If the wheel/tire combo is heavy, it can affect mileage. Unsprung weight is never a good thing. And taller tires can have an effect on overall gearing, stealing a bit of power to the ground.
But I totally get what you're doing. Not hating on it at all.

If you want a group III synthetic, which is most OTC synthetic oils, expect much higher prices and some limited availability. Both of the plants in Qatar that were damaged months ago in this "excursion" produced a large percentage of the world's G3 base oil. They are still off line.....not to...
The water company truck has put in the work the last couple of weeks. She finally got a well deserved cleaning, inside and out. Sunny day. Hard to get good pix. And I wasn't leaving the driveway for some scenic shots. 😁
One mod done today. It went pretty good. Still not sure why I had to...
I suppose it all depends on your requirements. I had two double cabs, a '15 and a '23. My kids were older by then. So special seats weren't needed. Everyone fit fine. I added a 12v port to the rear console for phone/game charging. All were happy. Also had a couple of buddies back there from time...
Thanks. I love the dark interior of the SR and I dig my wheels. I deliberately wanted the steelies. At one point in my life, no way. But this is the perfect truck for this point in my life.
I briefly looked at a '26 TRD PreRunner. But 3 things....one, it was pricey.....two, it had more shit on it than I needed....three, it was black. Beautiful rig. But swore off black vehicles years ago.
Nice.
Yeah, absolutely nothing available even remotely close In my area. They're so rare that the young kid (salesperson) literally didn't know they came this basic.
Absolutely love mine.
Haha....so true. But to be fair, even the hard-core folks have to have some downtime and buy bread at some point. The croc part? Yeah, that one I don't let slide. :giggle:
Admittedly I'm not up to speed on tuning the T24. But I would be very skeptical of those kind of gains on their own. I would think most of the gains would be attributed to the tune.
There's little point in doing that. The T24 engine already draws in cool air with the stock intake. I can't imagine there is any real performance gain to begin with, with a CAI, much less among different brands. They do give a nice throaty sound under throttle though.
