Recommended Tire Sizes for the 2025 Toyota Tacoma Midsize Pickup
Short answer
Our data puts the 2025 Toyota Tacoma midsize pickup on 245/70R17 (SR and SR5), 265/70R17 (TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road gas), 265/65R18 (TRD Sport and Limited), and a nominal 33-inch tire (TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro). That is the common factory pattern, not a sourced trim mapping, so confirm yours on the door placard.
What tire sizes does the 2025 Toyota Tacoma use?
The 2025 Tacoma is the second year of the fourth-generation midsize pickup, and on tires it reads as a carryover: the 3 metric sizes in our 2025 rows are the same ones the 2024 rows carry, on the same 17-inch and 18-inch wheels. What is different about 2025 is how much we can vouch for. Our dataset holds 6 rows for the year, and 3 of them group two trims under one label, so the table below is the size pattern for the year rather than a trim-by-trim spec sheet.
2025 is the unverified year of the fourth generation
The 2024 and 2026 rows carry trim-level Toyota sourcing; the 2025 rows do not. Treat every 2025 size on this page as the common factory pattern for the year, and read the door placard before you order tires.
| Trim | Configuration | Stock size | Overall diameter | Wheel | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR / SR5 | base 17-in tire configurations | 245/70R17 | 30.5 in | 17-in steel or styled alloy | likely standard by trim/configuration |
| TRD PreRunner / TRD Off-Road gas | 17-in all-terrain configurations | 265/70R17 | 31.6 in | 17-in TRD alloy | likely standard by trim/configuration |
| TRD Sport / Limited | 18-in all-season configurations | 265/65R18 | 31.6 in | 18-in alloy | likely standard by trim/configuration |
| TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX | Double Cab 5-ft bed | 33 in | 33 in (nominal) | 18-in alloy | standard |
| Trailhunter | Double Cab | 33 in | 33 in (nominal) | 18-in bronze-finished wheel | standard |
| TRD Pro | Double Cab | 33 in | 33 in (nominal) | 18-in black alloy | standard |
Three groups run metric sizes: the SR and SR5 on 245/70R17 (30.5 in), the TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road gas on 265/70R17 (31.6 in), and the TRD Sport and Limited on 265/65R18 (31.6 in). Three rows, the TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro, are recorded only as a 33-inch tire on an 18-inch wheel, and three rows carry the availability hedge "likely standard by trim/configuration".
Why are the 2025 sizes listed as a pattern instead of a spec?
Because the trim mapping for 2025 rests on continuity, not on a 2025 trim table. The dataset lists 2 Toyota documents for the year (Toyota 2025 Tacoma Owner's Manual tire and wheel specs and Toyota 2025 Tacoma pressroom release), but they were read for which sizes exist that year, not for which trim gets which size, and no 2025 brochure is in the source set. The assignment of sizes to trims is carried over from the 2024 and 2026 rows on either side.
- 3 of the 6 rows bundle trims (SR / SR5, TRD PreRunner / TRD Off-Road gas, and TRD Sport / Limited), so the data cannot tell a 2025 TRD Sport from a 2025 Limited on tire size.
- 3 rows say "likely standard by trim/configuration" where a verified year would say "standard". This page prints the hedge as written rather than rounding it up.
- 3 rows state "33 in" with no metric size: TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX (Falken WildPeak), Trailhunter (Goodyear Rugged-Terrain), and TRD Pro (Goodyear). We will not publish a metric size for any of them.
How do you tell which size your 2025 Tacoma has?
Start with the wheel, because on a 2025 it narrows the answer before you read a single sidewall. Measure or look up the rim diameter, then match it to the groups below, and finish at the door placard, which is the only per-truck record of the factory size.
- 17-inch wheel: 245/70R17 (30.5 in) on the SR and SR5 and 265/70R17 (31.6 in) on the TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road gas.
- 18-inch wheel: 265/65R18 (31.6 in) on the TRD Sport and Limited and 33 in (nominal) on the TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro.
Inside a wheel size the tire type is the next tell. Our 2025 rows record all-season, all-terrain, and rugged-terrain tires, and the off-road groups are the ones on all-terrain or rugged-terrain tread. A 2025 on 18-inch wheels and a road-biased tire is most likely the 265/65R18 group; one on 18s with an aggressive, named-brand tire is most likely one of the 33-inch rows, and its exact size has to come from the placard.
What changed between the 2024, 2025, and 2026 records?
Very little in the metric sizes and one thing in the 18-inch off-road row. The TRD Off-Road on 18-inch wheels is recorded differently in each of the three fourth-gen years we hold, which is the clearest sign of why 2025 deserves a placard check:
- 2024: TRD Off-Road (available 18-in wheel row) on 265/70R18 (32.6 in), listed as "available".
