I like Subarus, but Subaru doesn't and hasn't made anything that's remotely comparable to a decent 4x4 with good tires off-road. If you think they have you're truly tweaking
Yeah no. Subaru has never made anything with significant ground clearance, articulation or approach/departure angles. There's a reason they make good rally cars and not offroad rigs. I could say I pass Lamborghinis all the time in my ford focus but that's absolutely meaningless
Plenty for driving though a grassy field sure. Not as much as a completely stock Tacoma though.
Interesting choice to hop on a Tacoma sub and start bragging about offroading a compact hatchback with 8 horsepower and the same blue book value as a can of coke
Take a piece of chalk, draw a few lines across the tread then drive the truck.
When the tire is at the right psi the chalk will all be rubbed off.
To high psi will leave chalk on the sides of the tread and too low will potentially leave chalk in the center.
Re do this until a bit of chalk starts to get left on the edges then air down a bit and your contact patch will be nice and even.
Only drive back and forth, not around the lot.
Turning makes the truck roll, which puts more pressure on the edges of the tread, making the test invalid.
Just let the foot off the break so it rolls automatically.... Do it in a parking lot or empty residential street, only roll/coast for like 30 feet tracking straight. Check your chalked out tread and look for even pattern... Watch some you tube videos " tire chalk test"
To get a more accurate psi you'll wanna drive around first because your psi will rise with warmer outside temps and friction, maybe +3-5 psi. For me I set my tires at 34 psi cold so when it warms up to about 37/38,psi I get pretty good even ware.
I go 2-3 less psi in the back too. I've read and heard some people do that with trucks even though the door jam puts all the tires at the same psi. According to the chalk test though my back tires ware evenly with a little less.
I feel bad for the guys’ spines in here inflating their tires to the number on the sidewall their whole life. Max PSI all the time? I’d rather ride in a horse drawn carriage.
Personally as a pavement princess I like 40. 35/37 feel too squishy and i actually lose about 2 miles per gallon. At 40 and gravel when I come off it cleans like a chalk test so I like it. Hover around 18.5 mpg.
Gotcha. Man I have been looking at the Mickey Thompson and falkens. Currently on km3 MT 285-70-17 3” lift. I really like these! How are they on the pavement/mpg?
Do the chalk test. Get a piece of chalk and make a strip across the threads. Drive 20-30ft and see how it wears.
Will take a bit to adjust but the end result will be what you use from now on.
When I went from stock to 285/75r16 Falken Wildpeaks I reached out to Falken and their answer is below:
> Your OE tires at 30 PSI carry a max load of 2,149 lbs. per tire as set by the vehicle manufacturer. In order to meet that load carrying capacity you will need to run your LT285/75R16 E-rated tires at 36 PSI, which equates to a max load of 2,172 lbs.
It's okay, it's a no-name bar from Amazon so it got water in it pretty much instantly so it's on the list to get replaced soon. It was like $40 so no big loss. Honestly the 2 Morimoto 4banger pods I have are brighter than it so I'm hoping a better bar will be less underwhelming. The location and install were super easy though so I like that about it.
Different tire sizes and load ratings require a different pressure than what is listed in the door jamb for stock sizes and load ratings. https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/
https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/
I like to start here. A chalk test after will help ensure correct pressure for even wear. The truck will probably have more stability on road at a higher pressure, but this will ensure the most even wear.
I used the link to set pressure on my first gen tacoma, running 32" LT all terrain tires. Went from 26/29 on door jamb to a recommended pressure of like 39 I believe. Skipped the chalk test and just measured tread depth during next oil change and adjusted to 41 front and rear. 41 seems to get nice even wear with regular cross-rotations every oil change.
I switched to nitrogen inflation. I lose maybe 1 psi or so between services (every 6 months roughly) compared to the maybe 5 psi I was dropping with regular air. I am a tech and do all my own service even though I really don't want to. My goal is to put my truck on the lift only twice a year during oil changes. It usually happens more often and I'm not happy about it, lol.
Edit: Falken Wildpeaks fwiw
We are raised to believe there is a single number goal for tire pressure. the truth is that you can set it within a range. I run the 35's on my Rubicon at 33. Used to run at 36 but the ride is too hard. Either one is safe and appropriate for the tires and the weight of my vehicle, and the range for me is probably 32 to 38.
Remember that pressure is defined at 65 degrees temperature. if it's 80 out every 10 degrees above 65 adds about a pound of pressure -- so at 80 if your goal is 33@65 degrees then you'd do 35'ish. If it's colder than 65 out they tell you to ignore the cold and just do the pressure you want as if it's 65 - there is no deduction for cold below 65.
Wanna get fancy? Weigh your vehicle and use the weight and pressure chart at the tire manufacturer.
I run load range E Coopers in a 33 inch size as well, and I run 35. Tire guys went by what a typical E sized tire runs, but because of how light a Tacoma is, you run a bit lower with them. 35 has ensued best wear and comfort in my experience.
Source: I'm a tire guy and Tacoma owner lol
Yea alot of these comments are saying much about the e rating much stiffer ride more plys so usually you run them at higher pressure, really they're for 3/4 ton trucks for towing, heavy weights and such, curious to see how they do on a trail at that psi since usually you want a tire to smush more when off roading, being a e rated I think you'd have to be like at 5 psi to get then to smush
They are not, they're projector led housings but unfortunately the truck came with them from the previous owner so don't know the brand. They are excellent though with a super bright output and a very short and wide beam with a sharp cutoff.
