2015 4runner trd rims... questions bout tires

[dsalas23]

so i bought a new 2015 SR5 premium 4runner and i wanted to change out the tires and rims. I bought the new 2015 4runner black matte rims (see pic)

i wanted to know if these tires would fit... they come in 265/70R17 121Q E1

also if someone could tell me what the E1 means on the tire size? thanks in advance

LT=light truck. E1 is load range. Those are 10 ply 3/4 ton truck tires and have a very stiff sidewall not to mention are probably around 80 lbs each. I would recommend trying to find something in a p series or a lt c1 load tire if possible they are typically less expensive, ride better, and won't be so hard on your driveline and suspention as they are not so heavy.

Somewhere in the 5th Gen forum is a recent post by a member who regrets buying that class of tire. Heavy, poor ride, noisy ...

OP, nice choice on wheels, but you need to be a little more tire-savvy before buying. Just sayin'.

Up in the 5th Gen stickies is a "Alternate search....." thread.
