    Ladies and Gentleman, I am the new owner of a 2019 Limited CrewMax 4wd... I am coming out of a 2006 Tacoma with 4wd and I was running 285/75R16's (33") and in this new truck it comes with 275/55R20... That's just not enough rubber for me... With the current tire setup on the Tundra I am getting 17.5 hwy and 15 city... How much of a drop in fuel economy can I expect with moving up to a 33" on the Tundra? Does anyone have experience with this setup? I am considering a 33x12.50R20... Thanks in advance!

    There's a ton of posts on this over in the wheel and tire section on these forums. I went from 275/55R/20 (stock Dueler street tire) to 60 series Kenda AT2 and lost maybe .5mpg.

    Luckily mpg sucks on these trucks anyway

    You shouldn't see too much of a drop with that size. The 33x12.50 is a bit wider though so that will be most of the cause of the decrease.
