    Just picked up a set of Toyo MTs for $185 per tire shipped, I couldn't pass up such a sick deal. Unfucking real! Looks like there are still more left at tire-easy.com. Get sum!

    My leveling kit and 1" rear block came in. Can't decide if I want 255/85/16 or 265/75/16. On stock 2015 SR Wheels. The 265s are much easier to get. Nobody really stocks 255/85/16 here in Hawaii. Shipping sucks. =(

    Looks like I may have also. Do you know if it's going to be the same size as the bfg km2's (33.5x10.2) or smaller like the cooper a/t?

    Yes, the expedition portal has the review and that's all the info thats available.

    I would assume that the sizes are in between the ST Maxx and BFG/Toyo in that size because of Coopers huge tread depth.

    I can't wait to get the official specs

    Alright guys, heres a couple of questions. I have dakars in the rear and 884's up front. I really would like to go bigger than 265/75/16s and this is the size I want but I would like to know are any of you running them with the 2.7? I keep some tools in the back with a cap so its already a little sluggish (not a ton). I worry that its going to be terribly slow. And I am getting the MB TKO wheels in a 16" and I don't know the backspacing but they have -6 offset. So I gather that they will stick out a bit which I like the look of. At full stuff they're going to hit the fenders? I don't do any extreme rock crawling so getting full stuff isn't too frequent

    I have a 2.7 and 255/85s. I don't think it's sluggish, but it is definitely slower. I have 4.56 stock (TRD Auto 2.7) so that helps a little. I have SAW 2.0s and wheelers 5 leaf packs and I have not hit the fenders.

    Nice, thanks for the reply. I wonder what gears I have. I'm 5 speed manual. Maybe I'll go search and see if I can find out. I am very seriously thinking about getting the Doug Thorley header and a drop on filter so that might help a bit

    What's the width on those wheels? My old MB wheels were 8.5" and won't work with the 255/85/16s. Take a look at my build if you want, I have a 2.7 with 255/85/16s. And yes, I believe the offset of the MB wheels will definitely make you hit the fender if you stuff them at all.
