    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to the forum and recently purchased my first Taco. It's a 2021 TRD Sport.

    On Friday, I'm replacing the OEM 265/R16 all seasons with 265/70R17 ATs.

    I'm wondering if I can run rear tire chains with this set-up. I've attached what the manual says. I don't think it will be possible but wanted to check if anyone has first hand experience.

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you live in an area where chains are necessary? There are some AT tires that are great in the snow and won't put you through the hassle of chains. The Nokian outpost AT and the yokohama G015 both have good reviews. I've hade great winter experiences with Duratracs.
    As for chains fitting, I have no info but good luck!

    I live in Canada and would only need chains occasionally in late fall and early spring to get into my cabin on bush roads. There are a lot of steep hills on the road, so snowy/icy conditions can be problematic. I can simply stay home during those conditions but would prefer to extend the season going to my "happy place".

    It's funny that you mention Nokian Outpost nATs, as that is what is going on the truck tomorrow. :)
