opinion and don’t stock inventory. Sad but it is what it is. $70 worth of aluminum for $450 ish. lol

 

I ordered the same kit. It's going on two weeks so far-still waiting. They did ship out the tire and wheel clearance kit right away though. I do value the alignment spec sheet they provide. I've been told by others who followed the spec had a wonderful ride and no issues.

 

They told me nothing needed other than spacers. No chop and so on. We will see.

 

I ordered the clearance kit because I will be running 37's on 18X9 wheel. Had I gone with 35's, I would have been ok. Did you order the lift kit in raw aluminum? I was told that it takes much longer if it's to be coated.

 

Amazing look on this truck!. It's perfect. I ordered the Method 305 NV's and going to be running 37's for 2024 Tundra along with Westcott Designs 2.5/1" lift. What lift kit are you running?

 

Finally made the jump to 37’s! Toyo R/T Trails on SCS F5’s 18x9 +12

 

Yep raw aluminum
