The SKINNY on skinny tires

I had the same mindset as UT Runner about keeping tires inside the fenders. I considered the 255/85 r16 size, but was concerned about being "too Skinny". I ended up getting the Cooper Evolution MT in 285/75 r16. They seemed to be a good compromise for those on the fence between the sizes. They aren't quite as wide as some other brands 285's and they have a moderate weight for a load rand E tire and the best part is the price. I ended up finding them 145.00 each shipped 2 day FEDEX. The spec's are aprox 32.85" tall, Section width of 11.3", and 56lbs.

 

Or some do it for the better performance in their specific conditions. *shrug*

 

I purchased 255/85R16 Cooper ST MAXX for summer, and stock size Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s for winter. Considering something more aggressive for winter though so I don't sacrifice traction in deep snow on wheeling trips. Maybe studded Duratracs, studded General Grabber A/TX or I'll just pick up another set of Nokians and do Hakka LT3s - either way going to go with 235/85R16s for the next winter set I have to buy. Undecided as of yet but I either need studded ATs or dedicated winter tires for the ice I see every winter.

 

Hey all, new owner of a 2020 DCSB off road and like the 32" skinny LT255/75R17 KO2's. I would like to know if anyone is using this with a stock suspension setup. If you are what wheel width and offset are you using to avoid any possible rubbing issues. I'm trying to decide on a tire for my wheels that are on order. They are 17" x 8.0" with an +15 offset. Plan on staying with the stock suspension and will be using a C load LT tire.

I have crossed off P & ISO metric (SL & XL) tires, D E load heavy weights and lifted 285's and larger. May have to revert to the LT265/70R17 size.

 

The 265/70 17's and 255/75 17's are so close in size, you should have zero issues with rubbing with either of them. They are both a 32" and ok even for fully stock tacomas.

 

Whos making 17x8 wheels? everything I find is 17x8.5

 

Here is 4 choices of wheels, three 17x8" and a 16x8"...

https://wheelsco.ca/products/trdto?variant=31845550784597

2020 TRD Pro Style replica for $199.75 each $799 for 4 CDN free shipping in Canada (Toyota's 2020 TRD Pro wheel is $330 plus $25 for the center cap)

These are available in Matt Black and Matt Gunmetal 17x8" +15 offset 6x139.7



They also sell 2019 TRD Pro Style wheels in 17x8" +15 and 4Runner Pro Style 16x8" +0 and 17x8" +15

 

The BFG KO2 is the only A/T tire I would consider buying in the LT255/75R17 size. I am tempted to buy the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac (on sale 25% off) but they are SL (4 ply) and the KO2 is a C (6 ply).

 

These are virtually identical to the 235/85/16's I run and I have zero issues on a stock suspension. I may lift the front an inch for a bumper and winch, but it's not because I need to. You won't have any problems.

 

%25 off I'd give it a shot if you can swing the discount in load C (if you do anything remote or not so maintained roads)

 

Where are they duscounted?

 

Canadian Tire (Canada)

 

6112’s 4/5 setting, 5160’s, JBA UCA’s, Headstrong 3 Leaf aal, ECGS bushing, sway bar relocation blocks, SCS BR6’s gunmetal in 16x8”, 4.0” back spacing, -12 offset, 255/85/16 Cooper ST Maxx’s. Waiting for alignment, have some usual rubbing as stated by some and should be able to fix with alignment.

 

Looks like you got a small rake out of it too.

 

Lifted about 1.5” front and back to keep the factory rake.

 

I just did the same.

 

Got them. You’re still wrong. Lol

 

Feel better? I think it’s trivial at this point. Once they are on the vehicle you will lose .5”-1” as far as height (from compression). Hope they are everything what you wanted

I just bought some 255/75/17 Hankook and they measure 32.1”

 

It was fairly trivial the first time it was discussed too. You were actually debating with someone else before. But since you were so adamant that the listed specs were wrong I was just offering the real world measurement.
Also since Hankook lists theirs as 32” I would expect they measure close to that hight.

 

What size tire is being measured? 31.7 I'm guessing
