    I have a car...but I dont expect those in that size. The ranger runs 225/75/14 the highlander runs 225/70or75/16 the sequoia runs 265/65/17 and my k10 has 33/12.50/15.

    Nothing for any of my vehicles in their whole line up.

    Ah I see they have a size for the highlander. But I got a new set of tires free for it so I dont need any and I will sell it anyway.

    The step up to a 265/75/17 on your Sequoia wouldn't be much at all. They will probably less than an inch taller, which means less than a 1/2" overall lift. Your speedometer will read nearly identical.

    The K-10 would benefit from more torque by stepping down to a 31" tire and less rolling resistance on a 10.5" wide tire.

    So they have options. The Sequoia would get slightly better highway mileage with the taller tire (taller gearing). And depending on the gearing in your truck and where you drive it the most (around town), the smaller tires would benefit it as well.

    clemsonfor I run 31/10.5/15 on my 86 k1500. They are just fine. IF you still have the door sticker you might want to double check the size. They came mostly stock with 31/10.5/15 or on the 2wd with 235/75/15 back then. My 79 K15 was 2wd with 235/75/15.

    I think you can call them and ask for another size not listed and see if they have it as well? Or so I was told.:thumbs:

    I think my door sticker says 235/75/15. But even 31s would look stupid on that old truck with 2" of lift. It will fit 35s as is or so I was told was on it before the 33s. But I have about 65% tread left on them. And it has like 3.07/08 gears and the 350 trans so the big tires keep rpm's down on highway. I never drive in town hardly.

    And I use to sell tires so I am pretty good with fitment and what differences mean in tires.

    From what I have seen the sequoia has a really close fitment and some brands I have read in the factory size actually rub.

    Oh and the 31/10.50s would give more torque but that truck is a beast and I rarely need it even pulling max loads. I dont jack rabbit start. If going slow for pulling and need torque I put it in 4L if I dont need 4wd I just dont lock the hubs.
