    And in case you have seen this, it's great for when you are contemplating different size tires...

    I feel like you can look at this all day long but you'll never know if the tire looks good on your vehicle.

    Hmmm.. I think I figured out what tires I want to switch to, can someone confirm if they will fit without a lift?

    I've used that, I like the visuals on the new tool better. Not saying replace, but add to the list.

    They also have an offset calculator... playing with it now.

    I was referring to the link to the TW tire size calculator, not the offset calculator from the other site I posted...I've seen that.

    @speedtre thank you again, this is going to help me make a sound decision.

    I've been looking for this tool, now I can figure out what size without having to chop anything.

    Here are some pictures of ko2 235/85r16 on a 2017 four door long bed. These were from my 2011 single cab and I wanted a 10 ply tire for my trip to Colorado. So far I think I like them on this truck too. Also the last picture is with the stock size on driver side and 235/85r16 on passenger side.

    How is the handling compared to stock? Can you take corners just as fast? Excellent pics man.

    The only difference in handling I notice is that the ride is alittle harsh compared to the stock tires. That's because the 235's are E rated and stocks arent. By harsh I mean you can feel the bumps alittle more in the road. I feel like I can take corners just as fast, but I drive it like a truck and not a sports car with any size tires.

    I did air them down to 18 psi for the alpine loop, imogene, and Yankee boy. Made for a pretty smooth ride. I didn't notice any difference really, maybe a little easier to turn the steering wheel that's about it. As far as mpg goes I haven't had them on this truck long enough to know. If it's anything like my 2011 I will lose 1 mpg over the stock tires.
