    It's only 10mm, less than half an inch. I don't see it making much difference in performance.

    No problem. Also don’t get a whole lot of chunks taken out of them. Ive done a few trails where others have had a chunk or two taken out of their tread where mine will be fine. For the price, I love them.

    There is a reason for wide footprints watch a polar bear cross a thin sheet of ice spread the load as much as possible but with the weight of our trucks and the minimal width difference in 285 vs 255 it doesn't make much difference. What really matters is the tread width which a 285 could have the same as a 285 it all depends on the belt design under the tread. There is a lot more to tires than just the sizes.

    Look at bicycle tires kinda like truck tires. Road Bikes need tall skinny tires to go fast in a straight line. Mtn Bike and BMX tires need to be wider with aggressive knobbies to grip in all kinds of turns. If I tried to bomb down a mtn in road bike rims and tires I would blow them out in the 1st turn. Just my two cents coming from a two wheeled background.:bikewhoops:

    What a long ass day! Lots of water damage, regular jobs and other ppl's fuck ups all day long! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm (I walked in my house 20 mins ago)

    Parental car situation resolved thanks to some site called Carvana (or something). Shop online, finance and buy it, they deliver on a flatbed and you have 7 days to decide 100% if you want it, or a diff one.

    It comes Monday....will let yall know how that turns out!

    No not really. Contact patch is bigger with the 255 so even sand isn't really a valid argument.
