Are you in the market for new tires for your Toyota Tundra? Maybe you're looking to go bigger, wider, or just want to upgrade for better performance. If you're planning a tire change, it's important to understand what’s possible with your stock truck and what modifications might be necessary. This guide will help you navigate the options and avoid common pitfalls. Toyota has used only a few different tire sizes for the Tundra over the years.

How Tall Can You Go?

One of the most common questions is how big you can go with tires. Adding larger tires is an easy way to give your truck a more rugged or unique look. However, the Tundra does have some wheel well space limitations, and going too big can lead to rubbing issues. The easiest way to increase tire size is to stick with one of the OEM sizes listed above. Going beyond that may require some adjustments: - **Speedometer & Odometer Accuracy**: Larger tires can throw off your speedometer and odometer readings. You may need to reprogram your truck’s computer. - **Torque and Performance**: Bigger tires add weight and resistance, which can reduce low-end torque and affect acceleration.

Rules To Remember

- **3% Height and Width Rule**: Most tire dealers refer to this as the “plus 1” size. You can usually increase both height and width by about 3% without needing a lift or leveling kit. However, not all manufacturers offer exact 3% increases. - **1” Lift = 1” Tire Height**: If you install a lift, you can safely go up by about 1 inch in tire height per inch of lift. But width changes require different backspacing.

Over-Sized Tundra Tires

Note: These recommendations are based on the factory wheels. Using upgraded rims with different backspacing allows for wider tires. Also, if you go really wide, consider fender flares.
