255/80/17 Owners Experience

My Toyo at2s packed up with mud pretty good, caused some puckering downstairs today when my front end didn't turn with the steering wheel.

 

Some puckering downstairs...

Your Toyo’s are 255 80r17? Any more pics? If so please share

Edit : pics of the tires, not the puckering

 

There are a few I posted in this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-skinny-on-skinny-tires.529656/page-18#post-17182365
Also in my build, though they may be duplicate pics.

 

I did it guys!!!!

 

Love em! - good manners on the road, not too loud, awesome in the snow. You notice the weight and they make those tall gears even taller but MPG hit has not been hit too hard. I do have OV tune. FYI.

 

Beautiful truck.
I have the same wheels and thinking of getting a set of these tires next. Any rubbing?
Lift specs in the front?

 

Nice looking truck! I may do the 255/75/17 and get softer load range tires, how is the E rated Maxx??

 

More pics

 

Thanks! No rubbing noticed but haven’t had a chance to max flex yet. Lift is Bilstein 6112/5160 combo with Dakar leaf pack in rear. Front is set at 4/5 setting. Ended up with about 1.5-1.7 inch lift all around not counting tires.

 

I thought about that size but they weren’t much lighter in STMaxx so stayed with this size my last truck was a 2011 and it did 265/75/16 p rated tire. Wanted to go skinny and options were limited. Ride is stiffer but not jarring.

 

Just thought I'd share mine, just got them mounted last week so no long term experiences but so far power loss doesn't really seem that bad. I also haven't really noticed the same problems everyone else has with their trannies since about 1500 mi but I can do 70-75 pretty easy turning 1700-2100 rpm.

Currently running Icon Stage 1 ET set at whatever height they send them, 1.25" of thread on the passenger and 1.5" on driver. I think it's about 1.5" lift but I didn't measure before, no rear lift yet. Still get a little scrub when fully flexed with the wheel turned but I plan to do a little trimming in the near future.

I really dig how skinnies look on the taco

 

My dad always said, skinnies are better than fatties

 

Wont lie I chuckled

 

Anyone running these on a first gen?

 

Any pics? Did you need to use spacers??

 

Considering a set of the Nitto Ridge grapplers 255/80/17. What is your experience with this tire so far?

 

Happy with them so far. Obviously not a street tire but much better road manners than the Duratracs they replaced nonetheless. Haven’t had any issues with them off road but I’ve heard mud isn’t their strong suit

 

How have they effected your gas mileage?

 

On my 3rd gen I actually get about .75-1.5 mpg better than 265/75r16 Duratracs.
