I'm not so sure. If you assume greater weight, yes, but he's running light forged wheels and the TRD BBK may well weigh less than the chunky cast OEM's. OTOH, the tires might be heavier but maybe not. When I was shopping for 225/45-17 performance rubber there was about a 6 lb. difference between the top rated brands with one about the same as the OEM Michelins.

In general I agree, but he has anything but a typical build going on.
