    ok cool. I think we were supposed to unrep you guys but something happened with one of your shafts?
    and also with the 255's, i notice BFG only has them in the mud terrain, how do those work on the highway or in the rain?

    Don't mind them as an everyday tire at all. And I was getting about 18.5 before I added some more weight last week. Not sure what I'm down to now.

    So I ended up being over at NOB the other day and i swung by the pier and was taking a look at your truck. creepy, i know, but holy hell that thing is awesome. Im gonna start ordering parts soon, but i want the 255/80/16 and all i can seem to find is 255/80/17. not a huge deal but i want some more tire, and i also want to throw these rims on

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Tacoma-4x4-PreRunner-1995-2014-TRD-16-BLACK-Alloy-Rims-Set-OEM-NEW-/131004067158?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item1e80736d56&vxp=mtr

    any suggestions on where to look for tires?

    normally the second number is lower with a 17in rim than with the 16in to be "the same size"

    in this case, 255/80/17 is roughly 255/85/16

    yeah for the most part

    With inch tire sizes the first number is the height and the second is the width. Well, with metric sizes the first number is the width and the second is the percent of the width that is the sidewall height. Then adding the two sidewalls and the rim diameter gives you the overall tire height.

    from this website. pretty nice u can convert between different size rims and tire sizes
