    How do studs even go in tires? I just see small holes. Do they screw in?

    I'm running 255/85/16 BFG KM2s on 1st Gen TRDs (4.5" BS).
    The decrease in BS from stock pushes them out .75" more.

    3" OME lift 885s & Dakars riding on 33" KM2s
    On a 7" wheel with the proper lift or bump stops. I'm running OME 885s & Dakars on my 4Banger AC with stock bump stops. My tires don't stuff far enough to touch the fenders.
    That sounds like the Discount Tire Direct price.
    Tire Rack wanted $195 for them. When I told the local Discount Tire they offered them for $190.

    Interesting on the prices. When I was buying DuraTracs last month local Discount Tire could not come within $90 of Tire Crawler for four (including shipping), PLUS Discount has to add $74 in taxes. So I just ordered them from TireCrawler and got them in 4 days, saved $164. And neither price quote included mount and balance so I was comparing apples to apples.

    I like the 255/85 idea but settled for 265/75R16's because I know they will clear without cutting up my truck and a bit less weight. I will get 255/85 one day....

    Stocks work good 1st Gen 16"x7" 4.5" BS & 2nd Gen 16"x7" 5.25" BS
    8" might be too wide to work without new bump stops.
    Also check out page 35 about putting 255s on 8" wheels.

    :eek: Wow where did you get that price from? I had to order a replacement 255/80/17 km2 for one that got sliced and best price I could get was DTD $229 shipped. That was about a week or so ago. Maybe mine was more cause it was only a single tire and not a set? :notsure:
