    265/75r16 SL installed today.
    Side wall lugs aren't as pronounced but they do stand out enough to be noticed. This is the more "aggressive side" out.
    Definitely much more noticeable road noise compared to the stock tires once you get up +60km/h but not at all over bearing or in any way annoying.
    Tire shop set them at 35psi, maybe a bit stiffer if I had to really nit pick. Will do a chalk test and adjust PSI later this week.
    No rubbing at full lock forward and reverse.

    Probably be sometime next week they said, just glad they had wheels an tires available just need shipped to store. Seen few people run the 255, more tread depth then the p also 50lbs per tire. I'm running Eibach lift and spc uca's, KD Max. Plan on running them Fall-Spring for majority of what I need.

    After 10k, I've found my gas mileage has gone down when compared to the Pirelli Scorpion ATs they replaced. Averaging only about 16-17mpg, when I was easily getting 19-21mpg on the Pirellis. Went with stock size SLs. Haven't gotten any rain here to see how they handle, but otherwise happy with noise level and light off road handling.

    My 255s have been one of the best all around tires I’ve ran. Good traction in everything I’ve had it through, decent mileage for a 33, and does great in the rain/snow.

    These are OWL with the whites turned in. Only the less "aggressive" had the OWL.

    They are a little heavier than my old tires but so far I like them. Yes it's a vinyl decal someone on this forum made when I got these wheels like 4 years ago. Here's some photos from a post I made when I got the tires on last month....

    Wheels an tires installed today. USA stamped Toyo Open Country AT3 255/80/17 run Fall-Spring. Tires I got in back got from DT also Cooper at3 4s 265/75/16 run for Summer.
    Only 60 miles on them city/highway so far. Ride nice definitely not harsh for e rated, little louder but nothing crazy then the Cooper but they are more aggressive.
    I did remove front mud flaps before having wheels installed, no rubbing so far, trails an more driving will tell.
    Eibach Pro lift kit 1st notch, Icon 1.5 aal, spc uca's.

    I’m about to buy tires myself and would be interested to know what specials you’re running.

    DT put 40psi, rides fine, don't find it harsh. I need to do chalk test. I'll definitely run a lower psi in winter months.
