My Overland Taco

Yes, but if you call Jason Demello at 951-735-4417 and he can build one for your truck.

 

Got my new tires today, 255/85/16 KM2 BFG's.

 

Sweet! Those really fill the wheel wells nicely.

 

It just keeps getting better. Truck looks good.

Funny, they are taller than the other tires, but look smaller! I guess it's because of how narrow they are. 33 X 10 w/ no rubbing.

 

They look awesome!!! how the power? are you going to have to regear? MPG? sorry for all the questions but this is pretty much everything i want to do to my reg cab

 

Not a big issue about the gearing, but if I end up putting a locker in the rear I'm half way done. Those tire get some awsome traction and don't have a lot of noise. I think the mpg will most likely go down, but I wouldn't let that keep you from enjoying yout Taco.

 

im just debating between 235/85s or the 255/85s. I plan on doing a lockright in the rear but with the 410 housing 4.56 are not possible. You need the 3.73 housing to go to 4.56. 4.88 is the next up for the 4.10 housing. so gearing can be a PITA.

Wish they made duratracs in 255/85... guess my next option is discoverer ST's

 

im jealous yo. you had a FJ with tent. damn....sweet man!

 

Just took it out for about 60 miles on the highway, handles a little different (that can be expected w/ new tires) and some noise. Now to start on the electronics, lights, GPS, radios, fridge..

 

What do you have planned for the electronics and gps?

 

I want pizza cutters. I wish they made more sizes. There is a member here that has the Coopers and he seems to like them. I am debating whether I should go 255/85/16 pr 265/75/16. If I go with the smaller I would likely get the Duratracs but if I go with skinny tires I would likely get KM2. Keep us updated on your KM2 with on and off road use.

 

235/85 16s are 32" and lighter and cheaper than 265/75s

 

Well maybe I should get those...who makes that size? Going to tire rack now...

 

Roland I just went to a calculator place and they say for 235/85/16 they recommend 6-7 in wheels...I have 8 inches. 16x8, they are not much different then 265/75/16s

 

everybody... initially meant for dually tires. work amazing in snow...

discounttires.com sell BF goodrich commercial traction T/As for 121/tire. Cheap delivery too since theyre in anaheim

 

Here is a comparison

 

Out of those three I would go for 265/75 because you know you won't rub and a regear would be less neccesary not that it is with the 255 it will just be less.

 

Well that is my plan right now when it is time for me to upgrade. I wheel fine in my stock ones so a little bigger and better traction would be more than enough.

 

We think alike.
