BFG KO2 235/85/16 on 4x4 Reg Cab

I'd like an update when u get them on the highway!

 

you got it. im hitting the road this weekend. should get a good sense of highway noise and mpg.

 

Thanks man!!!

 

do you have pics of your truck with the duratracs on it? im interested in this size for winter

 

Looks great,

I appreciate the pics as 235s are on my radar for this coming spring.

By chance you have any further away shots that show the width of the tread and the stance?

I just wanna see more 235s on 2nd Gens with stockish wheels.

 

You gotta post some photos, I'm dying to see the STT Pro's in that size. The 2nd gen 5 spoke steel wheels do indeed have 5.25" backspacing. They should be fine on your 2nd gen, since they were designed for it. Right now I have them on my 1st gen and just discovered a bit of frame rubbing, so I'm going to try some 3rd gen 4runner wheels with 4.6" backspacing. Hopefully that will fix it.

 

check my build link in the sig. 4.5 to 4.75 bs is ideal for theae tires imho

 

I'm thinking about getting this same size tires in the ko2's on my 2011 4 cylinder 4x4 next week. Rcsteele are you have any problems with the tires, are they rubbing at all? Thanks for the pictures.

 

I had my ST Maxx 235/85's remounted on 3rd gen 4Runner wheels and no more rubbing. Tested them thoroughly this time. Had to go white instead of black because I have a severe phobia of my truck looking like a hovercraft after sunset:

 

no problems whatsover! and no rubbing either.

djb1 - that looks badass.

 

Update on MPG changes?

 

i dont have the digital readout, so i dont have exact numbers. but i didn't seem like there was a big noticeable mpg difference on the highway. i have a feeling driving around the city tho, i will take a hit.

 

going thru 1st and into 2nd from a stop, thats when i definitely can feel the extra weight of the tires. 4cyl life i suppose.

 

What was your average MPG before the 235s?

 

18-19ish mpg. driving around nyc. lots of stop and go.

 

Yeah that's a killer.

I wish these were available in a C load. You remember what these weigh?

 

48 lbs. per tire.

plus i have the steel wheels, not alloys.

 

agreed C load would be nice!

i pretty much only drive on the weekends. if i drove daily, i dont think i would have been so cavalier about throwing mpg's to the wind.

 

Need to get 17 inch wheels and run a 265 70 17 c load bfg ko2!!!!!

 

LOL
