Tacoma tire size

245/75R16 on a Toyota Tacoma.

What 245/75R16 measures, which Tacoma trims ship it from the factory, and what our fitment model says it takes to run it by generation.

Will it fit

245/75R16 is a factory Toyota Tacoma tire size: our fitment data records it on 10 trim rows across 2017-2023 — SR / SR5 (2021-2023), SR5 (2023), and SR / SR5 4-cylinder (2017-2020).

  • At stock height our fitment model clears 245/75R16 on every generation that runs 16-inch wheels: 1st gen Tacoma (modeled ceiling 30.6 in), 2nd gen Tacoma (modeled ceiling 30.6 in), and 3rd gen Tacoma (modeled ceiling 31.6 in).
  • 245/75R16 measures 30.5 in tall and 9.6 in wide, with 7.2 in of sidewall on a 16-inch wheel and about 662 revolutions per mile.
  • Our per-size candidate table asks for Factory height with no trimming before fitting 245/75R16; the tiers on this page publish whichever of that and the generation ceiling is stricter.
  • 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 are not proven against a year-specific Toyota document, so the 245/75R16 rows for those years are the common factory pattern rather than a verified trim mapping. Confirm the exact size on the driver's door placard or the tire sidewall before you buy.

Which Tacomas come with 245/75R16

Our fitment data holds 10 factory rows on 245/75R16, spanning 2017 to 2023, all of them on the 3rd gen Tacoma: SR / SR5 (2021-2023), SR5 (2023), and SR / SR5 4-cylinder (2017-2020). That is what makes 245/75R16 a replacement question for those trucks rather than an upgrade question.

The wheels under those 245/75R16 rows are 16-in styled steel, 16-in dark gray alloy, 16-in black or dark gray alloy, and 16-in styled steel or alloy, and the tire itself is recorded as all-season. 7 of the 10 rows are package- or configuration-dependent rather than a plain standard fitment, so two trucks wearing the same badge can leave the factory on different tires.

A sourcing caution on 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020: those model years are not proven against a year-specific Toyota document, so the 245/75R16 rows there are the common factory pattern for the year rather than a sourced trim mapping. The 2021, 2022, and 2023 rows carrying 245/75R16 are the sourced ones. Confirm the exact size on the driver's door placard or the tire sidewall before you buy.

Will 245/75R16 fit a Tacoma?

245/75R16 is a 16-inch size, so the generations it can go on without new wheels are the ones our size families run on 16-inch rims: 1st gen Tacoma (1995-2004), 2nd gen Tacoma (2005-2015), and 3rd gen Tacoma (2016-2023). Two sources in this repo have an opinion about 245/75R16 on each of them — the per-generation clearance matrix behind our max-tire estimator, and the per-size candidate table behind the recommender — and where they disagree, the stricter of the two is what you read below.

1st gen Tacoma (1995-2004)

3 in suspension lift33x10.50R15 (33s, about 33.0 in)Inside the ceiling

On a 1st gen Tacoma our matrix models stock height at 265/75R15 (~30 in), a modeled 30.6 in. 245/75R16 measures 30.5 in, 0.1 in shorter than that ceiling, so the modeled read is that it clears with no suspension work and no trimming.

Both sources land in the same place for 245/75R16 on a 1st gen Tacoma: the candidate table files it as factory-style at Factory height with no trimming — the rule-set's own generation-agnostic description of the size reads "A stock-like 16-inch choice for base third-gen fitments." — and the matrix agrees at stock height. The matrix note at that tier reads: First-gen wells are tight; stay near stock diameter.

One sourcing caveat for the 1st gen Tacoma: our per-year fitment rows start at 2017, so nothing in this repo assigns 245/75R16 to a 1995-2004 trim. The 16-inch family we list for that span is a long-running community-documented pattern, not a verified per-year spec, and the ceilings above are the estimator's rule-set for the generation rather than measurements from a 1995-2004 truck.