I went off a buddy’s chalk test and it’s been working well for my 3rd gen for tire longevity. The fronts are almost always at 34 cold. The rear stays at 30 cold unless you have a full load then match it at 34. If your towing and have your max combined weight met then I go to 42 cold. This is on a 10 ply BFG KO2.
I run 35 for a good compromise. Clean setup! I was thinking of getting the Bilstein 5100 -- what did you do in the rear? New leaf pack? AAL? Love your setup, I'm trying to get some better suspension, and hoping to do it subtly like yours.
In this picture the rear is actually completely stock because I ran out of time to install the rear lift blocks. So it's a little higher in the front, I'll throw in the rear lift blocks to being it back to level though. I'll go with an AAL eventually
This is just the bilsteen 5100s, no other mod to suspension no spacers?
I ask because I prefer the stock but bigger look of your wheel set up. Basically looking to copy you lol.
In this picture it's 5100s in the front, 25mm wheel spacers on all 4, and fully stock suspension in the back. It has a little squat but I already have the lift blocks for the back I just ran out of time to install them on Thursday
Just out of curiosity, can someone explain to me how I decide on my tire air pressure? I don’t have these tire. I have a different set. Is it printed on the sidewall? Also, if I go to the max, it’s better for gas but bad ride? Is this correct?
This man in his 70s who seems to now alot.... said when he was a young boy working at some shop. A man told him always put four pounds less than what your tire needs. 🤓
It depends on what quality shocks you have on high end long or medium travel shocks high pressure on the highway is good then deflate when you go off road. If you wondering how to set pressure deflate/ inflate till you see a slight bulge in the sidewall check the pressure on the front match them and do the same to the rear. Likely they should be different. Or just look on the inside off the door panel it will tell you what factory recommended. For 4x4 low trails I like sub 20’s
On my LT285/70R17E Falken Wildpear R/T01s, I run 40psi. 35 is too bouncy for them, 45 is too stiff. Toyo has an excellent chart on their site as well. I believe it was right around 40 for my application.
Great looking truck!
You're going to be around 30 lbs psi as a guess with those tires and unloaded. The chalk line method is probably in these comments and works well but these days just get yourself a laser thermometer and the rest is common sense. Tires over inflated have more contact with the center of the tread resulting in the center being warmer than the out edge tread surface and the opposite is true with under inflated. As the tire rolls it flexes and the overlapping belts in the tire generate heat, more so when under inflated so you'll want a short trip on the highway to stabilize this heat to get an accurate temperature reading. A laser thermometer allows you to just pull over when convenient on the way to somewhere and get a measurement of the tread temperature middle and sides as it may take some time to get it dialed in. I'm going to guess 29 lbs psi in the rear and 32 lbs psi in the front, unloaded, measured cold.
I believe Legally it must be printed on the sidewall of the tire,I’m 59 and I’ve been driving since 17 and every tire on every vehicle I’ve owned it’s been printed on the side,besides my Tacoma I own a 100cc scooter with 10” wheels and a 600cc scooter with 13”&14” wheels and the recommended psi is printed on all of them,the psi # printed is for a cold tire
Yeah every tire I've ever owned has had the max pressure on it, none of them including these duratracs have an unloaded recommended pressure. The only number on these is 80psi which I won't be running them at
Nope. All it say is max 80. And I won't be running them at 80. None of the other 50+ tires I've owned have said anything other than max pressure either
Curious what your full setup is? I really like the look and stance of your truck. I want to move to 285/75s also, been trying to figure out if I really want to buy new wheels, but i’ve seen tons of posts by others having rubbing issues even with aftermarket wheels with 0 and negative offset. Curious on your shock / spring setup and are you running spacers with the OEM wheels?
I’m thinking of running an AAL out back when I finally do lift, I don’t like how soft the rear suspension is for almost anytime you have to load anything of significant weight in the bed. I have some time to decide still, 14.5k on the stock tires, look like they have about 1 more year (maybe 2, I think for ATs these are wearing extremely well) worth of tread left before they won’t pass. How is the ride at 1.5” and do you get any rubbing on the cab mounts with the wheel spacers?
Whatever is recommended on the door -5 PSI is what i usually do for my trucks unless towing or offroad
Also, keep up with rotations on these, Duratracs suck ass about tire wear and noise. When they get past half worn they get SUPER LOUD, mine are literally louder than the mud terrains i have on any of my other trucks.
You should be running about 40 psi. Normal stock tire 2657016 112 load index holds 2117 lbs at 30 psi . The 2857516 goodyear duratracks hold about the same at 40 . This would be the technical answer
They seem to rub slightly on my aftermarket mudflaps but I haven't had a chance to articulate them fully yet so I won't be surprised if they contact the cab mount or something but we'll see. Street driving is fine though no issues. It's got Bilstein 5100s set at one setting down from maximum with stock TRD offroad wheels with 25mm spacers. Which makes the offset equivalent to zero.
Interesting and thanks for the info. I have a 2 inch 6112/5160 lift and it sits okay but the tires aren’t as flush as id like them to be but yours sits exactly how id like mine to, id add a picture if I knew how to
As a tire tech, those tires are typically rated 50 to 51 PSI max so it’s best to air them up to 38 PSI. The air fluctuates depending on the weather so that’s the best PSI to have them.
Usually the PSI is right in the door frame by your driver seat, buttt since it’s not the OEM size tires you’re running maybe a few PSI over the recommended amount but under the 50
No clue but wanted to say I love the look very functional and clean setup
Thank you! Simple, useful and good-looking is what I'm going for.

