    Whoooooooshchchch
    A few pages back a guy was running them on an SR5 so I imagine the sport suspension should be good enough, which would be your potential problem spot if you're changing the wheels

    Yea...man, I would have cried tears of joy if they worked. With that said, I love meaty side-walls so I'd have probably found a reason to run 16's

    Mostly stuff I built.
    Km3 is a mud tire and is supposed to be released in January in the 255mm 80/85 16”-17” rim sizes according to what I heard from the regional BFG distributor local to me.

    They air down great gives you a long tread patch.

    According to an article that was linked somewhere on the forums they air down better than fat tires do.

    You get a longer track like patch vs a wider patch.

    If I were to change to some 255/85/16, from the 265/75/16 (I believe) on my 06 TRD OR, will this affect the readings on my speedometer?

    Yes! I had oversized on my old Sierra and had a friend clock me when he had a speed trap set. Cruise said 80km/h and he clocked me at 87 or 88.

    I got the 255/85R16's a week or two ago and the day after having them installed I put in the Hypertech Speedo Calibrator. I haven't been clocked by my friend, but I did test it with my GPS and speedometer app on my CrackBerry and it's an almost perfect match now.

    I didn't actually test the difference prior to installing the calibrator, but I would have been going faster with the larger size for sure.
