Tire question (2 Viewers)

Hello,

First off thank you for reading this. I like the trd wheels(PTR20-35110-F5) and would like to keep my 06 gx470 as stock as possible. My question is can I use tire size 265/65R17 for it? Also are the Bridgestone - DUELER A/T ASCENT(Costco tire) good for daily driving? I appreciate everyone time on this. Thank you

265/65/17 is the stock tire size. You should have no issues. A lot of folk step up to 265/70/17. May require just a touch of plastic trimming. I did in that case. Not something you would ever notice and took me 10 minutes.

Those tires will work just fine for a mostly street driven truck.

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. I’m having it done in Portland, OR while I’m at work. I won’t have any tools with me till I get home. Would it be a problem to drive back if I don’t do the plastic trimming right away if I go with 265/70/17? Again thank you

I think you'd be fine. I put on my tires and drove about 100 miles like that before trimming. At over 50% lock for the steering wheel you'll likely rub a bit into the side steps behind the front wheel. But I wouldn't sweat it.

Thank you , I appreciate it. Have a wonderful day!

Don’t be afraid of a little liner trim…it’s super easy to move the wheel liner up…there’s even YouTube videos on this
