tire down size?

If only there were more options in 255/85/16.

 

265/75/16's are just about perfect with or without a lift. Going bigger creates more problems than it solves.

 

I have a sport that I put a 3 inch lift on looked fine on stock tires. only went larger recently because why not

 

Mine is the near one with a 2 1/2" lift in front and a 2" in back. My tires are 265/70-16". I think it looks fine and handles just like it did before the lift.

I guess I'm old but I think bigger tires create more trouble than they're worth. But again, that's just my opinion.

 

I agree with Winkel for a daily driver stock is good and looks fine I only went up to 265 70 17

 

I love the looks of my 255/85/16 tires. They rock off-road too - and on our many potholed shitty roads.

That said, I tow pretty frequently with a truck that's already quite heavy. 265/75/16 tires would serve me well. I've given serious consideration to going back.

 

right on guys. I appreciate the info. i'll have to look into the 255/85 for comparison next time around. cookie cutters are always better in the snow

 

265 won't rub.. I think..

 

not worried about rubbing with the lift and I'm pretty sure the previous owner trimmed some of the fender also

 

3" lift with 265/75/16 DuraTrac's aggressive tires and after market wheel with the right off set makes the 265's look good.
