Have a '10 Limited 4wd , no lift , no spacers , all stock with about 45,000 mi's on it . A few weeks back had a set of Bridgestone Alenza Plus in 275/55-20 mounted up to replace the OEM 684 ll's. The 684 ll's are a pretty good tire . One of the most quiet & best riding tires I've had on a truck or suv. Had a couple sets on the Tundra. Very good dry & wet performance , mot so great in the snow especially after about 40,000 mi. Those tires performed better in the snow on my 2wd Tundra than on the 4Runner , can't figure that one out. So am loving the Alenza's. As everyone else has said , the 275/55 looks and drives so much better than the 245/60's. No rubbing , I have the factory Limited mud guards installed.
As also mentioned, the 275 also helps cure the constant freeway steering nervousness , not totally but much better. Door sticker for the 245's says 32lb FR&RR witch is what I ran and had perfect tire wear. Have played around with pressures on the 275's a bit . Ended up with 36FR-32RR. So far tread face is wearing even FR&RR. I'll keep an eye on this with a depth gauge & make sure no unusual cupping appears . These tires weigh 45lbs ea compared to 35lbs ea for the 684 ll's. Highway mileage is down maybe 1 mpg if that, around town seems to be down a little more than that. Overall am extremely happy with the new shoes!!
