2024 Toyota Tundra Tire Size, Pressure & Wheel Specs

As an ASE-certified master technician, I regularly field questions from truck owners looking to upgrade or replace their tires. The third-generation Toyota Tundra (2022–present) brought significant changes to the chassis and suspension, which also introduced new wheel and tire specifications compared to previous generations. Whether you are towing a heavy load, hitting the trails in a TRD Pro, or just commuting, knowing your 2024 Toyota Tundra's tire and wheel specs is critical for safety and performance.

Here is your comprehensive reference guide for the 2024 Toyota Tundra.

Quick answer

• OEM Tire Size: 245/75R18 (Base SR) up to 265/50R22 (Capstone), with 265/70R18 and 265/60R20 being the most common.
• Recommended Cold Tire Pressure: 35 to 37 PSI front and rear (always verify with your driver-side door jamb placard).
• Bolt Pattern: 6x139.7 mm (6x5.5 inches). Note: This changed from the 5-lug pattern used on older (2007–2021) Tundras!
• Wheel Size & Offset: 18x7.5 to 22x8, with a standard factory offset around +60mm.
• Load Index / Speed Rating: Typically 112T to 116T (TRD Pro comes with 116T rating).
• Spare Tire Size: Full-size spare standard on most trims (size matches OEM trim spec, often on a steel wheel).
• TPMS Frequency: 433 MHz.

Tire sizes by trim

Tire sizes on the 2024 Tundra vary significantly based on the trim level and whether the vehicle is equipped with the TRD Off-Road package.

Note: SR5, Limited, and 1794 Edition models equipped with the TRD Off-Road package typically receive an upgraded 18-inch or 20-inch all-terrain tire with different tread patterns.

Recommended replacement tires

When it is time to replace the rubber on your Tundra, you want a tire that matches your driving habits. Here are a few highly recommended options across different price tiers:

• Michelin Defender LTX M/S (Premium): The gold standard for highway driving, towing, and longevity. Incredible wet traction and a very quiet ride.
• Falken Wildpeak A/T3W or A/T4W (Mid-Tier / All-Terrain): Excellent for Tundra owners who want aggressive off-road capability and severe snow ratings without sacrificing too much highway comfort.
• BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 (Premium / All-Terrain): A rugged, durable classic. Standard on many off-road builds and great for puncture resistance on the trail.
• Kumho Crugen HT51 (Budget-Friendly): A solid, affordable highway terrain tire that offers decent tread life and a comfortable ride for daily commuting.

When to inflate to max load psi

While the Toyota Tundra is a half-ton (light-duty) truck and not a heavy-duty (HD) 3/4-ton or 1-ton pickup, payload and towing still dictate your tire pressure needs.

For normal daily driving unloaded, stick to the 35–37 PSI listed on your door placard. However, if you upgrade to Load Range E (10-ply) tires for towing heavy travel trailers, the standard 35 PSI will feel mushy and can cause excessive heat buildup. When fully loaded to the Tundra’s max payload capacity, you may need to inflate LT-metric tires to 50-60 PSI in the rear. Always consult the tire manufacturer's load/inflation tables if you switch from standard (P-metric) to Light Truck (LT) tires, and never exceed the "Max Cold Press" stamped on the tire sidewall (usually 80 PSI for Load Range E).

Lug nut torque & pattern

If you are rotating your own tires or installing a flat spare, getting the lug nut torque right is crucial to prevent warped rotors or a lost wheel.

• Bolt Pattern: 6x139.7 mm
• Lug Nut Size: M14 x 1.5
• Lug Nut Torque: 97 lb-ft (131 Nm)

Always use a calibrated torque wrench and tighten the lug nuts in a star (crisscross) pattern to ensure even clamping force. Re-check the torque after 50 to 100 miles of driving.

Common tire issues for this vehicle

• Premature Shoulder Wear: Because of the Tundra's weight and independent front suspension, aggressive cornering can wear down the outer shoulders of the front tires. Regular 5,000-mile tire rotations are essential.
• Alignment Sensitivity: If the Tundra is lifted (even with a basic leveling kit), the caster and camber geometry changes. Failing to get a specialized alignment post-lift will cause rapid inner or outer tread wear.
• TPMS Sensor Damage: The 433 MHz TPMS sensors are mounted to the valve stems. Inexperienced tire technicians can easily snap these during dismounting. Ensure your shop knows how to properly service Toyota TPMS systems.
