If it is to be a daily driver and mileage is an issue you might want to reconsider, even if you regear the diffs you will still use more gas because of the extra rolling resistance of the wider tires. The BFG A/Ts would be my LAST choice if you require good winter performance, my Revos are great for winter and may not last as long as BFG A/Ts but I'll trade that for superior winter traction anyday.  IMO as hard as the Tundras are on gas already and considering the price of gas, lift kits and big tires are too much of a compromise for a daily driver. I just went with the 75 series Revos to give me a little extra height over stock and even at that I notice a slight decrease in fuel mileage and power due to the slightly taller tire and that's enough of a compromise for me but to each their own  To me it just does not seem to be worth it unless a person was planning to go larger than 33" tires. |
I agree that it is hardly worth all the trouble and cost to go to the 33" tire which is only a half inch more clearance than the largest size you can fit with no modifications. I did install a 2 inch lift and AAL in preperation for 285/75/16 (33") but after that I changed my mind and went with the 265/75/16 BFG AT. The only positive other than that 1/2" more clearance is looks and I got over that quick when I started looking at all the negatives and costs.
Although we can fit on our stock rims a 255/85/16 if you can find a tire in that size to suit your needs. Might try that next.
