Recommended Tire Sizes for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Midsize Pickup
Short answer
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma, first year of the fourth-gen midsize pickup, runs 245/70R17 on the SR and SR5, 265/70R17 on the TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road, 265/65R18 on the TRD Sport and Limited, and a nominal 33-inch tire on the Trailhunter and TRD Pro. A 285/70R17 fits at stock height with minor changes (remove mud flaps).
What tire sizes did the 2024 Toyota Tacoma come with?
2024 is the year the Tacoma started over. It is the first model year of the fourth generation, and Toyota used the redesign to spread this midsize pickup's factory tires across 17-inch and 18-inch wheels and 5 distinct sizes. Our dataset holds 10 rows for the year across 8 trims, read from Toyota's 2024 eBrochure, and the table below prints each one with the availability wording the source used.
| Trim | Configuration | Stock size | Overall diameter | Wheel | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR | XtraCab | 245/70R17 | 30.5 in | 17-in steel | standard |
| SR | Double Cab | 245/70R17 | 30.5 in | 17-in styled alloy | standard |
| SR5 | XtraCab or Double Cab | 245/70R17 | 30.5 in | 17-in styled alloy | standard |
| TRD PreRunner | XtraCab | 265/70R17 | 31.6 in | 17-in TRD PreRunner alloy | standard |
| TRD Sport | Double Cab | 265/65R18 | 31.6 in | 18-in TRD Sport alloy | standard |
| TRD Off-Road | Double Cab i-FORCE | 265/70R17 | 31.6 in | 17-in TRD Off-Road alloy | standard |
| TRD Off-Road | available 18-in wheel row | 265/70R18 | 32.6 in | 18-in TRD Off-Road alloy | available |
| Limited | Double Cab | 265/65R18 | 31.6 in | 18-in Limited chrome-finished alloy | standard |
| Trailhunter | Double Cab | 33 in | 33 in (nominal) | 18-in Trailhunter bronze-finished alloy | standard |
| TRD Pro | Double Cab | 33 in | 33 in (nominal) | 18-in TRD Pro black alloy | standard |
Read the table as a ladder. The SR and SR5 sit on 245/70R17 (30.5 in), the shortest tire of the year. The TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road step to 265/70R17 (31.6 in) on a 17-inch wheel, while the TRD Sport and Limited reach nearly the same height, 265/65R18 (31.6 in), on an 18-inch wheel with a shorter sidewall. One TRD Off-Road row is listed as "available" on an 18-in TRD Off-Road alloy with 265/70R18 (32.6 in), the tallest metric size of the year.
The 2024 Trailhunter and TRD Pro list a 33-inch tire, not a metric size
The brochure describes the Trailhunter and TRD Pro tire as 33 inches (Goodyear Territory R/T) and gives no metric size, so this guide publishes none for 2024. The 2026 rows for the same two trims, which do carry a metric size, list 265/70R18 (32.6 in); that is a different model year, so read the door placard on a 2024 truck rather than assuming it.
What changed from the 2023 Tacoma's tire sizes?
Almost everything. The last third-gen year, 2023, put every trim within 0.14 in of 30.6 in, on 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels with P-metric sizes. The 2024 range starts at 30.5 in and its tallest metric size reaches 32.6 in, 2.0 in taller than anything Toyota fitted the year before, with the 33-inch rows above that.
- The 16-inch wheel is gone. 5 of the 8 rows we hold for 2023 used one; no 2024 row does, and the 17-inch and 18-inch split now decides sidewall height.
- Tire height became a trim feature. In 2023 the TRD Pro's P265/70R16 and the SR's P245/75R16 were 0.14 in apart; in 2024 the gap from the SR and SR5 to the 33-inch trims is about 2.5 in.
- The wheel mounting changed with the generation: 6x139.7 is kept, but the hub bore drops from 106.1 mm to 95.1 mm and the studs move from M12x1.5 to M14x1.5. A set of 2023 wheels is not a drop-in swap on a 2024.
