I have 275/75/18's on my 2020 trd. 34.x" I believe. I love the height, but would like something a tad narrower for a winter tire if possible. I have an extra set of 18" steel wheels that I'd like to put a winter tire on and also save the wear and tear on my trd rims during the winter months dec-april (maine, salt, ugh). Anything out there that's narrower that keeps the height? Or, I guess I can just go with something else that's all season.

So I am not sure that a 275-75- 18 is made but 275-70-18 are as seen below with a 33.2 inch diameter and 9.1 inch tread width and that may be what you have. I understand wanting to go narrower in snow country as I live north of Lake Tahoe in the mountains. The 255-70-18 is the narrowest I found at 8.4 inches wide but it is a 32 inch diameter tire. The 265-70-18 keeps you closer at 32.6 inch diameter to 33.2 inch diameter of the 275-70-18 but it is not much narrower at 8.8 inch tread width. If you have not run any of the studless snow tires I highly recommend any of the Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin X-Ice tires. They only last a season or two but they work for what they were designed for, traction in snow and ice.
