Question For Those w/ Stock 16" Rims
Those who have stock 16" rims, what is the specified front & rear tire pressure on the sticker inside the driver's door? My 4runner came with 15" steel rims and 225/75R15 tires but I replaced them with 16" alloys from a '03 Tacoma double cab which has 265/70R16 tires. I would like to know the recommended tire pressure for the 16" rim and tire combo. Thanks.

I have 16" rims on my 4runner, and I assumed they were stock, but when I went out to look, I saw that the sticker lists pressures for 15 in rims....Oh well.
Anyway, I also checked the owner's manual, and for 16" rims with 245/75/16's, rec. pressure is 32psi all around. I'd think that's a safe bet, or at least a good starting point. I'm sure someone else with your setup will chime in.

They don't do anything for gearing with the different size tires. Just hope that you didn't get the 15" 225's with 4.11 gears. You might have to rev is a little.
They do however calibrate the speedometer to the tire size. When I started shopping for my Toyota, the dealer had a leftover 4Runner that I was interested in. It had the small tires. The dealer could not swap the 16 inchers onto it becuse it would make the speedo inaccurate.

Oh yea, almost forgot. The tire pressure question.
It's printed on the sidewall of the tire.
A passenger tire is usually 35lbs. per square inch, in a cold tire.
A light truck tire calls for a higher pressure.

SO for the gear ratios. If I originally had the 15" with small toyotoa ires and switched those out to 31s, what gear ratio do I need or should go to? A better question, I guess, would be what is the best overall gear ratios to go to? How much?
