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

He put the original wheel weights back on? Not in the same locations, surely. I've never seen wheel weights reused personally. Honestly I wasn't aware they could be but then again I go to Discount Tire out here and when they unmount the old ones they are definitely not casual about even trying to keep them.

 

He didn't (couldn't) reuse the weights he took off, but they did go back in the same place.

 

Mounted and road force balanced!

 

I agree with this.

 

Just ordered a set of Dick Cepek in 255/85/16!

 

I wonder what the dealership will say if I take it in to have the tires rotated and balanced? Will they notice how much weight is there?

 

I would tell them about it and the fact that it was that way with the stock tires as well.

 

Loving mine so far!

 

Glad to hear! I don’t see many people out there with them but they seemed like the lightest M/T, E rated tire. I’m really excited for them to arrive and was able to get all 4 for $550! How bad was the hit on your mpgs?

 

Where’d you find that deal?

 

I'd like to find that deal as well!

 

Not sure if it’s still going on but 4wd.com had $100 off if you got 4 or more, and Dick Cepek had $100 rebate. Checkout was $599+tax $650 and when I get the rebate card it’ll essentially be $550.. didn’t buy a spare.. prob should have but I’ve spent too much money on mods lately lol

 

That is a great deal. I was real happy paying $600 for mine delivered to the door. Hard to judge the MPG hit because I installed a lift at the same time. Not a big lift, but a lift nonetheless. I also do a lot of (95%) short/around town driving in traffic so I wasn't getting good MPG to begin with. That being said, I am currently getting around 15.5 MPG. As you said, they are very light for an E-rated tire but they are still taller with more mass. I am fine with the MPG hit or I wouldn't have modified the truck.

 

I tried to find the equivalent 255/80/17 but couldn't find one on their site. I'll pay attention there. Thanks for the info.

Seems like the $100 off for 4 deal is over but Dick Cepek still has a rebate for 100

 

That is a killer deal but I need it in a 17" wheel. I would be all over that.

 

True, I’m ok with the mpg. Just wishful thinking lol.

 

I essentially got them for $125 each of you don’t count the tax. Figured if I was going to get tires, I’d do it when there’s a deal and I can sell my oem tires at 4,500 miles lol.

 

How did you guys fix the speedometer?

 

You will definitely need to reprogram it. Not sure if it is something the dealer could do or if there is an aftermarket solution.
