35x12.5xR17 Tires Not Worth the Compromises on my 2022 Tundra

- I briefly installed a set of aftermarket wheels with 35x12.5xR17 tires on my 2022 Tundra, but the good looks weren't worth the compromises. Here's why I took them off.

Those 20" rims weigh about 35-37 lbs, so if you are saying the tires are only 13-15 lbs you are full of it. Average weight of a 20" Toyota rim and stock tire is 74 lbs. Your axles are leaking because you put a 2" lift up front without a diff drop which changed the drive line angle and put too much stress on the CV joint boots. I've seen it a 100 times. Do some real research.
Thank you for this honest review. Very informative. Keep up all these relevant findings with your Tundra. Signed, One happy subscriber of yours.
Super clean build & I love the blue color. Really nice!!
Thanks for sharing, great content.
Your stock just went up. This review was super helpful on considerations prior to purchase of wheels! Unfortunately you took the hit for all of us. Thanks for the review!!!
Learned my lesson with that on a 2013 rock warrior. Plenary of power but could barely make it between gas stations and the truck gear hunted constantly.
I appreciate this update and information, keep it up
I got the same setup ordered and on its way for my 2023 Tundra.
So I see the tire weight, you went to a tire thats 70lbs in weight plus the wheel which is 40lbs, so 110 per wheel.
VS 50, thats twice the weight.
Now you saying you have 20in wheels, 35s on stock Tundra? How did you manage that? Dont you have to do a lift or spacers? The setup that you have thats NOT heavy is 20in wheels with 35s tires? Or can you be more specific on the wheel and tire size and if its stock or lifted?
Im VERY VERY curious, cause if this is the case, then ima cancel my order. I would appreciate your feedback on this.
You said 16mpg currently is that city or highway ?
On your now revised setup are you still using the level kit? Or, 35’s are fitting on stock?
Yes I still have the leveling kit installed and a 1" lift in the rear
Is it safe to say that a smaller wheel that leads to more tire to reach your final size is always going to be heavier? I'm asking because I'm considering a smaller rim size to replace my current 20" wheels. I'll stick with the 20s if this helps manage weight and fuel efficiency.
just look at specs on wheels and tire.. i notice that a bigger wheel doesn't mean a lighter weight tire... a tire for a bigger wheel also cost a ton more aswell for some reason. you best bet is to get a good lightweight 17" wheel and a good tire for that size to save money.
Those Goodyear Fierce Attitude MT's are listed as 64# in that 35/12.5/20 size (without wheels), so don't see how you are 50#/each wheels and tires.
Correct, the Goodyear is 64lbs. The Yoko is 70lbs. Not a huge difference.
17x8.5 +35mm Method Bead Grip 706 wheels would have solved your weight and fitment issues, maybe even damage issues because the farther the tire sticks out the more stress it puts on componants. Also 50lbs for your stock 20 inch wheels and 35x12.50r20 tires is impossible, thats a 15 to 20 pound tire.
That’s the same wheel I’m looking at.
I put 35x11.5 recon grapplers on the 20" TRD wheels with new coilovers and while I don't get quite as cool of a front/rear profile it still drives like stock with a much better look.
Hey Trey. What kind of coil overs did you get?
@@d_lo638 procomp pro vst 2.5. They're no kings but definitely handle better than stock.
You have to be rubbing on sway bar with that set up ?
Purple army member, truck looks great. You need to do a video with your brother at the new house.
My 23 SR5 has SCS F5 wheels @25lbs and 275 70 18 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs @54lbs. So 80lbs total each wheel.
Got 38's on my tundra. 81 lbs per tire and 23lbs per wheel. That's 103lbs. Not sure what tire wheel combo you had but that's an extreme weight combo for only 35 inch tire and 17 inch wheel.
Ive found it pays to spend time on tire rack and/or tire and wheel manufactures websites looking at the specs for each tire and wheel before buying.
The leveling kit most likely killed those cv boots, trd/pro models have longer cv axles to handle additional lift and angles for articulation.
Was the leaking axel seals covered by the factory warranty??
Not before jumping through a few hoops
@@DrivenCompanion What hoops? :) I need to have this info available if I ever encounter the same issue haha
I have 1794 with 6.5 long bed I replace tires 33 12.5-22 12 ply and 22 x10-12 “ wheels On the city I can get 17 miles per gallon on the highway 15 mpg before I put those big wheel I was getting on the city 17 miles on the highway 20
You lose almost 5 gallons on the highway with the big wheels and tires in my truck is a hybrid
How did stock rims and 35” get you to 50lbs? Doesn’t the 20” rim weigh 44lbs by itself?
