Quote HistoryQuoted: For the record.... bought it because you can supercharge the V8. The new 2022's are all V6's. Why not get a Lightning or something along those lines? |

Quoted: Just got a used Tundra 2020 TRD Pro with 18" wheels. The current tires suck and love to spin, even on dry roads. Looking for the best performance on street/pavement. Willing to upgrade to 20" wheels if needed. This truck will most likely get a supercharger. Which is why pavement traction and performance is the priority, and we want it to handle more like our sportier cars. Coming from performance cars/SUVs was looking at Continental DWS06's but they don't come in truck flavors. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/477522/20211205_152115-2194034.jpg The Michelin Defender LTX M/S is the balanced highway all season you are looking for that can handle forest service roads...Beware - they are pricey and are hit and miss on supply right now. An excellent all terrain alternative is the Cooper Discoverer AT3S or Continental TerrainContact H/T. Both are quiet, but the Continentals are middling in snow. The Coopers are 3PMSF but are NOT a snow tire. If snow traction is a concern, go Cooper or Michelin Why you should listen to me - I have all of these tires on vehicles and have experience with them in snow, on road and off road (not mudding or crawling rocks, but on sandy, rocky forest service wash outs in AWD vehicles) |

I run Cooper Discoverer AT3's on my 2012 Tundra CrewMax.
285/60R20's on Method Grid 20x9's. Have a 3/1 lift with Coachbuilder 3" shackles, carrier bearing drop kit, 2 spacers in the left front to correct the lean, Bilstein 5160s in the rear, and 6112's up front. Had to trim the front body mounts, got some plates from SoCal Offroad to fit that area, and had my shop weld them in.  The tires in this picture are 295/65R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They're about 12 pounds per tire heavier than the Coopers, and have a much stiffer compound. Plus, the truck barely cleared the garage opening with them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just realized OP is building a bro dozer and you're all accomplices Nope, no lift, and trying to not buy ridiculous looking knobby tires. No bro dozer. This thing doesn't stop on a dime either, so won't be driving it unless necessary. Need a company truck for hauling shit and driving to events. We learned earlier this year the Mercedes van is not fun to drive in high winds... its actually scary. |

Very great street performance, ride, and longevity, I recommend Michelin LTX A/T2. I have had them on everything from 1/2 tons to 1 tons and they have been awesome!

There isn’t really anything that will handle well in the stock size. |

Just to dissappoint...
I went to the tire shop 200ft from our business. They treat us well, so we like to give them business. If they had either the Continental terrain contacts or Michelin defenders in stock I was going with those... if not, tire rack had 20" wheels and 20" continentals instock... Unfortunately the local place can't get Continental tires to save their lives, but could have the Michelin defenders tomorrow.... so 18" Defenders it is. |

I think there was some racer who said the ideal rim size is the smallest one you can fit around the braked. Out of curiosity, what are the tires that are currently on the pickup? |

New Tires! Michelin Defenders. Tried for the Continentals first, but they are a PITA to find instock locally. Had the Michelins next day.
Drove it home last night just to see how they feel. A ton of road noise/vibration has been eliminated. Much harder to spin the tires one wet pavement. Seems like a huge upgrade over the Nitto Grabbers that came with it for road use
