The SKINNY on skinny tires

Sorry for picture quality, but its what I had available to post

 

Nice looking Taco! Do you have a winch behind that bumper? My set of steel wheels for the KO2 235's wont be here until the end of next week, looking at bumpers and winches in the mean time

 

Where did you get the steelies and how much $$$ if you don't mind?

 

eBay, $45ea, for 1st gen Tundra

 

245-75-17?? I am specifically getting this size as its close to same dimensions as 235-85-16 but i can get these in SL rating so even lighter.

 

Sorry UWU, no winch, just the skill of not getting stuck . . . but I have pulled a few Full size trucks and few Jeeps out of good sticks with my "little" Taco though

 

Thanks, man.
I meant like the first picture where you can see how skinny they are and how they line up with the fenders (how far they tuck in or stick out).

 

Dropped off the 255/75r17's to be mounted on the level 8 mk6's. Tire guy was hesitant they will fit my stock suspension. Told him I know in will be trimming bumper and said okay. $68 for mount and balance. Will post pics later when finished.

 

Time to start trimming.

 

You're missing a lug nut on the front passenger wheel.

 

I was wondering who would notice. I effed up and bought 20 pack lugs. Lmao. Good thing we 6 lug

 

Hi, I just bought an 2018 access cab TRD OR (Automatic). I have always been a skinny tire fan. I put a set of Bighorn MT in 255 85 R16 on yesterday. Only driven around town so far but no rubbing noticed. Next week a 2-inch OME will be installed by the dealer here. I know I paid a premium but I want the warranty. I really am happy with the look. This vehicle has more clearance than my Rubicon even before the lift. Another user here made the comment that he thought the truck hunted less for gears with this tire. I thought he was delusional. I might also be but I think it does cut down on that issue. They make a pretty good road noise but if I wanted a quiet car that is what I would have bought.

 

Great first post! It’s just missing the pic, let’s see your rig with the Bighorns

Discount Tire Direct is doing a sale for $100-200 off their eBay store til 3/19 with code PMOTORS318. It’s $100 off per 400+ purchase, so best to buy 2 at a time and apply code twice for the $200 off. Couldn’t find ST Maxx 255/85/16 to sway me from my 265/75s yet, but there are some 17” options. KM2s in 16” too.. worth a look for anyone in the market after tax time!

 

You should be able to carry a full size 255/85 spare under that Third Gen with plenty of room to spare. I just put Cooper ST MAXXs on in that size and have room all around.

Update: You have to check the spare occasionally as it may rub if it shifts even a little bit, but it does fit.

 

Ha! I wish my 255s would fit under there. A bracket is in the way. I’d need about 1/2 inch to get it in there.

 

@Discount Tire Direct
just got some 255/85 cooper st maxx but on and I’m gettung a gas pedal/steering wheel vibration. It’s like the vibration is on a loop/pattern. I have gotten them balanced twice now. Any idea what It could be?

 

New rims as well? If not, then rotate tires to the rear and see if it follows a wheel. Otherwise, try another source for balancing. After that you may just have a bad tire.

 

No same exact set up just new tires.

 

Ugh - tried to.
