The SKINNY on skinny tires

This is the crap that worries me about the ST Maxx tires...I don't want a mud tire but may look at those options because of this.

 

I had mine road forced balanced 2 times and never had any problems...9k miles on them so far. He could have just gotten a tire way out of round from factory or the person doing it doesn't know how to balance a tire.

And to note any Mud terrain can be tough to balance especially if they have a lot of miles on them.

Got a link to that deal?

 

I've got mine on 1st Gen TRDs that push them out 3/4" farther than stock.

255/85 R16 KM2s on 1st Gen TRDs

 

That looks like 235

 

I am new to the site and don't know how to link something. I can give a little update though. I ended up cancelling that order because it was back ordered for 4-6 weeks. I have my lift arriving this week, and I am too impatient to wait a month and a half to install it. I went through Summit Racing out of Ohio, it was $20 more a tire, but they were in stock and arrive today. For me the $80 was worth not waiting 6 weeks.

The Dick Cepek $100 off promo is company wide. It doesn't matter who you order though. It is a mail in rebate, but you can upload an invoice to their rewards site and it is pretty easy. It is supposed to take up to 10 days, so I will report back and let everyone know how their rebate process goes. Total from Summit Racing is 783.88 for tire, then there is the $100 rebate. I am sure there are better deals out there, 4 wheel parts was $20 cheaper per tire if you have 6 weeks to wait.

 

Just ordered my Cooper S/T Maxx 255/85/16’s today!! Woohoo!

 

I think it's cuz of the tread design. So it looks even skinnier.

 

In the 3rd rectangle the 1st option is to add a link.
I found the deal at https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dick+Cepek&tireModel=Extreme+Country&partnum=585QR6EXCOWL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

 

The bfg,s on my lc looked skinny compared to the Toyo mt it has now both 255/85/16

 

Here is a link to the summit racing deal. I forgot there is free shipping as well.

Dick Cepek Extreme country 255/85/16

 

km2s have a pretty narrow tread.. half the reason I went with them.. between the skinnys, and the slightly wider stance, I'm very happy.. With the 6MT I also find my gears much more useable, I was concerned about loss of power, but its all around improvement..

gotta fix that torn cv boot tho

 

Toyos run taller but the same width as an st maxx. The design of the tread and sidewall can make you see things differently. Wheel specs will make a huge diff.

Might as well add an updated pic.

 

That tire is a nice width for your wheel. Looks killer

 

Yea the TRD Fj wheels was made for the 255s. Never experienced rubbing ever at any point of my build.

It's hard to move away from this wheel

 

Want Toyo’s bad

 

Same here but I got a long ways to go before I run there st maxx out.

 

i was just about convinced on skinny. i've been running a 265/75/16 BFG All Terrain. I was looking to go to 285 as i have plenty of room with my lift (3" front and rear) but don't want to go to a mud terrain due to road noise. Truck is primarily an on road truck with left/tires for looks and occasional trail/creek crossings when at farm through the various hunting seasons. what would the comparable tire to a BFG All Terrain be that comes in the 285 height?
