Take the word of a retired former Toyota Service Manager, who has also
had experience in Rallye driving. The firstand simplest thing to do is
AIR UP the tires by at least 5 PSI. The next SMART thing to do is get
the alignment verified. When the tires need replacement replace with a
heavier duty tire - an LT rated tire is recommended on that vehicle,
and if it has the 265 65 tires on it, fo to 245 70 instead. Reducing
the width of rubber on the road will reduce the instability of the
tread on hard turns.

It's not a race car - you don't need wide meats on it.


Thanks for the advice of harder pressure which I will certainly do!

I agree with you on the lack of need for width.

It has 225s on there now, which is the OEM tire.
Nothing wider than that is needed I agree.

The rest is looks but it's an SUV for heaven's sake so all that low-profile
stuff is for posers.