- 2025: TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX (Double Cab 5-ft bed) on 33 in (nominal), Falken WildPeak, listed as "standard".
- 2026: TRD Off-Road (Premium Package gas configurations) on 265/65R18 (31.6 in), listed as "package".
- 2026: TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX (Double Cab) on 265/70R18 (32.6 in), Falken WildPeak, listed as "standard".
The verified 2026 rows also give the Trailhunter and TRD Pro a metric size, 265/70R18 (32.6 in), a little under the 33 inches the earlier rows state. That is a different model year and it does not tell you what a 2025 left the factory on; it does suggest reading "33 in" as a size class rather than a measurement.
Which upgrade sizes fit a 2025 Tacoma?
The fitment side of a 2025 is on firmer ground than its trim table, because clearance follows the fourth-gen chassis, not the trim mapping. Every size below mounts on a 2025 wheel and is taller than the shortest 2025 tire on that wheel; 3 of the 12 publish at stock height in our reconciled rules, 5 behind a leveling kit, and 4 behind 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 | +1.0 in vs 265/65R18 | Leveling kit (1-2 in) | Minor changes | Crash-plate removal (2 bolts, reversible); Light fender-liner trim at full lock |
| 265/70R18 | 32.6 in | 10.4 in | +1.0 in vs 265/65R18 | Stock height | No trimming | Remove mud flaps |
| 275/70R18 | 33.2 in | 10.8 in | +1.6 in vs 265/65R18 | 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 | +2.1 in vs 265/65R18 | 3 in suspension lift | Trim as needed | Crash-plate removal; Forward-caster alignment; Minor plastic trim |
On a 2025 TRD Sport or Limited, the standout is 265/70R18. It mounts on the same 18-inch wheel, stands 1.0 in taller than 265/65R18, keeps the same 10.4 in section width, and publishes at stock height. It is also the size the verified 2026 rows put on the TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro.
On the 17-inch groups the no-lift choices are 275/70R17 (stock height with minor changes) and 285/70R17 (stock height with minor changes), both inside the modeled stock ceiling of 285/70R17 at 32.7 in.
Do 33-inch tires fit a 2025 Tacoma?
On 17-inch wheels, yes: 285/70R17 at 32.7 in publishes at stock height with minor changes (at that tier the matrix lists: remove mud flaps). On 18-inch wheels the tallest stock-height size is 265/70R18 at 32.6 in; the taller 275/70R18, at 33.2 in, publishes behind a leveling kit (1-2 in) with minor changes.
If your 2025 is one of the three nominal 33-inch rows, its tire is already about as tall as the stock-height ceiling in our model (32.7 in), so the next step up is a leveling-kit size such as 285/75R17 (33.8 in, behind a leveling kit (1-2 in) with trim as needed) on a 17-inch wheel, or a lift. Read the exact factory size off the placard before comparing, since our data has no metric size for those trucks.
Plan for the speedometer either way. 265/65R18 to 265/70R18 is 3.3% taller, so an indicated 65 mph is really about 67.1 mph; 265/70R17 to 285/70R17 puts an indicated 65 at about 67.3 mph. Run your own pair through the speedometer correction calculator before you buy.
2025 Tacoma tire pages by trim
Each 2025 trim has its own page with the size our data records for it, the same pattern framing as this guide, and tire picks in that size.
Frequently asked questions
Our data records 245/70R17 on the SR and SR5, 265/70R17 on the TRD PreRunner and TRD Off-Road gas, 265/65R18 on the TRD Sport and Limited, and a nominal 33-inch tire on the TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro. For 2025 that is the common factory pattern rather than a sourced trim mapping. Confirm the exact size on the driver's door placard or the tire sidewall before you buy.
Our 2025 rows state only "33 in" on an 18-inch wheel for those three trims, with no metric size, so we do not publish one. The 2026 Trailhunter and TRD Pro rows list 265/70R18, but that is a different model year. The door placard on your truck is the authority.
Yes, in our reconciled 4th-gen rules: 265/70R18 publishes at stock height. It is 1.0 in taller than the 265/65R18 recorded for those trims and mounts on the same 18-inch wheel. Confirm your factory size on the placard first, since the 2025 trim mapping is a pattern.
The metric sizes are: every one in our 2025 rows also appears in the 2024 rows. The differences are in the records, not the rubber we can see: 2025 groups trims together, hedges availability, and lists the 18-inch TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX on a nominal 33-inch tire.
For a midsize pickup that mostly sees pavement, keep the placard size and choose the tread for your roads. If you want more height without a lift, 285/70R17 on 17-inch wheels publishes at stock height with minor changes, and 265/70R18 on 18-inch wheels publishes at stock height.
