    Cold measurements this morning after sitting all night. 28psi being measured at just over 32in. I'm sure when warmed up and with more pressure they would hit 33in

    Great job Solscooter! Other guys take note, when posting tire pictures measure them on the truck like Solscooter did with a tire pressure and rim width if you can. So nice to have an actual mounted height rather than just he said she said or overly optimistic manufacturer's specs . It helps a lot for others making decisions for their builds.

    From my research others have ran these tires and wheels with trimming of the bumper. Picture makes them look way bigger than they really are.

    Anyone in here run 235's with a second gen DCSB with pics they want to share?

    I have 255's right now and love them....but 235's are so much less expensive.

    Tires compress a lot once under weight. That is what, a 32" tire? Should fit stock.

    uww, new to the forum, but "f.o.g" in the off road world, I've worked a Medical Chase w/ BFG crew and have run BFG untill last year just to see what all the fus was so I chose the Cooper STT Pro in a 235/85/16 and before that a BFG KM2 in a 235/85/16, my truck is moderate lift with Icon in front and OME Dakar in the rear, maybe 2.5" suspension lift all together. I don't think getting crazy with a massive suspension is a great idea, but the choice is yours. . . imho with all said I'm going back to BFG, which I got 64,000 mi on my KM2's and 6 years, and only 37,000 mi on my STT Pro's which made very sad and very disappointed . . . but the Coopers are a good tire just not for the mileage. ps 2/2018 till the end of the month Costco is having a killer DEAL on BFG KO2 and KM2 tires till 3/4/2018
