    I couldn't get my 255/85/16 Toyo Open Country Mts to fit, but I could get the 285/75/16 BFG KO2 to fit.
    One thing I noticed that helped, have someone pull back on the tire as the other person raises it into position. Made the difference with the 285s.

    So....just bought a 2017 DCSBOR [I've read a lot, but not all of this thread] - ordered a fox suspension and looking for wheels and tires. Very interested in 255/80r17 but there doesnt seem to be anything available in that size that isnt a load "E". I'm worried about the stiffness of them and airing them down. Have you guys found anything in "C"?

    Don't worry about the e load rating and stiffness, just get a quality name brand tire and they will ride and flex great.

    Love my Coopers. Ran with stock suspension for a while, then lifted with OME front and back. Nothing but good things to say.

    I’m running 235/85–16. They are an E load Falken wildpeak AT. Running 45 psi and they are stiff. I need to reduce that pressure and see if they ride better. All that said I really like them as is. At 35 psi the load carrying will be reduced but I won’t tow till June.

    Just no go on the spare with space under there? I got my Toyo 255's installed today and am hoping to pick up a matching TRD off road rim for the spare so I can run a 5 tire rotation.. sounds like my spare will end up in the bed then?

    NTY are those the ST Max? And did you have to run spacers on stock suspension?

    I’m thinking about running 255/85r16 for FJ Summit and probably won’t get to upgrading the suspension before.

    My 255/80-17 Wildpeaks are going on tomorrow. Did you drop to 35 psi? If so, how's the ride?

    I’m running 255/85r16 BFG KM2s. I was able to cram the spare under but had to do some cutting. After cutting crank it up pull it back towards the hitch then crank some more.

    Not speaking for 4T3Underhill here but i can certainly notice a difference in power and braking after installing my toyo's that measure a cheerful 33.5 inches tall and weigh in at 60'ish lbs!

    I had run the Cooper ST 255's on a 2015 JK then switched to the Toyo's on the same JK and even felt the difference from one tire to the next. The coopers were light and ok but the Toyo's were better all around.

    That's what I've been running for the last month. I haven't seen any significant difference coming from 265/65/17's.
