235/85/16 The Skinny

Looks great! How is the ride on the Falcon muds?

 

A bit stiff at full pressure but aired down off-road they are great. Very stable in road and a bit noisy.

 

I had the same exact experience. After they put them on the truck they understand.

 

Anyone have these on a 3rd gen with a 3” lift? Don’t know if I should go these or 255

 

With that much lift, if it were me, I would go 255.

 

I have run the Cooper ST Maxx Pro on my last three vehicles. (2nd gen Pre-Runner, 17 Ram Reg Cab with Four Wheel Camper and a Wrangler Jk) I really like the tires except the cost. Does anyone have a picture with the 235/85-16 ST Pro's on a stock suspended Tacoma 4x4?

 

Looooove this size in the snow. I'm regularly passing full size trucks that have slid off. It's insane to me that I can climb steep, snow covered roads without even a slip. I'm sure my camper shell and extra weight back there is helping a lot as well.

 

I have 235/85R16 Stt Pro mounted on Method 301 16x7. I plan on installing my 3” lift real soon. So we’ll see what it looks like. I may need to go up a size in tire. Not sure about the 255/85 they are quite a bit heavier. I’ll try to get pics after I lift.

 

This is why I love the skinny. Going up my driveway with a foot of fresh snow is a breeze.

 

They've served me well in the snow too.

 

Here they are on a stock 2017 OR. First two pics show them as installed on 01/28 - last 3 are after I installed 1.25 Spidertrax spacers a few days ago. Stability is increased a little and I think they look a lot better coming right out to the edge.... I love these tires!

 

I bought a set (In route) of Falken WP MT01 - 235/85R16.
They'll be mounted on wheels like the stock wheels @excentryk is running above.
My truck is a 2004 DC TRDOR, with 3" leveling lift and AAL in the back, with a Leer canopy.
I'll post pictures after they get installed.
If any particular angles wanted, let me know.

 

I considered the STT Max, but nothing in stock to mount up for visuals.

The MT01, it's definitely not short on tread.
I had to decide AT or MT.
Falken makes nice tires. The Rubitrek AT was a nice tire. Coming from a 265/70, the 235/85 gave me big ole grin. It filled the front nicely, like it was meant to be there.
The Terapeak MT01 was mounted on another wheel. I was sold before it was bolted on.
I think a little too aggressive, but I figured why the heck not. The truck is going to be a dedicated trail/hunting rig.

 

I'm hopeful the MT01's will fill the need and perform as expected.
The truck won't get driven much on pavement, except to and from gravel roads.
I'm not rough on things, so these tires should last a long time.
And I got the tire certificates as cheap insurance.

 

Post some pics when you get them please! I had to get a new truck so looking to upgrade tires and the MT01 is my #1 choice right now. Hard to find any info on them since they're so new, can't go wrong with Falken though.

 

I sure will.
I expected them to arrive yesterday. Nope, they're stuck in Winnemucca, NV.
Meanwhile, I forgot to get a matching spare. I just ordered one.

 

The FEDEX man surprised me today. Tires arrived.
BFG A/T 265/70R16 to ---> Falken Wildpeak MT01 235/85R16

Hopefully I can have them mounted tomorrow

 

After I got them mounted, I went for a ride for about 60 miles. Both highway and through town.
They're not real noisy, but they do hum a bit more, compared to the BFG AT3's they replaced.
The ride is pretty smooth.
From the ground to the fender well, is 36".
Center bore to fender well is approx 24"

Factory 3rd Gen 16" Wheels
Falken Wildpeak 235/85R16

I like them.

 

Head on picture would really show the stance well. Do you have one? I like this size tire.

 

Head on.


Here's a nice back shot.
