    I didn't read all the posts (lots of posts...very good thread and I like skinnies, too) but when suggesting, listing or promoting tire/wheel sizes ya' gotta' consider whether your truck is lifted or not...cause' if not there are limits to what works/won't rub. For a no-lift Tacoma and especially if snow/slush/ice buildup in the wheel wells is an issue tires much over 31"D/10.5"W can be problematic. Those tall-tire profiles do look nice, though.

    Good observations.

    I’m also thrilled that McDonald’s printed ‘Caution, contents may be HOT!’ on my coffee cup. Without that information I may have burnt myself.

    You sure? It seems to be popular, also I wonder if that means they won’t be on sale in November

    Right from DTD

    Thank you for your message. We show the Cooper ST Maxx in 255/85R-16 as being discontinued but I checked with Cooper and they have them in stock. Here is a breakdown for 5 of them:

    Update with availability!

    The 255/85R-16 ST Maxx is not being discontinued and per Cooper this tire is available :thumbsup:

    We apologize for the confusion with that!

    Did the chalk test on my 255/85/16 ST Maxx, 3G TRD OR with only added weight of sliders and IFS skid.

    This is with 30-31 psi front and 27-28 psi rear.. chalk wear looks pretty even.

    AD5FF9FF-36CD-4BA0-98CF-C6B69AEA5C7B.jpg

    Just 2 psi higher 33F/31R and the center chalk wore away substantially faster.

    What are you guys running? 30F/28R just seems so low even for an E rated tire on a light truck.

    I agree that it seems like the pressure is way too low but I had similar results on my Canyon with LT285/70/17 Wildpeaks. Chalk wore even at 29psi in the rear and I think 33psi up front. There's not a big weight difference between our trucks. The point is, on midsized trucks it appears that to get even wear you need to run pretty low pressure.
