    It would have been even better if it wasn't the nasty winter gas.
    Depending on how hilly the driving is I go from -2 (hilly) to +2 (flat) MPGs compared to stock tires.

    Well, they are on there. The right front tire rubs the mud flap when I make a right turn but the left doesn't. I drove it running errands this evening. I can hear the km2's but it's not offensively loud. This was actually my second choice of tire. My first choice was Toyo M55. I just couldn't afford them this time around. The TRD wheels gave my truck a wider, stockier looking stance. These tires definitely fill the wheel wells. I'm gonna hook up the gps to find out how far off the speedometer is.

    I think this size tire and those wheels look "right" on your double cab. As you said they fill the wheelwell nicely.

    Looks great Neil. Keep us posted on noise, vibes, mpgs etc.
    If I could be sure they'd be quieter than my Duratracs, I'd love to go with those.

    Anyone running the Toyo Open Countries in this size?

    KM2s seem to be most prevalent.

    I'm not sure what it is as a percentage but it's progressively worse the faster you go. At 20mph on the speedometer your actual speed is 21mph. At 40 mph on speedo your actual speed is 42mph. By the time you hit 70 mph on the speedo, you are actually traveling 74mph. I guess this makes sense because the only time your incorrect speedometer calibration for 30 inch tires is going to match your actual speed with 33 inch tires is at 0mph.

    Managed to fully stuff my 255s this afternoon. My rear fender flares did not like this at all. I think I need to trim some parts off of the stock fender flares towards the bottom on the front edge. I can see where the tires rubbed and then started to crack the plastic on one of the flares.
