i would go with the 265s... but im a gas saver, u might be different

chances are you got passenger rated tires then. LT are definately not soft. look at your tire size and see if its P265/xxx/xx or LT265/xxx/xx

I'm running 285's had to remove the flaps in front and do minor trimming, (it's not brain surgery...easy). No other issues.

That looks great! I think I'll still with 265s after seeing this picture. 12k miles? That doesn't sound right, I hear nothing but great things about NTG tires... How big of a lift is on your truck?

I paid 556 on ebay sent to my house. I still wish I would have went with the 18'' wheels with 285 65 18 nittos. If I could find someone to trade with in Florida I would

No lift other than the 2.5 in the front from the 5100s. And yeah 12k miles, worst wear I've ever had. I think I must have gotten the softer of the rated tires. Sucks for me... The BFGs are great tires

timmer · 09-30-2008, 05:14 PM

less issues with 265's.

BFG KM
265/75 at 31.9"
285/75 @ 33.1"
255/85 33.3"
295/75 33.2
305/

if you really need that extra half inch of underspring ground clearance and dont mine the down side go with the 285"s and rewheel, re UCA, nip and tuck.

BMWOT if your going to do all that go ahead cut

rebox and regear and get into some 315/75's

dtrujillo63 · 09-30-2008, 05:23 PM

Thanks for all the input guys. I decided i'm going to go with 265s. My wheels are on back order so now I just have to wait...

whitetacomatruck · 10-01-2008, 12:03 AM

I have spoke with you before. Would those tires work on my stock tacoma with stock wheels without rubbing?