On a 2nd gen Tacoma our matrix models stock height at 265/70R16 (~30.6 in). 245/75R16 measures 30.5 in, 0.1 in shorter than that ceiling, so the modeled read is that it clears with no suspension work and no trimming.

Both sources land in the same place for 245/75R16 on a 2nd gen Tacoma: the candidate table files it as factory-style at Factory height with no trimming — the rule-set's own generation-agnostic description of the size reads "A stock-like 16-inch choice for base third-gen fitments." — and the matrix agrees at stock height. The matrix note at that tier reads: Stock-class sizes only without trimming.

One sourcing caveat for the 2nd gen Tacoma: our per-year fitment rows start at 2017, so nothing in this repo assigns 245/75R16 to a 2005-2015 trim. The 16-inch family we list for that span is a long-running community-documented pattern, not a verified per-year spec, and the ceilings above are the estimator's rule-set for the generation rather than measurements from a 2005-2015 truck.

The 3rd gen Tacoma ships 245/75R16 from the factory on SR / SR5, SR5, and SR / SR5 4-cylinder, so on this generation it is a stock fitment rather than an upgrade. Our matrix puts a stock-height 3rd gen Tacoma at 265/70R17 (~31.6 in), and 245/75R16 at 30.5 in sits inside that ceiling — which is the agreement you would expect from a size Toyota fitted itself.

Both sources land in the same place for 245/75R16 on a 3rd gen Tacoma: the candidate table files it as factory-style at Factory height with no trimming — the rule-set's own description of the size reads "A stock-like 16-inch choice for base third-gen fitments." — and the matrix agrees at stock height. The matrix note at that tier reads: 265/75R16 is the no-rub 'holy grail' on 16s. True 33s do not fit stock.

Every tier above is modeled output of our own fitment rule-set applied to 245/75R16, not an install anyone here measured: wheel offset, alignment, mud flaps, and the tire model's real moulded width all move where 245/75R16 starts rubbing. Where the two sources behind those tiers disagree, the number you see is the conservative one.

245/75R16 vs the nearest Tacoma sizes

These are the 3 sizes closest to 245/75R16 in overall diameter that also run 16-inch wheels, so every swap in the table is a tire change rather than a wheel change. The set runs from 245/75R16 at 30.5 in to 285/75R16 at 32.8 in, and 265/70R16 is a factory Tacoma size. Speedometer error is calculated against 245/75R16 at 30.5 in — the size the truck would be calibrated for if it wore this page's tire.

SizeDiameterWidthSidewallRevs / mileSpeedo at an indicated 60

285/75R1632.8 in11.2 in8.4 in614+7.75% · 64.7 mph

That last column is the error you would carry after the swap, before any recalibration: fitting 285/75R16 in place of 245/75R16 puts true speed at 64.7 mph when the speedometer still reads 60. 265/75R16 and 285/75R16 sit outside the 3 percent window our speedometer calculator treats as the safe band against 245/75R16, so those are recalibration territory. Width moves on its own axis: the widest of them, 285/75R16, is 1.6 in wider than 245/75R16, and section width is what reaches the fender liner and the upper control arm first.

Top-ranked 245/75R16 tires for a Tacoma

Our tire research dataset lists 17 models offered in 245/75R16 — the size that 10 Tacoma factory rows in our data run, recorded as all-season fitments. Below are the 3 best-ranked highway / all-season models offered in it, plus the mild all-terrain Firestone Destination A/T2 for contrast — built for a different job, so it scores on different axes.

Scores are a 0-10 editorial synthesis of published reviews, manufacturer specifications, and retailer fitment data — not tires we tested ourselves. Which models are offered in 245/75R16 is the research dataset's own size catalog, which is why a thinly-catalogued size returns a short list here rather than a padded one. The order above is that dataset's editorial rank; the 0-10 badge is the blended score behind it, so a higher badge on a lower-ranked model is the two measures disagreeing rather than a mistake.
