Absolute best tire for highway fuel mileage?

[izzy]

You're asking a sport sedan engine to move a pickup. The sedans are 2/3 the weight and shaped for aero lmao. Kind of stunning the 4 banger turbo makes such good low-end torque and sits at about 2/3 the gas mileage

Nothing about the T24A-FTS makes it a sport sedan engine. The previous gen 2GR-FKS was the car engine, and was infact in the Camry XSE/TRD and Lexus ES350/IS350/RC350 domestically. It was also in several JDM Toyota sedans, Avalon, Aurion, Crown, and even the Lotus Evora... the 2GR was really not made for trucks lol anyone who says the 2GR is a better power plant than the T24A-FTS for Tacoma is coping

There are no T24A-FTS variants in a sedan, only body on frame SUVs, trucks and unibody SUVs.

It's about as far as you can get from a sporty engine. If you put the T24A-FTS in a sports car it would be one of the most boring sports car ever thanks to the extremely undersquare stroke.

Well crap as that make 100 sense!
Now I have to bring it down A LOT, as I never looked @ the recommended PSI as it was close to 38 when purchased.

I just assumed it they were supposed to be 35 PSI like the last many vehicles I have purchased.
Of course we know root of "assume"...

Thanks for the information


So now what are most people running?
I googled and did see that Toyota airs tires up high for transportation on the car haulers.
Should have been adjusted at the dealer.
Guessing I will drop to 32psi. She has been great for 22k miles and tires look great thus far. She may ride better now!

You'll also get the service techs overinflating the tires too.

On my third gen I've generally stuck to door decal +1 or 2psi. I've had good tire life with even wear.
