    Very quiet - easy to balance - lightest 255/85/16 available. A friend that owns mechanic shop installs lots of them, runs them on 3500 lifted dodge diesel and pulls quite often with them and he is still pleased.

    @GladiatorNOT was told 47lbs when he emailed Kenda directly. Unfortunately he wasn't able to get a weight on his set prior to installing. That's extremely light for an E rated tire. Pretty crazy if it's true given the D rated 35 is 62lbs.

    Well even if it falls between that and the 52 lbs that Amazon says it’s got to be the lightest tire in that rating and size range. Thanks.

    I just came here to mention the Kenda Klever 33x10.5 offerings, but you guys are already on it.

    I’ll need tires sometime in 2020 so I’ve begun researching and am between RidgeGrappler 255/80/17 and this new Kenda RT 33/10.5/17. If I had an appetite to regear, I’d do the 35x10.5’s.

    Light means thin construction to me. Great for pavement use but maybe not as ideal for severe trail use

    You have to find that happy medium. Too heavy and you lose flexibility and grip that you really want when aired down on the trail. But yes, too light and you have poor durability.

    All of the 2nd gen and forward Tacomas are heavy enough to run the beefiest of the 255 tires. Radial tires aired down enough are gonna flex and grip well with our rigs! Now a heavy bias ply tire under a suzuki samurai is a different story. The Toyo 255’s are the heaviest of the bumch here and they flexed and formed great under my 2018 access cab. Ran them on a much lighter 2dr jk for much more severe wheeling than the Tacoma would ever do and they worked wonderfully.

    Have had the 255/85R16 Dick Cepek Extreme Country tires on 3rd gen 16” Toyota TRD wheels for a while and they have been very good so far. Just a few updated pictures of the truck. Lost some go with the bigger wheels but will be re-gearing next year.