Iv owned both now. No chance off-road a Subaru compares.

At 62 I’m not quite a kid anymore. And I sleep just fine, thank you. Probably because I own a Tacoma.
What sort of namby pamby off roading are you doing?

Okay now I want you to point out which specific Tacoma hurt you in the line up, son. It's okay they can't hurt you anymore.
And everyone would clap.

Re do this until a bit of chalk starts to get left on the edges then air down a bit and your contact patch will be nice and even.
You talking like actually go for a drive with the chalk, or just roll back and forth?
Just forward and backward should work fine. https://www.4wheelparts.com/the-dirt/how-to-find-the-right-tire-pressure-for-your-4x4-using-chalk/
Thank you for the info! I'll grab some chalk and give this a try next time I'm near an empty parking lot!
Only drive back and forth, not around the lot. Turning makes the truck roll, which puts more pressure on the edges of the tread, making the test invalid.

They would balance out if you rotated them, which not many people do lol
265/75r16 Nitto Ridge Grapplers here, I run 35. Nice balance between ride quality and gas mileage. Top it up once a month or so
I feel bad for the guys’ spines in here inflating their tires to the number on the sidewall their whole life. Max PSI all the time? I’d rather ride in a horse drawn carriage.
Right? Literally almost unbearable at 50 and the max is 80. Fat chance I'm suffering like that lol
Personally as a pavement princess I like 40. 35/37 feel too squishy and i actually lose about 2 miles per gallon. At 40 and gravel when I come off it cleans like a chalk test so I like it. Hover around 18.5 mpg.
I am 100% borrowing "Pavement Princess" for my Taco.
I hate 99% of tacomas on there. That is a good looking truck. Big yet subtle
Thank you! I'm happy with the way it's turning out. Capable without being over-the-top or difficult to enjoy and use every day.
Which exact tires are these? The Duartrac what? Nice truck!
These are the standard duratrac (which is about to be phased out in favour of the less aggressive duratrac RT)
Gotcha. Man I have been looking at the Mickey Thompson and falkens. Currently on km3 MT 285-70-17 3” lift. I really like these! How are they on the pavement/mpg?
Agreed dude. Over-the-top is for children, that’s a man’s truck
I run 34 but that's duratrac 16s
These are 16 inch duratracs as well, what size are yours?
265/75 (32") My wear is great too. Rotate every 5k and no issues
Do the chalk test. Get a piece of chalk and make a strip across the threads. Drive 20-30ft and see how it wears. Will take a bit to adjust but the end result will be what you use from now on.
I love the look of that integrated light bar!

