    I think there is a thread for it. Give me a sec

    Bam
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/actual-tire-sizes.352522/

    Gives a bunch of tires sizes and the actual measurement mounted. Mine were 32 mounted but on my spare it's 33 and a bit.

    I finally got them on last night. They are great so far no major power loss and no rubbing yet. I'm hoping to hit one of the local trails on Sunday to try em out depending on my honey do list.

    They look great, how is the ride (steering, sidewall roll, highway) and how is the sound? What did you have on before for comparison.

    Thanks, I'm getting ready to do the same...

    They have a tiny hum to them but nothing obnoxious like a mud tire and you cannot hear them with the windows up. I purchased the truck used in Feb 15' and it had 265/70R16 Goodyear Assurance tires on it. I was afraid to off road on those after learning that they were a soft compound "street only tire" that they normally install on crossover suv's. So far there are zero issues with steering, sidewall roll or while running at 75 on the freeway. They have not seen dirt yet but I hope to address that soon...

    I have experienced a power loss on a few local hills but the tranny just downshifts into 4th and up you go. I may consider re-gearing down the line depending on how it handles mountain passes.

    I can agree with all of this as well. I was very happy with mine off-road, and in the snow (road and off-road) they have been extremely better than stock and the Goodyear kevlars. Not comparing apples to oranges but to give you an idea.

    Did you sell those? I'm kinda in the market. Debating between this size and going to 35s and all the work that entails.

    Man, those tires are beastly, but at 60lbs a pop do you notice any road performance issues?
