Best Tires for Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro

Published by Rims & Tires

Compiled & checked by the site's publisher from manufacturer, NHTSA & USTMA data · Updated 2026-07-24

The Tacoma TRD Pro comes from the factory with TRD-tuned off-road suspension and a Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tire — the Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar on the 3rd gen (2016-2023), and the Wrangler Territory RT on the redesigned 4th gen (2024-current). It is built for genuine off-road use. Most TRD Pro owners replace the stock tires at first wear with something even more capable.

Tacoma TRD Pro tire sizes

3rd gen TRD Pro (2016-2023): 265/70R16 (standard TRD Pro and Trail Edition). 4th gen (2024-current): 265/70R18 (TRD Pro and Trailhunter).

Most 3rd-gen owners replace in the stock 265/70R16 size, or go to 285/75R16 on aftermarket 16-inch wheels after a 2-inch lift.

265/70R16 is the base TRD Pro size on the 3rd gen (2016-2023); the redesigned 4th gen (2024-current) TRD Pro and Trailhunter run 265/70R18.

Best tires — TRD Pro (265/70R16)

BF Goodrich KO2 in 265/70R16: the standard TRD Pro upgrade — most popular first replacement for owners who want more off-road bite than the OEM Wrangler all-terrain.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 265/70R16: excellent 3PMSF A/T capability at a lower price than KO2. Very popular in the Tacoma community for its value and traction.

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT in 265/70R16: for TRD Pro owners who run more aggressive trail use — hybrid AT/MT design with serious sidewall protection.

Choosing tires for the Tacoma TRD Pro in West Georgia

The TRD Pro comes ready for real off-road use, so the tire question is mostly about how much of that capability you actually need. Most owners are best served by a quality all-terrain with a load rating built for the truck and enough winter grip for the occasional cold snap, capable on gravel and red-clay trails without punishing you on the highway. Save the mud-terrains for trucks that live on hard trails.

West Georgia's mix of paved commutes and unpaved county roads suits an all-terrain well. Match the size and load rating on your door-jamb sticker, keep all four matched for the four-wheel-drive system, and a local shop can confirm the right load range.

Frequently asked

How much do Tacoma TRD Pro tires cost?

265/70R16 (factory Standard Load, or LT Load Range C for a stiffer aftermarket off-road build) A/T: $165–240 per tire. A set of four installed: $660–960.

Should I go all-terrain or mud-terrain on my Tacoma TRD Pro?

For most TRD Pro owners, all-terrain is the right call. It handles the daily commute, gravel, and moderate trails without the road noise and faster highway wear a mud-terrain brings. Choose a mud-terrain only if you regularly run deep mud or technical trail and accept the trade-offs. Around West Georgia's mixed paved-and-clay driving, a good A/T is the sweet spot.

How do I know when my TRD Pro needs new tires?

Check tread depth across the width and look for chunking or uneven wear from off-road use, which shows up sooner on aggressive tires. A quarter test that reveals the top of Washington's head means it is time. Sidewall cuts from rocks, cracking, or a bulge all mean replace now, since off-road damage is easy to miss until you look closely.

Do all-terrain tires hurt fuel economy on the Tacoma?

A little, yes. Aggressive tread and heavier construction add rolling resistance, so you will usually give up some mileage versus a highway tire, with mud-terrains costing the most and all-terrains far less. Going up in size adds weight too. If the truck mostly daily-drives, a quieter all-terrain keeps the penalty small while still handling the trails you take it on.