- The P prefix is gone from every 2024 size string in our data, the plainest textual sign of the new generation in the fitment file.
What is the best replacement tire size for a 2024 Tacoma?
For a straight replacement on a 2024, buy the size on your door placard. The factory size is what the speedometer, ABS, and stability control were set up for, and all 4 metric factory sizes of the year publish as stock-height bolt-ons in our reconciled rules, inside the modeled ceiling of 285/70R17 (32.7 in). A like-for-like tire in any tread type raises no clearance question.
- 245/70R17: SR and SR5, 30.5 in.
- 265/65R18: TRD Sport and Limited, 31.6 in.
- 265/70R17: TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road, 31.6 in.
- 265/70R18: TRD Off-Road, 32.6 in.
- 33 in: Trailhunter and TRD Pro. Replace from the placard and the sidewall, not from this guide, since the 2024 source gives no metric size for these trims.
At the factory size the real decision is tread. A highway or all-season tire suits a 2024 that lives on pavement; an all-terrain in the same size is the usual choice for owners who use the truck as a truck on dirt and snow, and our 2024 rows record all-terrain tires from the factory on the TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road.
Which upgrade sizes fit a 2024 Tacoma, and what does each need?
Every size below mounts on a wheel a 2024 truck already has and is taller than the shortest factory tire on that wheel. Each tier comes from our reconciled 4th-gen rules, the same answer the matching size page publishes, so 2 of the 11 sit at stock height, 5 need a leveling kit, and 4 need a lift.
| Size | Overall diameter | Section width | vs tallest factory size on that wheel | Fits from (4th gen) | Per-size clearance rule | Work listed at that tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 275/70R17 | 32.2 in | 10.8 in | +0.6 in vs 265/70R17 | Stock height | Minor changes | Remove mud flaps |
| 285/70R17 | 32.7 in | 11.2 in | +1.1 in vs 265/70R17 | Stock height | Minor changes | Remove mud flaps |
| 33x10.5R17 | 33.0 in | 10.5 in | +1.4 in vs 265/70R17 | Leveling kit (1-2 in) | Minor changes | Crash-plate removal (2 bolts, reversible); Light fender-liner trim at full lock |
| 33x12.5R17 | 33.0 in | 12.5 in | +1.4 in vs 265/70R17 | 3 in suspension lift | Trim as needed | Crash-plate removal; Forward-caster alignment; Minor plastic trim |
| 255/80R17 | 33.1 in | 10.0 in | +1.5 in vs 265/70R17 | Leveling kit (1-2 in) | Minor changes | Crash-plate removal (2 bolts, reversible); Light fender-liner trim at full lock |
| 295/70R17 | 33.3 in | 11.6 in | +1.7 in vs 265/70R17 | 3 in suspension lift | Trim as needed | Crash-plate removal; Forward-caster alignment; Minor plastic trim |
| 285/75R17 | 33.8 in | 11.2 in | +2.2 in vs 265/70R17 | Leveling kit (1-2 in) | Trim as needed | Crash-plate removal (2 bolts, reversible); Light fender-liner trim at full lock |
| 35x12.5R17 | 35.0 in | 12.5 in | +3.4 in vs 265/70R17 | 3 in suspension lift | Major clearance | Crash-plate removal; Forward-caster alignment; Minor plastic trim |
| 285/65R18 | 32.6 in | 11.2 in | Same height as 265/70R18 | Leveling kit (1-2 in) | Minor changes | Crash-plate removal (2 bolts, reversible); Light fender-liner trim at full lock |
| 275/70R18 | 33.2 in | 10.8 in | +0.6 in vs 265/70R18 | Leveling kit (1-2 in) | Minor changes | Crash-plate removal (2 bolts, reversible); Light fender-liner trim at full lock |
| 285/70R18 | 33.7 in | 11.2 in | +1.1 in vs 265/70R18 | 3 in suspension lift | Trim as needed | Crash-plate removal; Forward-caster alignment; Minor plastic trim |
The no-lift picks for a 2024 are 275/70R17 (stock height with minor changes) and 285/70R17 (stock height with minor changes). On a 17-inch truck, 275/70R17 is the gentle step at 32.2 in. On an 18-inch TRD Sport or Limited, the cleanest gain is 265/70R18, the size the 18-inch TRD Off-Road row already ships: 1.0 in taller than 265/65R18 and published at stock height.
