285/75R16 or 265/75R16

265-75-16 lost a couple mpg from stock would not want to go bigger have to get a lift and lose more mpg

 

Did you get the E rated wildpeaks? I lost less than 1 MPG...after the speedometer/mileage correction. But I got the standard load tires.

 

People buy a E rated tire and complain about mpg loss. Lol. I looked up the weights of all SL rated 265s and went with the Wildpeaks. Not the lightest but light for the aggressive tread they have. The Nitto/Toyo ATs on SCSs is about as light as you can get with an AT tire but they're not very aggressive. There's no SL options in the 255 skinny size. KO2s are tanks so I ruled them out first. SLs also ride softer. Are you lifted btw? I might do a small lift with the 265s. Good middle of the road setup.

 

There’s a D rated 255/85/16- the Cooper ST (non Maxx) that seem to be as light as that size gets. Falken also seems to be making a 255/80/17 in the future, not sure on what load yet.

 

Happy with my 26-75-16 BFG KO2s.

 

I haven’t done the correction but I went from 21 average down to 18 I have the sl so maybe it’s as bad as what it’s saying

 

Ask yourself, "do I get more pleasure inside the truck with better acceleration, lighter steering response, better braking and improved gas mileage with 265s or standing outside the truck looking at 285s?"

I know how I answered the same question.

 

255/85r16s?

I ran 255/80r17 ST Maxx on my last taco, I moved up from 275/70r17 K02s. The Coopers were actually just as wide at the BFGs even though they should have been 20mms narrower. I maintained ~17-18mpgs with the 255s, which was only a loss of 1 mpg over stock, the truck was a MT.

 

This poll is bunk. No option for 37’s

 

265/75/16, SL/P rated

 

265/75r16. If I do anything I'm regearing and going to 35s. These duratracs in C load at 18lbs are like glue.

 

Not even. 5/8ths by nominal. Few hairs more if you're going from a less aggressive AT.

But anywho.

 

Wow. That last pic of the sidewall folding in two places makes me...

 

255/85/16 FTW better gas mileage and same height as 285/75/16

 

Are you running a speedo calibrator? If not, your speed, odo, and mpgs will be off. I doubt you are losing that much mpg's, unless you drive like an a-hole.

With 285's, I'm averaging 18mpg with shitty winter gas. In the summer it's normally around 19mpg.

I'm regeared with 4.30's, but even with the stock gears I got the same mpg.

 

Fractions... My only weakness....

 

No shame. I googlefoo'd it. Haha. I remember looking it up when I was considering it.

Oreos are my only weakness

 

I currently have 265/75/16s on mine, wish i just went with the 285. Reason being, I didn't get the look I was going for. Yes you do get basically same milage with 265s as a stock truck, but for looks / purpose of offroad 285 is the way to go!

 

Debatable

 

If I was worried about MPG and car-like ride, I would stay with the factory tires.

I am not.
