Keep my 265's or go 285's? Poll

I currently have 265/75/16 Tires and i like them but im not sure on going to 285. My current tires are almost time to trash. But i have another set of 265s in the garage but before i put them on im not sure if i should upsize. I mean my main thoughts are will i get a big loss in mpgs. I have Long travel and have cleared everything in the wheel well so clearance is not an issue.

So 265's or 285's? For those who did the switch was there a big loss in mpgs?

Anybody?

 

285s if you've got the clearance. Yeah, you'll lose some MPGs but don't worry about it. They will fill the wheel well a lot better.

Go for it

OP, I did have 285s at one point, but switched back to 265s. Many reasons.....285s were a mud terrain- found out I didn't need that, I wanted an AT, and I just couldn't stand the sound of the rubbing...But that was on 2.25" of lift...You've got more than that and fiberglass fenders. You should be fine.

 

Why don't you keep the 285's for those days off road? And then put the 265 on while driving around town?

 

being a pre runner you should keep the 265's because your going to lose a little power while "pre running" i would say 285's if your into off roading re: trails, mud where speed doesn't matter. i would think about it because you will feel sluggish with the 285's compared to 265's and then re-gearing will be the best option to get back what you lost which = $$$$$$$$$

bad ass looking ride you have BTW

 

285s

 

Looks like im gonna keep the 265's for now. And use them till they are worn down, in the mean time im gonna build the rear of the truck!. Suspension > Tires.
