    Appreciate it, I’ve been looking for a bumper with winch capability that would protect The grill.

    I know I’ve seen it here, but can’t find it on my phone, but can someone upload a photo or point me to one that shows a 255/80/17 or 255/85/16 on a stock height truck?

    thanks

    That’s not bad. How many miles do you have on them? How long do you think they will last?

    Are you compensating the actual miles traveled for the different size tires?
    Your speedometer will NOT register properly, thus you cannot use the onboard computer or even hand calculations unless you adjust.

    Those numbers are not adjusted for the change in diameter. Probably could add ~1mpg or ~6-8% to guesstimate.

    I’ve thought about adjusting the speedometer, however one downside is your drivetrain warranty expires faster.

    I wonder if Toyota would balk honor the warranty while running 255/85/16’s? Honda says no more than 3% difference than stock.

    My dealer told me Toyota would void warranties if I lifter more than 3 inches or ran tires larger than 34 inch.

    That's surprisingly generous. I would have thought they would say anything other than the factory specifications would void the warranty.

    After a lot of contemplating I finally decided to go with the Micky Thompson Trail Boss ATs in the 35x10
    Interesting they don’t appear to be skinny next to the 285/75/16s

    Pics when you get them on the truck please. These tires are at the top of my list along with the Kenda 35x10.50. Can you give us your wheel specs and what you had do do to clearance for them, CMC, Pinch weld, BFH, bump spacers or tubbing?
