So, a very open ended question. What year, oprion Tacoma? Tire size is a wild card. Toyata spends millions of $$$ coming up with the correct balance. Generally yeah sure you can do anything within 10% of those engineered spacs. BUT upsizing the tires will have very few positive performance plusses. Guaranteed you will lose MPG, you will lose passing performance, you will increase stress beyond what the factory intended. You need to ask beyong "ego" are there any performance gains because yes if you address the extra driveline stress, if you accept worse mileage, range, you can do anything. But look beyond joining the club. Look at the goals YOU have. Decide on the best way to get there. Bigger tires are not the holy grail or the manufacturers would all offer factory 44s.
The guarantee is bigger tire will hurt fuel economy, will hurt braking capability, will add stress to all mechanical components, will hurt passing ability, will hurt acceleration, will make it harder to climb over that log, rock, will affect the life of your torque converter, clutch. Yes you can overcome some of those negatives with a regear, but not all of them. WHY do you want bigger rubber? I have seen sooo many vehicles on virtually stock rubber do the incredible I rate tires like boobs, really who cares......... or penises.
And that is not to say I am against tire size, I've had F250s with 40s, a YJ with 33s, a TJR with 35s, I'm just saying BIG tires are not the holy grail unless you win the lottery. Any bump within 10% of factory is not going to kill the bank account but will it actually add capability. I say likely NO. North America is obsessed with bigger. But watch the reat of theworld. We are the anomoly.
