    Haven't towed with it at all. Just hauled a few hundred pounds with it, mostly mulch a couple times a year.

    They are basically the same as the 265/75/16’ with a hair more wheel showing. Lots of photos of them.

    2.5 inch lift, 285/75r16s, upgraded stereo system, Magnuson mp90 supercharger system.
    I will most likely be going to a bit smaller tire when I get the next set. I'm running 285/75r16s and they look great but definitely add some extra weight because of this it will be harder on components ball joints ext. It also takes a bit away from the ride quality like most things it's a trade-off.

    I voted 255 pizza cutters, but myself I went 265/75/16, as I couldn't get a 255 with my requirements.

    Tacaoms are already turtles as is with stock, with the added rotational weight just slows it down even more.

    255s ! The Military uses skinny tires for a reason ! Performance!
    I went with toyo Mt because of the aggressive side wall that gives them the appearance of a 265. So basically I don’t think they look so “skinny”

    I’m upsizing from stock 265/65r17 when I get home. I have 3”+ lift and Methods with zero offset and no wheel spacers, so I’m pretty sure that rubbing will not be an issue. I will be doing the pinch weld bend and cleaning up anything in the wheel well tat will cause contact issues. Also adding a Mobtown bumper at the same time, so no rub issues up front. Do it!

    Agreed. It's a noticeable loss of acceleration even with a Magnuson SC bolted to it.
