    Will a BFG 255/75/17 Load E - heavier than a 265/70/17 Load C?

    Here is what I see from tiresize.com (comparing C to C). I couldn't find an E 255 111/108S C BSW 32" 10" 6.5-8.5" 7" 15/32" C 2405/2205 lbs 50 psi 47.1 lbs 649 112/109S C RWL 31.6" 10.7" 7-8.5" 8" 15/32" C 2470/2270 lbs 50 psi 45.7 lbs 657

    However, the BFGoodrich page has both of them at 45.XX lbs... a wash according to them.

    I installed the Open Country R/T 255/80/17.

    It rubs! Just a little, but I'm going to to lift. I have to do some research on a 2.5", that gives me acceptable off road performance.

    How's the ride on those? Im in between the 255/80 Toyo or the 255/75 k02....

    I have 265/70/17 toyos now and they have been great. Just mainly worried about having to go up to a load e tire

    It rides great, almost no difference in performance and road noise. They look great also.

    I just spent some time reading this entire thread, Surgery keeps me home for 2 weeks. I knew I was going to get 255's before I found it, had them on my 05 before. With my 18 the plan is to get th BP-51's and UCA but I keep seeing mixed posts about whether the stock OR wheels will clear. Back to the real thing. I can get TOYO MT's for roughly $500, set of 4. SKetchy on ice is what I have heard which is why I have not pulled the trigger. Before anyone asks this is in Germany and Euro cost for a set is 450.

    I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but I didn't have time to read thru 82 pages of comments.... Has anybody tried putting a 255/85r16 on their spare and fit it back in the hole on a 3rd gen? I know you probably have to bend the brackets up there a little bit but how difficult was it? Getting ready to do this when my 5th tire gets here in the mail in a few days. Thanks in advance.

    I am pretty sure it will fit since it is a 33.1" tire, but you will have to bend the brackets to make it fit is all.

    I cannot confirm that though.

    Thats what I figured. I'm assuming those brackets aren't too hard to bend out.

    I'm running Sumitomo Encounter AT in 235/85/16 LT on the stock OR wheels. So far so good. Much better than the stock tires in snow.

    Info: http://www.sumitomotire.com/Tires?linename=ENCOUNTER AT

    Available in LT and P-metric. Surprisingly inexpensive for a tire from a Japanese brand.

    I've got 265/70/17 and 4Runner pro wheels and they look too small with a 3" lift. (BP-51)
    This thread help me decide to go with KO2 34x10.5r17.
