    What are your opinions on these two size tires on a 16 limited with icon stage 1 lift with icon proggresive aal and total chaos uca. i will use this most 90% on road and 10%light offroad. I also will be pulling a 20ft skeeter bass boat once or twice a week up to 70 miles. what your thoughts on looks, performance, and effect on towing and mpg and any clearance issues.

    Go with the 255/80/17. If you're on the road 90% of the time, it's a no brainer. The tall and skinnys will save you mpgs, while the 285s are mostly for looks.

    Hey guys hope you can help me out. I have a 2016 DCLB TRD offroad arriving in a week. I purchased a 2016 OME 2 inch lift in the medium load. I want to get the 255/80/17 Cooper STT MAXX's with method NV wheels. Prior to the lift can they fit? After the lift should I have any issues?
