    For 2016 4runner TRD Pro

    Looking at a set of 295/70/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires to replace my 33x12.5x18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Mickey Thompsons are a heavier tire but I would also be downsizing wheel size.
    You guys think I would see any change in performance?

    Nitto’s are M/T
    Mickey’s are A/T

    The Mickeys will also be a pinch taller, assuming both tires are true to size.

    You're definitely going to feel the difference with a taller, heavier tire. You might get a slight drop in fuel economy. It's not necessarily going to be a huge difference, but you'll notice it.

    FWIW, I run 295/70/17 MT's all summer, and am fine with the performance.
