255 75 17 DURATRACS installed on stock 2012!

IT IS Tomorrow already......what are you waiting for?

More more pics please.....

 

Having internet issues but I'll try to get more pics up tomorrow. Here's a couple to tide you over lol.

 

From the front

 

Compared to the 265 70 17 and 265 75 16 size a lot of people are running. The 255 75 17 is a standard load tire so it has less ply than that of a c load range tire. The result is a softer tire that is smoother riding. It also makes it lighter...then combine that with it being narrower (less surface friction) and you get a little better mpgs even though you gain about a half inch in tire hight. This tire size also makes my dual cab long bed much easier to park because it requires so much less effort to turn a narrow tire at low speeds. Hope this is helpful!

Just FYI. For anyone mulling this over. Spent a lot of time debating my new tires. 255/75/17 work great on my stock 2014 dclb TRD Sport.

I haven’t taken it in any flexing situations but normal driving (full lock, reverse, turning onto my steep driveway etc they seem to work fine no rub).

 

Hey guys I know I’m a little late to this discussion but I’ve noticed most guys running the duratracs in this size on a stock taco. Do we know if ko2’s or any other tire would clear as well as the duratrac in this size? I would hate to take a gamble and find out I’m rubbing after spending a bunch of money... hope someone else has some experience thanks
