    Can anyone attest to this size wildpeak or provide any pics?

    I’ve been running 255/85R16 ST Maxx and KM2 skinny 33s. I like the skinny 33 profile but the coopers are heavy at 59lbs and the KM2s although lighter are more offroad oriented than what I mainly drive.

    I was a big fan of the wildpeaks in 265/75/16 and the skinny 33 version is pretty light at 52.5 lbs.

    Thanks

    I am running them on 17x9 -12 offset 4.5 backspace fuel vector wheels (D57917908345) on a stock SR suspension.

    I weighed one tire mounted balanced before putting it on the truck and it was ~87 lbs take that as you will.

    I just got them on yesterday so I can can't speak to performance offroad, longevity, or mpg loss but for what its worth i love them so far and will provide updates when I can. I have them in an e load but haven't noticed a difference in ride from stock I was worried about. Relatively quiet on highways. I'll take more pics tomorrow but this is what I've got

    TRD knockoffs in 17x8 +15 offset. Fitted with Falken Wildpeaks in 255/80r17. I don't think these skinny's on an 8" rim look that much narrower than stock. Just got them yesterday. Drove around 120mi in the Hill Country. No issues so far. Ride great.

    I've got a 2,000 mile update.

    So far I still love the tires and the ride, I've probably done 1/3 of those miles off pavement varying from dirt/gravel roads to easy/moderate trails. They have worn down a little more than I expected especially in the front but I think part of the reason for that is rub when bottoming out the suspension and aggressive trail driving(I beat her up more than I should).

    As far as mpg, the odometer says I've gone 2,130.4 miles and I've put in 117.691 gallons of gas. I don't know where this correction factor comes from:

    but if I use it on the miles my mpg bumps from 18.1 to 19.6. I was getting ~21 before I took off the air dam, and ~20.5 before I switched up the tires, but I've also done a lot less highway driving so overall I'm happy with the mpg.

    Stock tire sizes are 245/45/16 or 265/70/16.

    My tires are now 255/85/16, similar in height to yours. They're taller, so the truck is actually traveling farther per rotation that the stock odometer is calibrated for by roughly 8.6%. That's the correction factor.

    I reset my trip meter every tank. If, when I fill up, the meter reads 325 miles, I've actually traveled 352.3 miles (325 x 1.084). If I fill up with 19 gallons, using the uncorrected miles the math says 17.1mpg. Using the corrected miles I'll see I'm actually getting 18.54mpg.
