Anyone with 255/70/17??

Thinkin of doin these instead of 265's. Anyone got them or have any input please let me know and post a pic. Thanks

 

I thought about it, but it's an oddball size and not stocked at most tire places. It usually only a special order away though got stuff like michelin LTX ms2s though. I was just impatient and went with the 265/70s

 

I was thinking about the same size but have been looking at 255/75/17. More to pick from. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...er=17&AID=10398365&PID=2206300&SID=two2660049

 

That's exactly the size I plan on getting in a couple months - probably either the C-rated ST MAXX's or Hankook ATM's.

First have to get the suspension....

 

I have the Cooper A/T3 in 255/75r17. Very pleased.

 

Any lift? Rub?

 

1.75"of lift. No rubbing anywhere.

I don't think they would rub at stock height either.

 

That's roughly the amount of lift I'm getting as well. Very good to know, thanks.

 

Anyone else running 255-70-17's.?
And what reasons for not choosing 265's?

​

 

Who makes a 255/70/17 ?

well that just isn't true. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...true&pagelen=20&pagenum=1&pagemark=1&x=10&y=7

I don't think it'll fit.

 

Sure will , its essentially the same diameter as a 265/70/17

 

Its about a half-inch larger. I know that when I put 265/70 R 17's on my last truck, things were pretty snug. I'm thinking that if it were any bigger, I'd be SOL.

 

Yes , slightly taller but equally narrower so the corner of the tire is basically in the same place as far as rubbing is concerned .
