TRD OR - Tire Size Upgrade Concerns

[RESQCAT]

I'm running 285/70R17 Falken AT4W (SL load rating). I've noticed no negative affects with the sensors or anything else. The speedometer is slightly off but only by roughly 3% which is around 2-3mph at 60mph. I've checked this against GPS.

The new tires ride just slightly stiffer than the OEM tires, but nothing like the E-rated tires on my previous truck (F150).

If someone ever figures out how to calibrate the speedometer for the larger tires, then I'll do it. Of all the trucks that I've owned, I've only been able to calibrate my F150 for larger tires.

Good news depending on your truck trim level. An OEM Trailhunter is 265/70R18. I am waiting on my Method 703s with the same Falken AT4Ws, 285/70R17.

Tire size comparison is only 0.03% difference, not 3% between these two tires. So at 60mph you are going 60.2 mph with the 285s.

And I like the 6 ply as compared to an E rated 10 ply too.
