265/75R16 let's see them

Oh! I am liking those. I need to do some more reading on those tires. Your initial thoughts on them?

 

Are you talking about the chrome back bumper? I love it! Looks great with the Silver Sky Metallic color of the truck.

 

Yes, dig the old school look, stickers look rad on it too.

 

Sorry for the late reply.Tires seem good. There less expensive than duratracs yet very similar. Just make sure the place that mounts them has road force. Bought mine when discount tire was doing and extra $110 last month.

265/75/16 K02s, pretty pumped on how this one turned out!

 

I got the dealer to buy my stock tires when I purchased my 23 tacoma. I got the BFG K02's > 265/75R16's in place of them. The ride is a bit stiffer which is great in the turns at faster speeds and does not feel quiet as floaty if that makes any sense. lol. I love them.

 

No rubbing with that set up?? What wheels you got?

 

what lift you got in this?

 

Just got the MT's today

 

Seeking thoughts from those who did it. I am on a stock truck thinking of going 265/75/16 for the extra inch of height but.....

read this article that claims:

Larger tires will more easily roll over larger obstacles off-road. They also look cool. Unfortunately, larger tires will also reduce a vehicle’s effective gear ratio. As I wrote about at length in an article about people ruining their Tacomas, that can utterly destroy a vehicle’s fuel economy, performance, and off-road capability.

 

While the statements shown about larger tires are all correct, going to a 265/75/16 is a very minimal change and will have very little impact on your gear ratio, roll over, speedometer, fuel economy, performance and offroad capability. If you go with a "E" rated tire in this size, you will notice more of the forementioned impact due to the extra weight of "E" rated tires.

I run the 265/75/16 Wildpeak AT "SL" Rated tires. I do a lot of off-roading in rocky terrain and have had no sidewall damage whatsoever, my speedometer is more accurate than on stock tires according to the local radar on the road signs, no noticeable difference in power or fuel economy and the offroad capability is significantly improved. I think the mpg thing is more related to driving style and weight with this size tire. I have RCI sliders, RCI full skids, 200 lbs of recovery gear in the back and a tonneau cover, I still get about 21mpg avg @ 5,500' elevation. I also tow a 3800lb travel trailer and the truck does just fine with this size tire.

Just my personal experience.

 

Thank you. I agree the small change is a big difference from the jump to 34s the guy mentions in the article.

 

Agreed.

The larger you go on tire size the smaller your wallet will get.

 

How much lift do you have?

 

1.5” front and rear
