The Best Tires for your Toyota Tacoma

The best tires for your Toyota Tacoma

Maybe you’ve owned your Toyota Tacoma for years and are in need of a new set of tires. Or maybe you’re buying a new Toyota Tacoma and want to swap the factory tires out with something more performance-oriented. Either way, you’re in good hands – Toyota of Orlando’s parts store can get you exactly what you need. But what are the best tires for the Toyota Tacoma, and where can you find them?

Great news – not only do we have a list of the best tires for the Toyota Tacoma but we can also help you get your hands on them. Even if we don’t have them in stock, we can get them ordered for you in days. But before you shop, let’s talk about the two main options you should consider for your Toyota Tacoma tires: all-season tires and all-terrain tires.

What are all-season tires?

All-season tires are tires designed to take on the open road – specifically, on the pavement. These tires are usually the industry standard for most vehicles because they’re great for everyday driving and can also handle most weather events and even a little dirt road driving. Here are some things to keep in mind with all-season options when you’re looking for tires for your Toyota Tacoma:

• The tread is shallow, which means less road noise and more driving comfort. However, you’ll still have the traction you need in wet weather.
• They outlast other types of tires like all-terrain, which means you won’t have to replace them as often.
• Since they’re the industry standard for most cars, they’re one of the most affordable options.
• They can save you money on gas. The shallow tread, smaller size, and the rubber they’re made of all combine to make them more fuel-efficient than options like all-terrain tires.

All-season tires for Toyota Tacomas

Here are our top picks for all-season options when it comes to your best tires for your Toyota Tacoma:

• Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056
• Michelin Defender LTX M/S
• Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia
• General Dunlop Reliatrek HT (the most affordable)

However, the one drawback about all-season tires is that they’re not designed for off-road terrain. If you’re the type that likes to get off the pavement and off the beaten path, you definitely want to consider all-terrain tires for your Toyota Tacoma.

What are all-terrain tires?

All-terrain tires, on the other hand, are designed for tackling tough, uneven terrain in off-road scenarios. They’re built to handle rocks, sand, mud, and snow, so if you find yourself regularly taking your Toyota Tacoma through those conditions, you definitely want to consider all-terrain options. Here are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to all-terrain tires for your Toyota Tacoma:

• They’re also great for transporting large loads (towing and hauling).
• The tread pattern is deep and wide on these tires so they can better grip the road (or lack thereof) and also handle impact better.
• The trade-off, though, is that they tend to be louder when you’re driving on the pavement and could make your drive time slightly less comfortable.
• They do cost more than all-season tires. And you should also consider the fact that if you’re adding all-terrain tires to your Tacoma, you may have to make other modifications or adjustments to get them to properly fit.
• You’ll also probably see a decrease in fuel efficiency. These tires are bigger and blockier, not to mention made of a more durable material. All of the above can create more rolling resistance and lower your fuel efficiency.

However, those trade-offs might be worth it to you if you’re a serious off-roader.

All-Terrain tires for Toyota Tacomas

Here are our top picks for all-terrain options when it comes to your best tires for your Toyota Tacoma:

• Nitto Ridgegrappler XL
• Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S (the more affordable option)

Our techs can also talk to you about mud-terrain tires if you think those are more your speed. These tires are great for mud and sand, but be warned – they don’t perform as well on the road and typically don’t handle rainy pavement well.

Toyota Tacoma tire sizes

How do you know which size tires you need for your Toyota Tacoma? Typically, Toyota Tacoma tire sizes will range across 16-inch, 17-inch, 18-inch, and 19-inch variations. You can certainly go bigger, but you may need to make modifications or adjustments. Your best bet is to check in with one of our service or parts specialists so they can help you narrow down what you need from your tires – whether it’s performance, looks, or both – and choose the right set.
