[QUOTE="Allen, post: 339785, member: 389"] I have a 2015 SR5 with the stock tire size of 17". I am pretty sure the only real difference between the factory 20 inch tires and the 17 inch tires is the rim diameter, the actual circumference/height of the tire is still the same, or very close. This just means the 20 inch wheel combo has less of a sidewall, which helps in handling by being more responsive in feel, but may make it a little rougher riding. At least that's my take on the difference. As far as the battery, there is absolutely no reason it needs to have a trickle charger on it unless you have some sort of vampiric draw on the battery. This really isn't much of a problem on my 4Runner though because things like lights all turn off after a few minutes of the key getting turned off. Even if I leave the key in the accessory position, the radio and stuff all go off after a while. I had to replace my battery this winter, but I will not complain about a near 7 year run with the factory battery. It's had several occasions where it's sat for a couple weeks at a time with no issues noted. I would suggest the battery had just reached the end of its useful life. By the way, I now have 97k miles on my 4Runner and the only things I have had to do to it is the battery, wiper blades, tires, and brakes. It's such a great vehicle my kids are already arguing over who gets it when they go off to college. Life's too short and busy to be running around with a trickle charger for all the crap I have with batteries. I just replace them every 5-7 years and call it good. [/QUOTE]
