Overview of recent damage to one of my Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/70/16 tires on my Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, including a look at tread depth at 22K miles. Also comments from Toyota about tire pressure, and a question for viewers about the "temporary use" steel wheel used for the spare.

My guess is that (just having dropped the spare on my 2015 TRD Sport for the first time the other day), they are labeled "Temporary Use" to avoid liability, even though it is a full size, road-ready spare tire... Honestly, most people aren't going to have the tire on the spare wheel replaced when its "shelf life" is up (5-7 years), and being in an exposed environment, particularly up here in the north, the spare wheel is going to suffer at least some corrosion and accumulation of mud, dirt, pebbles, debris, etc. Once that wheel is rusty and the tire is over 5 years old, anything more than temporary use is questionable. Just my $0.02.
@@kevinhill.8 if you are running P series tires, which you are, I’d stick with the psi on the door jam. When you step up to LT tires they need to be at a higher psi to support the weight rating on the sidewall. A p series tires at 30psi will carry more weight than a LT at 30psi. The LT is rated at a much higher load capacity but needs to be at a much higher psi. I ran my E load ko2’s on my Tacoma for 10’s of thousands of KM at 30psi without any issues at all. I was going to go with P series wildpeaks but after your video I think I may pay extra for the LT (deeper tread, 17/32)
