i need 17's im gonna go with Cooper Zeon LTZ

 

I'm thinking LT255/75 r17 Bridgestone Revo 2's

 

Do they come in 255/80/17 ?

 

Think I am the only one rocking 255/70/17

I went for gas mileage with my choice, skinnier than stock and light weight compared to most. I know picking a highway tread tire might have netted some better mpg but they just look way out of place on trucks.

Running the hankook atm's, from what I remember when I called Hankook they were 34 or 35 pounds in standard P load rating.

Any of the P255/75 and taller All Terrain tires jump to about 43+ pounds

Hankook makes a P255/75/15 now but not when I purchased, kind of wonder what they weigh in at.

No complaints had them for about 6K now.

 

I thougth the P rated 255 Hankook ATms were 255/75/17 ?

 

You are correct the 255/75 tire is P rated. I believe it was not made when I bought my 255/70's

I wanted to go a little taller and the 255/75 would have been perfect if the weight of them was low enough.

I do drive alot on road compared to off but when I do get to a job site or a remote one the tires are nice. I think the taller 75 series would be a little soft in the side wall for in P if you had to make a sudden turn. I can feel it a lil in the 70 already.

Here is the list of sizes they offer in 17 for P and LT

My size isn't on there ^^^

LT275/70/17 ATm

 

i have no idea... im tempted to get 33s though if they dont, i will get the money some how if i must. if the tires are skinnier than stock, wow thats weird!

 

255/80/17 is 33 1/4"

 

Thats messed up. You are right, they do make that size but it is not listed. I pulled that info from Hankooks website.

 

Ya , it's a new size as of 2011 , and for some reason wasn't added to their site

 

Thougth? Is that a Canadian term?
255/85/16 BFG KM2s

 

I love your truck 4banger. What mpg you get with those tall tires?

 

they are just narrow, that will look odd, im not sure what to go with

 

255/75 r17 a true 32"

 

Can't agree