I went back you your original tire video … the Goodyears you put on are 64lb tire with no rim.. also thought trd off road was 44lbs. You quoted the tire at 62lbs for tire alone. So isn’t this also over 100lbs at each wheel? @drivencompanion
Perhaps my scale was giving out false numbers... sound like maybe I need to re-weigh. Either way there was a substantial difference in weight
@@DrivenCompanion how much do the 17” rims weigh?
@@mattklein8752 I got the same rims, but the RR6 version, which is 1lbs difference from RR7.
The rims are 27lbs each, and the tire is 70lbs. Thats 97lbs total.
Im just very curious as he said, his setup is 10in with 35s on. Just the 20in rim alone is around 30lbs each, but those are not mud tires he put on, but the size increased.
So somehow I think the weights are almost identical. Maybe im off a bit, but not quite by a lot.
He was pushing 400lbs total in tire/wheel weights VS the 20in wheels which cant be less than 350lbs total.
Maybe im wrong. Perhaps he can clarify it.
how are 20" wheels that much heavier than 17's?
Its that the tires are heavier with a smaller wheel. The rubber is heavier than the wheel.
Seen your truck across the street at my folks house a few days ago. I’m Matt’s buddy that has the 2022 SR model in white. I was gonna say hi but you left before I could do that.
Matt mentioned it. Say hi next time! Would love to check out your truck too.
@@DrivenCompanion perfect!!!
I think u should get the 2023 Trd pro.
I wouldn't argue with that!
13 mpg ? Thought this truck was hybrid
You should actually weight the stuff. 17s and 20s with the same overall diameter it's almost ALWAYS heavier going up in wheel size. A stock 20 inch wheel and mud tire weighs much more than 50 lbs.
Damn i was debating on getting a Tundra, and this confirmed that im keeping my truck. I get 23-26 MPGs on 17s and 35s on my diesel Sierra 1500. Still also responsive as stock. Spunds like that new Tundra fell short for enthusiasts.
So why is there rubbing if you use a 12.50 width tire on the stock TRD pro wheel when you use the Toyota dealer installed TRD lift kit? It seems a few people chose 11.50 instead of 12.50 width wheels because they were rubbing on one of the bars. When Toyota introduced this kit last year at SEMA they were using TRD wheels with 35x12.50 nitto grapplers. Why would they provide this false advertising. Last thing I want is a skinny tire after installing a 4k Toyota made lift kit. Have you heard about this issue?
I haven't heard of this but perhaps the offset on the Pro wheels is different?
It does rub on sway bar
This man is the perfect example of someone that has no idea of basic mechanics and low end physics. RPM, leaking axles, weight, etc.
Morale of the story, Do your research before modifying your vehicle. This man knows enough to be dangerous. He is clueless.
You're way off on your math here. There's no way you have a 50lb heavier wheel/tire combo on the 17s.
I'll do a reweigh at some point to confirm... Perhaps my scale wasn't working properly
I wonder how 35s on your Ford EV would do 🤔
Haha... not well
looking up the weight for a 35" tire 17" vs 20" is within 2lb weight difference. your scales broken
Its actually 64lbs to 70lbs. So 6lbs difference, but yeah.
@@CP-fz4sr maybe you were looking up a different tire and wheel than me? Idk I just did a quick search anyways.
@@curtischornohos6365 You could be right. I did some search and the stock rim is 26lbs, the 18in. The 20in is 31lbs. As far as the stock 18in tire, thats 40lbs. So total each wheel went up by 35lbs if you go with the 35x12.5R17. Which is NOT bad.
@@CP-fz4sr yeah I have a set of 17” wheels im gonna put on mine this spring with a 35. Going up to a 20” doesn’t sound like the play to me
@@curtischornohos6365 Im actually in the process of doing that based on another YT video the guy did. TRD Jon I believe is his YT name. He put 35s on a stock 2022, and all he did was remove the back wheel well metal block I(there is a small 2in metal block that can be removed, its behind the carpet, on the back of the front wheel). And you just have to push the front of the wheel carpet a bit. Thats all.
He went with the RR6-H wheels with Grappler 35 12.50R17 and no issues. I just ordered the RR6-H wheels, and should be here around start to mid Dec, its on Pre-Order. Good price too.
The weight difference will be approx 30lbs per wheel for the larger 35s.
Ouch on the gas mileage. My hybrid platinum is average 21mpg on stock.
i'm getting 18.2 mpg (stock- Tundra Lmtd- OR- NH) average over 500 miles at 80-82 mph- I am not going to complain. I could get mph higher driving at 75 mph but that's hard to do.
Wheel and tire together 50 pounds that's it? Hard to believe
I’m the end of the day it’s a Toyota tundra
don't buy cheap American wheels lol
V6 turbo cannot handle 35s
What? 😅
@jeremysmith7793 long term longevity
It can handle them fine bud
@@davidsmith2517 yea for 80k until the engine or turbo fails
