255/85 R16 Owners Experience

The problem is that all other things are NOT equal. The lighter tires are much more susceptible to damage.

“Better” is subjective.

So, its about compromise. Do you want the “look” of an off road tire, but value mpg over durability? Get a light tire. Would you sacrafise a bit of mpg for a tire that is less likely to fail while off road? Get an E rated tire.

 

@fatfurious2 I believe it is the 8x8 awning. I have it slid back a bit so there is good cover adjacent to the open tailgate when camping. It is definitely pretty big, but it is awesome when you're in the middle of nowhere and have some good shade cover - it is hot out here and sometimes natural shade isn't abundant.

 

Is there such a size as 255/80 16 ? 32” .I think that one inch at 255/85 33” would be a little too tall for my wheel well .

 

Think I answered this myself . Looks like only in a 17 not 16.

 

Anybody running the Toyo RT's yet in 255/80r17?

 

So...nitto is now listing the ridge grappler in a 255/80r17, if I can get ahold of a set these will be my next tires.

Toyo also has them in the RT and also AT2s in 255/80R17. All of a sudden there’s a few more tire options

 

I am very excited to have more options, I was planning on getting ST Maxx for my next set since I am running them currently in 265s, but I like the design of the ridge grappler and that it specs slightly taller.

33.31 x 10.04 and 54.96 lbs for the ridge grappler
33.10 x 10.00 and 56.00 lbs for the toyo RT
33.10 x 10.00 and 50.00 lbs for the toyo AT2

32.80 x 10.20 and 58.00 lbs for the ST Maxx

The AT2 could be a contender for my wife’s GX470, it has 265/70 terra grapplers on it now.

 

Killed a KM2 this weekend. 15psi when it happened.

 

Someone buy my new 265 Duratracs so I can get some 255s!

 

Ouch

 

Ditto! Waiting for these 285 duratracs to wear out lol. Gonna be a while, not my DD

 

New to me so far.

 

That’s a good looking truck.

 

Thanks!

 

+1! Love the simple but capable look.

 

Thank you

 

Oh boy, here we go again.........

 

General consensus is that these tires fit stock no lift. Have people tried wheel spacers to widen the stance on stock wheels? Wondering if that's a bad idea. Was thinking half an inch to an inch

 

I put 1" spacers on my 14' with stock steel rims. The Sidewall lines up perfectly with the outside of the fender. Different gen truck but you will have no problems with spacers as long as you don't go to big. I got mine from bora. Drop a line from the outside of the fender and measure the distance from the sting to the sidewall. This way you can get a rough estimate of what size spacer to get so the tread doesn't stick out.
