    Wider is usually better for rocky stuff. More tire to "wrap" around rocks on an air downed tire..least that's what I think..

    from the looks of it, going from 265's to the 255 will only be a little more than a 1/4" difference in width so i dont think it would be to much worse!

    ok maybe not over an inch but more than a half inch. 33x10.5's generally measure out to about 32.5" while the 255's measure out to 33.2" or so.

    Well today my little taco died on me :( My timing belt is done and I think my water pump and thermostat are done too. Especially since my rad and coolant reservoir were boiling when i got to work! Not a good sound to hear just before work...
