New member - Westchester NY, '24 Silver TRD OR

[Regius]

Been lurking for a year and lots of useful information! Been loving Toyota's since 2018, when I traded my Volvo for a LX570 2011. Had a 2022 Tacoma TRD Offroad long bed, a 2023 GX460 atomic, and two 2023 4runners, plus a 2024 Tundra TRD Sport grey. Now settling down on the 2024 Tacoma, TRD Offroad silver, short bed. It's over 12200 miles now and I think this is it. My ideal car set up would be a Carolla hatchback for city driving and parking, and a pick up, but not there yet. At this moment, there's only minor mods such as stripes and side steps and ARK front mud flaps. I have a AWE 0FG exhaust ready to install tomorrow, a set of NOMAD Convoy 25mm. I would very much appreciate some input on a potential wheel-tire set up.

Whatever wheel you choose I would definitely stick with a +25 or a +35 offset. I would not go to a zero unless you want a lot of poke. The two above mentioned offsets keep the wheels more pulled in so that you’re not slinging rocks against the rear fender. Even with those offsets, though you probably still need some type of paint protection, film, or something to prevent it. Perhaps larger fender flares, really good mudflaps/guards or some flat sided steps or rock sliders…as far as tires go I can only speak from personal experience. I had a set of falcon wild peaks on my 20 Tacoma. I absolutely despised them. Perhaps I got a bad set, but they were terrible. They were loud and very annoying. I went with BFGKO2s on my 24 Tacoma. I loved them at the onset. They were quiet, ran smooth and seemed to perform well in all conditions, except for wet road conditions. However, with probably only about 10,000 miles on the tire, they suddenly developed a bumpy ride and that distinct womp womp womp sound. The tires were so unevenly wore I had to replace them. And I had had them routinely rotated and balanced the guy who I got my next set of tires from said he sells BFG’s all the time; he can sell 10 sets and have no issues and then he said all of a sudden he’ll get a few sets that are just plain awful. So I took his advice and went with Nittos. I chose the recon grappler. I almost went with the Toyo open country three. The open country three is a C rated Tire and would not weigh as much. It has great reviews. It was my understanding that the recon grappler is essentially the sister to the open country. Since where I was purchasing was a Nitto dealer I went with that. So far they’re really good. They run quiet and ride good. Only time will tell how well they last, but some people have said they’ve got 70,000 miles out of theirs. Best of luck with your decision.

Thank you for the thoughtful response! I plan to put 255 class of tires. I’ll take note on which brand from your message!
