" I'm assuming you're going with street tires, correct?"
Nope, going with K02's like on my 2016 SR... My SR has 265/75 R16 right now.
Hopefully you won't mind me asking this, but why buy the Sport model and set it up like an off road truck, when it doesn't have a rear locker, crawl control, downhill assist, etc. like the Off Road model has?Nope, going with K02's like on my 2016 SR...

I would do the same... still might. I still have an allocation for a Sport and an Offroad. Probably go Off Road, but something about the dealer just isn't feeling right. Probably wrong. The Sport is coming a few weeks later. Anyway, the Sport is still a 4x4 and to be honest the vast majority of us will never need a locker or crawl control because we won't take a 50k+ vehicle over rocks, etc.. I mostly need 4x4 for winter time and muddy back roads. That being said, it's fun to have themMy main requirements with this new 4G were, manual transmission and multi-link coiled rear.
Only the off-road and sport were in the running. I chose sport because I spend practically all of my time on pavement. Now if I had an x-runner type Tacoma, I would seek street performance tires, but the TRD Sport is still a 4x4 Tacoma.
With that, I will equip the sport like I have with all of my other 4x4 Tacoma's with BFG KO2's (KO's and mud-terrain in the past) because the KO2's are suburb tires that can handle Wisconsin winters and most challenges. They are super sticky on the street, but I love how they handle in very cold weather.
The TRD Sport is still a 4x4, with the same stance as the off-road. Most important mod is and always has been the tires.
Note: I have not driven my 2016 SR this past winter nor the previous because my 22 Corolla SE equipped with WS-90's on 15-inch steelies have handled the winter snow and ice conditions. As long as there is no more than 5 inches of snow in the morning when I leave for work, I will drive the Corolla.
So, with KO2's and 4.30 gears, the sport will rock. My SR 4x4 6-speed auto currently has 4.30 gears, so I know how these tires will be handled. My days of off-roading are in my past with such a new truck. But I still demand the stance of a Tacoma 4x4 even on the street because we can get nasty winters up here, plus flash flooding and mostly debris from severe storms littered everywhere. My Corolla can only handle so much, so the Tacoma fits the rest.
Thanks for asking.
285/70/17 tires on stock wheels, no poke, no trim, no cab mount removal.
Hell yeah!, your truck looks amazingThank you for sharing Craig. I'm running the same KO2 tire set up on my 2024 TRD Off-Road too. 285/70 R17 and I can also confirm no rubbing or need to do additional work to upgrade to the larger tire size. I do slightly feel the weight of the KO2s in the steering wheel but the Baja champs are definitely a softer ride and no louder than the stock BFGs.
I think it really brings the look of the truck together =)
This is the ultimate question to me as that’s what I ran on my 3rd gen. I know for a damn fact these trucks will take it WAY better than my 3rd gen did. Since when has a Tacoma come out rocking 33s in stock form! 35s is probably so easily done on these with a positive offset. 34s should have no issue on a 2.5 inch liftHas anyone gone 285-75-17 on the new Tacoma yet stock or would this require a lift?
This is a 285/75/17 but it's not my truck. The owner on FB said they do not rub, but you'd be taking his word for it.Has anyone gone 285-75-17 on the new Tacoma yet stock or would this require a lift?
