The SKINNY on skinny tires

Those are 17x8.5 if they are the -10 offset.

 

The logic here is that these 34" are really kind of a big 33" measuring out at 33.5". So it's still a sizeable step up to a true 35". It seems many are able to run this 34" without needing to clearance more than a set of 33's. Wherease moving to a 35" is still gonna require more serious work to get the clearance needed.

 

True 35s seem to also mandate a regear as well.

 

I think a stock truck mandates a regear

 

FIFY haha

 

IMO 34's need a regear. Unless you happen to enjoy running 5k up a hill on the interstate trying to maintain 70 mph.

 

How have you liked these on the wider wheel? I've got some 8.5" wheels on order and was hoping to run these tires. Love the set up

 

8.5” wide will be fine. I have 17x8.5 KMC and love the way my pizza cutters feel. Very predictable, good sidewall bulge and 30k on the tires with even wear (rotated every 5k)

 

Thanks for the info!

 

They are good they come out to be about 32.5 tall so a little extra clearance. The city MPG's takes a hit but highway not as bad.

 

So I have to decide between 255-80-17 wildpeak
Or 34-10.5-17 open country at3

the open country are .5 taller, but their thread isn’t as deep……

 

Price difference? 3 peak?

 

yeah

-little bit of rubbing
-fitment looked like baby tires, less ground clearance
-only came in heavy Load E
-was not actually puncture-proof

If I went back in time and did 33's, I'd have tried the common 285/70r17 instead in load C or D

when you go 35, it will be hard to sell a tall skinny that few people want.
Regular 33 is a lot more common.

Kenda 35's

 

They are both 3 peak rated.

I just looked at them again. The toyos 34 inch tire is actually 33.5” and the flaken are 33.1”

and the price difference is about $260 more for the Toyo……..$1248 for Toyo and $1084 for falken

guess I’m going falken….

 

I haven’t heard enough good things about the Toyo’s to make that price difference worth it. Falken seems like the better choice for the price.

 

Have stock 23 TRD Sport. Definitely want new tires/wheels and possibly a lift.

Would the 17” options listed by OP warrant a lift? What size lift would look best?
17" Wheel:

255/75/17
255/80/17
34x10.5 R17

 

17x8.5 SCS wheels and 255 80

 

Love to see any pics of people with this set up.

 

Here’s my old truck on 17x8.5 SCS Stealth 6 wheels with 255/80/17 Cooper STMaxx.

 

I have Toyos in 265/75/16 they have been great for my needs. They’ve lasted ~55k. I don’t do heavy wheeling but they’ve survived desert trips and multiple trips into BC logging roads.

there’s always the Kendas in 33x10.5 if you don’t mind the extra weight.
