    For those like me, the Friday night beer and youtube video is a nice way to relax at the end of the work week. Well, while perusing the ol youtube, I came across this video -

    3 Scientific Experiments to Settle This | Wide vs Narrow Off-Road Tires - YouTube

    I wasn't entirely sure were to put this, but I wanted to put it out there for those who needed a better break down or visual reference of skinny vs wide tires. I just found this guys channel and this video was posted yesterday, I think.

    I doubt he's on Tacomaworld as he has an FJ but man, huge shoutout to him for breaking it all down and making it easy for my pea-brained self to see! (And also his FJ was easy on the eyes to look at for 16 minutes!)

    And just in the case someone gets a crazy hair up their butt, I'm not claiming this video as my own, just simply putting it out there as I thought it was a great explanation.

    Have a good weekend y'all! :cheers:

    Thanks for sharing. Not often you see someone actually running an experiment before making a claim.

    There is a 255/85R16 thread and a 255/80R17 thread that this has been posted to.

    Good video!