So it's probably safe to say I should be in the same ballpark, given that mine are also E rated LT285/75R16s.
In my Tacoma I run my 16” duratrack tires around 38 psi
Just came here to say that’s a fantastic looking rig. Well done!
Had those tires for years. 35 all the way around.
How do you like the light in the grill? Inside door jam will list the tire pressures.

Depends on what you are up to doing, tire pressure.
For daily driving on pavement. Obviously I'll drop them down when I hit the dirt
35 man
I have duratracs and run them around 34
37 will prevent cupping
Your truck 😍
My inner child smiles every time I walk up to it :) such a good vehicle
Do a chalk test.
Will do! Gonna let them down to 36 till I get a chance to mess around with it in an empty parking lot.
Do you have a lift, too, or just the new tires?
Yeah it's on Bilstein 5100s set one setting down from maximum
Front and back?
Rear is fully stock in this picture, which did give it a little squat so I have some lift blocks for the back. Just ran out of time to install

What lights are those on the grill?
It's a 32 inch light bar. Mine's an off-brand one but I know cali-raised and (I believe) diode dynamics both make kits to mount bars in that location
I run load range E Coopers in a 33 inch size as well, and I run 35. Tire guys went by what a typical E sized tire runs, but because of how light a Tacoma is, you run a bit lower with them. 35 has ensued best wear and comfort in my experience. Source: I'm a tire guy and Tacoma owner lol

Nah, 10 is what I run. I wheel hard enough to have issues with the bed splitting open and that gives me enough smush to do anything.
Are those fog lights stock?
They are not, they're projector led housings but unfortunately the truck came with them from the previous owner so don't know the brand. They are excellent though with a super bright output and a very short and wide beam with a sharp cutoff.
I went off a buddy’s chalk test and it’s been working well for my 3rd gen for tire longevity. The fronts are almost always at 34 cold.

32 cold on my ko2's gets me 15 mpgs and uneven wear. I do 38 cold.
Do the chalk method. Or [tiresize.com](http://tiresize.com) has a calculator that gets you in the ballpark.
I have the same size and do 38psi

"Know" Sorry it is early. ☕️
It depends on what quality shocks you have on high end long or medium travel shocks high pressure on the highway is good then deflate when you go off road.

