Good idea making this video. Did you recalibrate the speedometer for the 31.5" tires. The Taco has GPS which constantly monitors your speed.

Go to "Tool Setting", then to configure speed, drive for awhile, go back to normal setting and your speedometer will be corrected for the larger tires.

If your not running 35s on 5.29 then you are wasting your time and money.

??? The torque you get while running 32’s is AMAZING!!! I have 33’s now but kinda miss the power I had with 32’s and 5.29’s haha

@@mattpedersen8469 I’m like 15 mpg right now but I added a heavy front and rear steel bumper and always carry a 100 lbs diamondback cover and a hilift jack. So hard to say. Also my 33’s are E rated and pretty heavy… The whine is gone while accelerating, however it’s slightly still there in deceleration; it keeps getting better with time though.
