Put 255/85/16s on stock OR wheels and suspension

All good buddy I thought that was the case

 

After several years of looking at tires. And following this and other threads, today I got 5 BFG KM3 255/85/16 mounted on ProComp wheels. I am happy with it.

 

Looks great!

33x10 is an awesome size for tacos!

 

@RVA Tacoma very nice wheel and tire package. Looks very rugged and capable for off road.

 

So does it rub or not rub? I have same utility package SR, want 255/85/16's on stock steelies but not sure it'll fit until I saw your post. Do you think any brand 255/85/16 will fit, I was looking at the Yoka Geolanders or BFG K02's. Thanks man!! Truck looks awesome.

 

Just a PSA to everyone who has been waiting. The new Wildpeak A/T4 is now live for sale on tire racks website. I think it's the one most people have been waiting for. All terrain load range C

Awesome news, I’m about 4-5 months from needing to replace and have been debating what to do. The ‘non-E’ selection for 16” was pretty limited.

 

I just looked up some specs. They’re beasties at 58lbs.

 

I assume that mass is because of the “Duraspec” (3-ply) sidewall, since it’s still a “C” rating.
They are going to sell a lot of those to Gen4 Tacoma owners.

 

Boyz, stop worrying about what your mud, shit, and blood covered tires look like and worry about what your booty looks like. Women will appreciate it.

 

Fuuuuuuuuck I want those new AT4w in 255/85r16 size. If only they came out a year earlier. I literally got the Wildpeak MT01s in 255 last Feb and I'm considering getting these and selling the old MTs to recoup some of the damage to my wallet.

 

I’ll be getting a set of the at4 in the summer for sure. Will the 255/85/16 for under the bed as a spare?

 

It's tight to the exhaust, but it works if you modify some brackets back there.

 

Yeah, not sure of the draw to these, for me, over my Cooper ST Maxx's, which weigh in at 58 lbs, but are Load E, and still have the triple layering for the sidewall.

I was very excited when a friend told me about these, but at that weight I don't see any reason to switch back down to C Load.

These Falken tires are also 33.1" overall, whereas my Coopers are 32.8", so I would have a bit more rubbing.

 

More pavement-friendly tread design, really good treadwear warranty and 3PMS rating are just a few reasons I think they would be a better choice for a lot of people than the St Maxx’s. Those aren’t advantages for everyone though.

I agree 100% about the weight…I was super excited about these until I saw that they weigh 58lbs.

 

I would just get 4 new tires, and stick with a spare that fits.
Unless you’re going somewhere really important, going home and getting a new tire is a simple matter..

 

I agree.
I once fretted about a spare that was a different size than the other four (when I was new to 4x4).
I could just imagine that odd size being mixed in would cause a differential to lock up or grenade because it was turning at a different speed than its' opposite.
That would prolly hold true - after 50, 60, 100 miles of running it on dry pavement - (have to be in four-wheel drive to have any affect the front diff, obviously).
But that one oddball won't hardly even be noticed if it is used just to get you home (4x2, or 4x4 in the dirt). Limited miles is no problem.

If you want to do five tire rotations... now you have to have all five be the same size.

 

There are a number of reports on here about people fitting 33's into the spare location, but it sounds like it requires some fadangling.