All about weight of the vehicle.
Seen it earlier. 35 to 40 on my yukon. Maybe 50 in the rear if I'm hauling 65ish when towing basic trailers.
how did they balance? was thinking of getting a set
Zero vibrations! May want to pick them up now if you want a set, I hear they're phasing them out in favour of the less aggressive duratrac RT
35psi
You're going to be around 30 lbs psi as a guess with those tires and unloaded. The chalk line method is probably in these comments and works well but these days just get yourself a laser thermometer and the rest is common sense. Tires over inflated have more contact with the center of the tread resulting in the center being warmer than the out edge tread surface and the opposite is true with under inflated. As the tire rolls it flexes and the overlapping belts in the tire generate heat, more so when under inflated so you'll want a short trip on the highway to stabilize this heat to get an accurate temperature reading. A laser thermometer allows you to just pull over when convenient on the way to somewhere and get a measurement of the tread temperature middle and sides as it may take some time to get it dialed in. I'm going to guess 29 lbs psi in the rear and 32 lbs psi in the front, unloaded, measured cold.
It’s stamped on the side of the tire….
Nope it's not.
I believe Legally it must be printed on the sidewall of the tire,I’m 59 and I’ve been driving since 17 and every tire on every vehicle I’ve owned it’s been printed on the side,besides my Tacoma I own a 100cc scooter with 10” wheels and a 600cc scooter with 13”&14” wheels and the recommended psi is printed on all of them,the psi # printed is for a cold tire
Yeah every tire I've ever owned has had the max pressure on it, none of them including these duratracs have an unloaded recommended pressure. The only number on these is 80psi which I won't be running them at
Says it on the tire…
Doesn't...
Sure does
Nope. All it say is max 80. And I won't be running them at 80. None of the other 50+ tires I've owned have said anything other than max pressure either
👍🏻
Any lift?
Curious what your full setup is? I really like the look and stance of your truck. I want to move to 285/75s also, been trying to figure out if I really want to buy new wheels, but i’ve seen tons of posts by others having rubbing issues even with aftermarket wheels with 0 and negative offset. Curious on your shock / spring setup and are you running spacers with the OEM wheels?
In this pic the rear is stock with 25mm wheel spacers, front is Bilstein 5100s set at 1.55" and 25mm wheel spacers
I’m thinking of running an AAL out back when I finally do lift, I don’t like how soft the rear suspension is for almost anytime you have to load anything of significant weight in the bed. I have some time to decide still, 14.5k on the stock tires, look like they have about 1 more year (maybe 2, I think for ATs these are wearing extremely well) worth of tread left before they won’t pass. How is the ride at 1.5” and do you get any rubbing on the cab mounts with the wheel spacers?
Is this on stock suspension?
Whatever is recommended on the door -5 PSI is what i usually do for my trucks unless towing or offroad Also, keep up with rotations on these, Duratracs suck ass about tire wear and noise. When they get past half worn they get SUPER LOUD, mine are literally louder than the mud terrains i have on any of my other trucks.
I have the same tires and run mine at 35-38
Base the pressure according to the tires recommendation
50 PSI, is a little bit of an over kill. I’d say somewhere around 30 but it would be smart to do the chalk test.
You should be running about 40 psi. Normal stock tire 2657016 112 load index holds 2117 lbs at 30 psi . The 2857516 goodyear duratracks hold about the same at 40 . This would be the technical answer
Amazing color - is that an aftermarket paint job?
Nope! Voodoo Blue.
My KO2s are 265/75R16 and they’re set at around 35-40, but question about your tires? Do they rub? What’d you have to do to fit them?
They seem to rub slightly on my aftermarket mudflaps but I haven't had a chance to articulate them fully yet so I won't be surprised if they contact the cab mount or something but we'll see. Street driving is fine though no issues. It's got Bilstein 5100s set at one setting down from maximum with stock TRD offroad wheels with 25mm spacers. Which makes the offset equivalent to zero.
Interesting and thanks for the info. I have a 2 inch 6112/5160 lift and it sits okay but the tires aren’t as flush as id like them to be but yours sits exactly how id like mine to, id add a picture if I knew how to
Mine do poke slightly, maybe like a half inch or so? The duratracs have big sidewall lugs though which contributes to that.
As a tire tech, those tires are typically rated 50 to 51 PSI max so it’s best to air them up to 38 PSI. The air fluctuates depending on the weather so that’s the best PSI to have them.
These ones are 80psi max according to the sidewall
oh okay then 50 PSI is more than okay, that’s definitely a lot of rubber for that engine. Those are more ideal for hauling stuff.
From a tire guy, we look at max tire psi, that’s probably 60 to 80 so we take the max psi and put 10 psi less
Yeeeesh well there ain't no chance I'm going with 70psi
Usually the PSI is right in the door frame by your driver seat, buttt since it’s not the OEM size tires you’re running maybe a few PSI over the recommended amount but under the 50
That's kind of what I was thinking, 50 seems way too much. Maybe I'll air them down to like 37ish and see what it feels like
Love the light bar placement!
Me too! It's not too "look at me!"
I have to ask, you really don't know? Owning that I would assume you do. BRO, open drivers door, look at tag, pressure posted their from manufacturer.
Yeah that's for factory tire size and load range. Not relevant to my needs
You air them up to whatever the PSI says on the side of the tires. All tires say on their sidewall what you should air them up to.
The only pressure number on the sidewall is the 3750lb max load at 80psi and I don't intend to run them at 80psi, or run my truck at 11000 pounds lol
Whatever it says on the tire. High end of that range for better mpg on highway, low end for off roading, assuming it's more than a few psi difference.
No. Not at all. Not even close.
The only psi number it says on the sidewall is 80, which I certainly will not be doing
