TundraGeneral discussion forum for the 2007 and later Toyota Tundra.
This is a discussion thread titled "new tires to replace new stock tires???", within the Tundra forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
I want to get new fat tires really bad, but I can't get over wasting a perfectly good new set of tires that came with the truck. What's everyone with new wheels/tires doing with their stock tires?

Just do burnouts with the stock tires until there are holes in them and then you won't hafta worry about the perfectly good set of stock tires anymore. Make sure to take lots of vids while doing this too so we can all watch.

I bought new BFG AT/TA's and just sold the stockers on craigslist for $300. I had about 600 miles on them when I replaced them.

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."
Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.
After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.
Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.
Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.
Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.
Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
Take them off and store them in the attic or something. You never know if you will run into some hard times and need a set of tires, or god forbid have to sell the truck

That's a great idea..I had some wheels and tires stolen off my old truck before. Luckily I had my stock ones in the garage attic
And what tires would be better for offroad but also better for street performance if thats possible?? How much more would a set of a/t tires weigh over the stock tires and would the on road grip b any better?

I bought some BFG KO's from Discount tire at 230 each (steal of a deal)
The tire size is 285 65 18's Though you could go with 305 65 18's if you trim the skid palte.
BFG KO's are a very nice A/T tire and excellent traction on and off road.
Downside is they are heavy as hell and will hurt your MPG at least 1mpg if not more IMO. This is the case with any 10 ply tire though.
Nitto also has a good A/T tire, but I would recommend the BFG A/T.
And if your gonna be seeing a lot of mud get some M/T b/c A/T generally dont clean out their lugs well in the mud and you will be dissapointed. Ive taken my truck through some decent mud and it handled fine but i was going through very deep or slick mud..
