3inch lift 265/75r16 or285/75r16

I like how you took the pic at the same time of day in the same spot so we can see the shadows. Great comparison shot!!

 

285’s for sure

 

Haha good observation just checked the time stamps on the pics they’re 1hr 20 mins apart

 

Look fellas, no need to argue here....

This is all very simple... 255s if you prefer to wear limp wrists and 285s if you sport strong and true wrists.

No one is judging here... You like what you like!

 

FWIW, I have 285/75/16 and did not cut a single thing on my truck. My average MPG barely decreased to even notice, I can maintain 70-75 MPH on the highway without "searching for gears", and am still pretty functional off-road. Don't think theres one right answer for what size tires every Tacoma owner should put on his/her truck. Dunno about instagram, but looks pretty cool in my driveway

 

What brand tire did you put on your truck

 

Toyo Open Country R/T

 

What load range did you go with?

 

Load Range E
Only range they come in

 

I was thinking of going with Falken at3w they also only come in load range E

 

My 265/75 at3w are p rated tires. Maybe the 285 only come in e rated?

 

The only shitty thing is I'm only finding 3 makers for 255/80/17. https://www.discounttiredirect.com/fitmentresult/tires/size/255-80-17

 

I have 265/70/17 Cooper AT3's and they look small as phuck.

 

285’s

 

Try 255/75/17, much bigger selection including BFG KO2 and mud terrain KM in C load. That size is bigger than a 265/70/17, almost the diameter of a 275/70/17 tire but with better selection and lighter weights.

 

Thanks! I am seeing that most online sellers advocate not to use 255 on 9 inch wheels. Is 17x9 too wide of a wheel for 255 wide tires?

 

Might look a little "Hawaiian style" but you should be fine.

Hawaiian owners like a little stretch in their tires but you shouldn't look this bad.

 

I guess there are no curbs in Hawaii to worry about.

Sorry OP

 

Everytime I see the fat vs skinny tire debate I think of this video.
