What P265/60R18 measures on a 2021 Tacoma Limited Nightshade package
P265/60R18 is 265 mm wide at a 60 percent sidewall ratio on an 18-inch wheel. Through standard tire math that is 30.5 in of overall diameter, 10.4 in of section width, a 6.3 in sidewall, and about 661 revolutions per mile — the figures behind the 2021 Limited Nightshade package's speedometer calibration. That package is package on Double Cab Limited package, riding 18-in dark smoke alloy wheels.
Note the P prefix on the 2021 Limited Nightshade package's factory size (P265/60R18): that is a P-metric passenger-rated tire, not an LT light-truck size. The same 265/60R18 in LT form runs a stiffer casing, a higher load rating, and more weight.
P265/60R18 is not exclusive to the Limited Nightshade package in 2021: Limited runs it too. Wheel finish, package content, and drivetrain separate those trims rather than tire size, so a tire that fits one fits the others.
Bigger tires on a 2021 Tacoma Limited Nightshade package
Staying on the factory 18-inch wheel of a 2021 Limited Nightshade package, 1 size in our candidate set clears at stock height with no lift and no trimming, and inside the modeled stock ceiling of 31.6 in: 265/65R18 at 31.6 in. Set against the 2021 Limited Nightshade package's P265/60R18, the closest of them comes out 1.0 in taller and the same width. Current TRD Sport and Limited 18-inch factory-class size.
Past that, the 18-inch sizes our set offers a 2021 Limited Nightshade package need suspension or clearance work: 285/65R18 (32.6 in) sits behind a level / 1-2 in setup with minor changes, 265/70R18 (32.6 in) clears our candidate table at factory height but sits above the modeled stock ceiling for a 3rd gen Tacoma (31.6 in), so we publish the conservative read: plan for a leveling kit, and 275/70R18 (33.2 in) sits behind a level / 1-2 in setup with minor changes. Those tiers come from our fitment rule-set, not a truck we measured; lower-offset wheels push each one harder into the fender.
Add a leveling kit and our generation fitment matrix estimates a 3rd gen Tacoma at 275/70R17 (~32.2 in) — 1.7 in taller than the 2021 Limited Nightshade package's P265/60R18. Clearance work it lists: Remove mud flaps. 285/70R17 (33s) fits street-only with fender-liner trim + heat gun, but rubs off-road at full lock. These are modeled estimates, not measured installs: offset, alignment, and the tire's real moulded size all move the answer.
Where the Limited Nightshade package sits in the 2021 Tacoma lineup
Sorted by factory tire diameter, the 2021 Tacoma trims we cover run from P245/75R16 at 30.5 in (SR and SR5) up to P265/70R16 at 30.6 in (TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and SR5 Trail package). The Limited Nightshade package's P265/60R18 is 2nd of the 4 distinct sizes in that spread: 3 trims run a taller factory tire and 2 run a shorter one.
Context on the source data: 2021 through 2022 share the same factory tire lineup, and 2021 sits inside that span. Nothing in the sources separates those years at the trim level, so a Limited Nightshade package from any of them should read the same on the placard.

Scores are a 0-10 editorial synthesis of published reviews, manufacturer specifications, and retailer fitment data — not tires we tested ourselves. Availability in 265/60R18 for the 2021 Limited Nightshade package comes from that dataset's own size catalog, and the shortlist follows the dataset's editorial rank — the 0-10 figure beside each pick is the blended score, one input to that rank rather than the thing it sorts on, so a model further down the rank can carry a higher number.

2021 Tacoma Limited Nightshade package tire questions
Our two sources disagree here, so this page publishes the conservative one. On the 2021 Limited Nightshade package's factory wheel the nearest 33-class size in our candidate set is 285/65R18 at 32.6 in, and our per-size rules put it behind a level / 1-2 in setup with minor changes; the generation matrix is looser, putting a stock-height 3rd gen Tacoma at 265/70R17 (~31.6 in). Plan for the leveling kit, and treat both as modeled estimates rather than installs we measured.
Our data lists the 2021 Limited Nightshade package on 18-in dark smoke alloy — an 18-inch wheel. Across the whole 2021 range we cover 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels, so wheel diameter is one of the things that changes between trims. Keeping the factory diameter keeps the sidewall the truck was tuned for, and it keeps the tire choices in our size data open to you.
On a 2021 Limited Nightshade package, P265/60R18 works out to 30.5 in of overall diameter and 10.4 in of section width, on an 18-inch wheel with a 6.3 in sidewall. The math is the standard one: 265 mm of width at a 60 percent ratio gives the sidewall, and diameter is the 18-inch rim plus twice that sidewall. At that size the tire turns about 661 revolutions per mile.
On the 2021 Limited Nightshade package's factory wheel, 265/65R18 is the nearest step up in our candidate set at 31.6 in — current TRD Sport and Limited 18-inch factory-class size. Our rules rate its fitment risk low from stock height on factory offset, and it clears at stock height with no trimming, inside the modeled ceiling of 31.6 in.
