    Hopefully not a repost (sure is, ha). Great video.

    I’ve followed Tinkerer’s Adventure for quite awhile and dig his approach using quantitative analysis.

    The day there's adequate options in skinnies I may consider it. The other overlooked problem is wheel options I have w bigger of a time finding wheels narrow enough for skinnies

    Quite a few choices in 255/80/17.

    16” 255s are all mostly mud terrains.

    It's the 255/85r17 I'm waiting on. The baja boss weighs far to much

    Aaaah. Fair enough.

    I really wanted 255/85/17 baja boss but did not wanna cut up the front of my truck. My 255/80/17 fit perfectly even with mudflaps.

    I'm already chopped to fit 295's and a -25 so a 17x8 -10 255/85 should fit in there without issue besides maybe popping off a fender flare at full compression.

    Thin gets you in, but thicker is quicker.
