265/70R17 Wildpeak AT4W (31.5") tires installed on stock SR5 wheels

[risurfstyle]

Wanted to bump up the OEM SR5 tires just a bit, which were 245/70R17 (30.5” diameter).

Installed 265/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT4W tires (31.5" diameter) on the stock SR5 wheels.

Very nice. What did you do with the stock tires? Did you trade them in?

I kept them but will sell if I can. Wasn't a trade in option at either the dealer (who did the install) or tire rack (who's quote was higher than dealer)

Any noticeable difference in steering / handling, ride quality or noise compare to stock SR5 tires?

Yes

There is a difference. The stock OEM tires are quieter, slightly lower mpg on the Falkens (though I'm not sure if any of it is related to the difference in tire size and what the computer is recording, there is a speed difference by about 1.5mph). Overall it feels more truck-like, but that was to be expected. Not a deal beaker but if I wanted maximum fuel economy and smooth road ride the OEM tires would be the ones to go with.

Steering wise I can tell the difference but not in any noticeably negative way.

Looks so much better than stock tires.
