The 2019 Tundra TRD Pro came with 18” wheels and Michelin P275/65R18 tires.  When you say beefy looking tires what tires are you switching to?  Are the specs same as above?


Ya, same rims,

I would stick with the original factory size tires, esp. since vehicle is still under warranty.  You can still get the Nitto Ridge Grappler, but keep in mind the one you are looking at is 275/70 whereas OEM is 275/65.  That second number is the tire aspect ratio or percentage of sidewall to tire width, so you are effectively going to a larger diameter tire.      That will impact fuel economy and put more strain on the suspension, driveline overtime.  I would keep it as the engineers intended.  Buts it’s OK to change tire brands - as long as quality is good.  Also, if something does happen to the vehicle related to suspension/driveline and you take into the dealer for warranty work, it gives them a possible excuse to deny you.