Past stock height, 33x10.5R17, 255/80R17, 285/75R17, 285/65R18, and 275/70R18 need a leveling kit, and 33x12.5R17, 295/70R17, 35x12.5R17, and 285/70R18 are lift sizes on this truck.
Can a 2024 Tacoma run 33-inch tires?
Yes, and this is where the 2024 parts ways with the truck it replaced. On a 3rd gen our rules put 285/70R17 behind a 3 in suspension lift; on a 2024, 285/70R17 measures 32.7 in and our reconciled rules publish it at stock height with minor changes (the work the matrix lists at that tier: remove mud flaps). The taller 275/70R18, at 33.2 in, is a different story: it publishes behind a leveling kit (1-2 in) with minor changes.
Height has a cost on the dash. Going from the SR's 245/70R17 to 285/70R17 is 7.2% taller, so an indicated 70 mph is really about 75.1 mph until the speedometer is corrected. From the TRD Off-Road's 265/70R17 the same jump is 3.5%. On the 3.58 axle ratio our gear tools list for the 4th-gen 2.4T automatic, that tire makes the gearing behave like a 3.34.
The 2024 Trailhunter and TRD Pro start from different wheels
Our offset table lists +55 to +60 mm on the SR / SR5 / TRD Off-Road 17-18x7.5 and +20 to +25 mm on the TRD Pro / Trailhunter 18x8.5 (approximate OE values). A lower offset puts the same tire further out toward the liner, so a size the matrix clears on high-offset wheels can rub sooner on those two trims. Check at full lock before you go taller.
What should a 2024 Tacoma owner check before buying tires?
- Read the tire and loading placard in the driver's door jamb: it names the original size and cold pressures for your exact 2024 configuration.
- Check the sidewall of the tire on the truck. A 2024 that has changed hands may not be on its factory size anymore.
- If you are buying wheels as well, confirm they are made for the 95.1 mm hub; wheels from an earlier Tacoma need the right hub ring and lug nuts.
- Put your factory size and the upgrade into the tire size calculator for the height, width, and speedometer change, then run your trim, lift, and offset through the max tire size estimator.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on trim. The SR and SR5 run 245/70R17, the TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road run 265/70R17, the TRD Sport and Limited run 265/65R18, and the Trailhunter and TRD Pro run a tire the brochure calls 33 inches. An 18-inch TRD Off-Road row lists 265/70R18. Confirm your size on the driver's door placard.
Our 2024 source does not give one: it states a 33-inch tire with no metric size, so we publish none for that year. The 2026 rows for both trims list 265/70R18 (32.6 in), but the placard on a 2024 truck is the authority.
Our reconciled 4th-gen rules publish 285/70R17 (32.7 in) at stock height with minor changes (at that tier the clearance matrix lists: remove mud flaps). That is a modeled estimate, so confirm at full steering lock, especially on the lower-offset TRD Pro and Trailhunter wheels.
Not directly. Both use 6x139.7, but the 2024's hub bore is 95.1 mm against 106.1 mm on the 3rd gen, and its studs are M14x1.5 rather than M12x1.5. Older wheels need a hub-centric ring and lug nuts for the new studs, and the offset change moves the tire as well.
For a midsize pickup that mostly commutes, the factory size is the best answer: 245/70R17 on the SR and SR5, 265/70R17 on the TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road, 265/65R18 on the TRD Sport and Limited. If you want a little more height without a lift, 275/70R17 on 17-inch wheels publishes at stock height with minor changes.
