Do the Hybrids need an LT / E load tire?

[timelapse]

Thanks! I was looking at BFG site but didn't notice the "coming soon" pdf download. Looks to be a few in D

35x12.50R18/D 118R
LT235/60R18/D 108/104S
LT255/55R18/D 109/105S
LT265/70R18/D 119/116S

I recall seeing some of the coming soon sizes with a date in Q4 of 2025 or Q1 2026. It might be a while for those of us with the 18” wheels.

I'm just going to run these Michelins unless they're just total crap. After finding out the wheel hubs are different now might just keep the stock TRD wheels as well unless I decide to lift down the road. I did find these wheel overlays to help with the TRD wheel look.

Update us if you get those and install! Thinking of getting those too... spend $50 to save $1k

I'll get them for sure the wheels don't look bad with the overlays, but the silver really sucks!

99% of people can get away with running a C load tire. I've off roaded some gnarly trails with various vehicles running C loads in the last few years. Unless you are gonna load the vehicle up with a ton of weight the higher load is not needed. You will appreciate the ride overall a lot better as well

I've had 2 flats on 2 different 4Runners with the junk Toyota puts on from the factory on dirt roads in 2WD so don't really agree. Those were Goodyears so may give these Michelin's a go but not very confident in an SL/C load tire.
