    Gotta say my pizza cutters haven't had any issues in sand 50 miles down the beach. Even the very loose stuff, they just seem to pull through. I haven't tried burying the truck to the frame but I have pulled out a few fullsize trucks with wider tires without any issues. These tires continue to impress me, very happy overall.

    So it looks like I shouldn't have any issues with my 17x8 0mm offset? Really intrigued by this size

    I decided to play it safe and go 10mm. Let me know if 0 works, it's what I wanted.

    I bought them used. Guy said they had 15k. I put another 15k. So 30k right now. Figure I'd get 40-50. C rated. I have a feeling previous owner put a little more than he said.

    Just curious about their lifespan on our lighter trucks. I think I've got right about 18k on mine now and aside from some trail damage I see no real discernible wear on them right now.

    For those of you who wheel your 255's ***and are using an 8" wheel***, how low are you confident in airing down? I've had consistant good performance and bead-holding ability at 15 lbs on a 7" wide wheel. However, I just switched over to an 8" wheel. Curious what others are running.

    Pics for attention :p

    No rubbing with stock suspension? Taken it offroading yet? You planning on installing a lift?

    Made my first long road trip on my new km2s. Took it down to the gulf for a little fishing . After using gps to verify how skewed my odo and speedo really are , I hit the road and was pleasantly surprised... 4 fillups ranging from 17.8-18.3 mpg , with some idling included . No city driving just hwy from 45-75 mph. 54 miles of dirt / gravel at 25 ish mph .

    Love the km2s for many reasons and this size suits me really well

    Think I'll have any issues with 3.6 inches of backspace with these tires? I've been running 285/75's already for two years, and I've trimmed down the frame for those. Just wondering if these will give me any trouble.

    Thanks for the input.

    No doubt about the ride. Wish I could run mine around 20 psi daily. Ha ha.
