The SKINNY on skinny tires

Sixthelement what PSI are you running for reference.. I need to chalk it

 

Usually keep em about 35psi cold.
I dont daily the truck. So, that works for short trips around town during the week. I'f I'm going to be highway for a bit for a trail run. Sometimes I bump em to 40psi.

 

Really digging the look of these 235 Toyos

 

Duratracs 255/75r17 installed today stock Sport wheels.
happy with the look!

 

16x8 0 offset , 255 85 16 . Anyone with personal experience , will I require any further modification, I've searched with no luck . Thanks in advance

 

Slight rub on driver side at full lock while going over a bump. I haven’t trimmed anything.

 

Perfect, that's what I wanted to hear, thanks for the response. Nice truck

 

Alright ladies and gents. My turn to ask the questions!
First thanks so much OP for a very informative post.

I’m now officially moving on to tire purchase! I have my TRD Pro wheels coming in and I’ve settled on pizza cutters. I’d like to run wildpeaks and it looks as though that leaves me one option, 255/80/17s.
The TRD wheels have a 4mm offset. I’m putting 6112/5160s with a leaf pack in the back. Anyone have experience with a setup similar? Curious to know how much cutting or if a CMC will be required.

I’ve read a lot on here and eventually came across anecdotal reports that contradict each other. I am thinking this size will fit without too much issue.

Also curious about the “E” rating; however there’s another thread for that

 

Little to no trimming. No CMC required. Load rating is personal preference depending on what you plan to with the truck.

 

17x8 0 offset 4.5 bs, Toyo Open Country AT3 255/80/17. Eibach pro kit 1st notch, Icon 1.5 progressive add a leaf, spc uca's. No rubbing.

 

255R80 x17 on sema wheels.....3/2 lift and no rubbing....stay with 4mm offset and you should be fine. Worse case is mud flap trim.

 

I know the tire features will make a big difference but how are you guys doing on highway driving at 80mph?? Does it feel okay? Here in S Georgia and Florida everyone drives 90mph. I try to stay at 75 but sometimes have to go 80. Just curious about that. Thanks!

 

I am in AZ and with 255/80R17 Wildpeaks, it is a Smooth, quiet ride even at 90. Airing down is recommended off road, but very smooth on the highway. I was concerned when I made the jump and that is why I stayed with an AT instead of going MT.

 

Size tire?

 

That's good to hear. I'm really leaning towards 2558017 but I don't want to regret it. Truck is my daily so I haven't seen a MT that would make sense.

I'm coming from 2657516 and don't want to do 2657017. And for sure don't want 285!

 

275-80r17

 

Waiting for my new tires to come in, ordered the Cooper STT PROs in a 255/75/17. They should be here next week! Also purchased the TRD PRO 17x7 wheels in gray. I guess I didn't realize these were considered "skinny tires" but I'm not upset about it haha. Main reason I chose this size was due to them being the only load range C that Cooper offers (in this tire) without going down to a 15" wheel.

Anyone have experience with this setup? Mainly interested in how they do in the snow as I live in Michigan

 

Would rims with these specs work with 255/85/16?

 

Probably a lot of better choices for a DD snow friendly tire…

 

Eventually I'll grab a set of snow tires to throw on my stock wheels. But for now these will suffice. I'm almost certain they're better than the stock tires... but I've been wrong before
