just ordered this lift and now i need to decide on tires. stuck between 255/85/16 or 285/75/16. what do you guys think? ive been looking at general grabber red letters or km2s. i do a lot of commuting for work but i like an agressive looking tire

 

God damn that's some flex, LT right?

 

I forgot to ask before, but is your commute mostly highway or city?

 

95% highway

 

chekc they toyo RT out. Its a new tire hybrid between the AT and MT

 

thanks thats a nice looking tire but they dont have the sizes im looking for

 

I have the general grabber red letters if you want pics. They are awesome tires F the people who bitch about the weight they are fine if your a man. The only downside to these tires is you will have to replace them sooner if all your doing is freeway miles. The tire compound is weak, I had a piece of wood embedded in my tire haha. But aside from that when I did take my truck out with them, they were bad ass tires. Plus the look is awesome. I'm getting the new km2 tires even though it looks like an old bfg tire with a little more flare.

 

yes man pictures would be great. i actually saw one pic of your truck and thats what got me interested in them. how many miles have you gotten out of your set? i really dont beat on my truck so i think with any set of tires i could make them last. also is there red lettering on both sides of the tire or just one?

 

First time I have heard of an R/T.

 

I can't say how many miles I've gotten outta them so for I forgot to track it all. I usually reset my odomerter when I get a new set. But I picked then up 5 months ago been off roading with them 3 times and drive maybe 60 miles a week on them and they still look amazing. The red letters can get messed up but only if your a shitty driver and scrape curbs I just mount them haha. The other side is all black which is suuuuper nice because after a few years I've heard the red letters dis color. When I see a little discolor start I'll take them off and sell em.

If you go though discount tire they will have to order them out but get them from them they are cheap and of anything ever happens it's like 50 bucks for a brand new tire installed.


Aloe check out the new Micky Thompson Brian deegan tire they are super bad ass and heard amazing thing about those tires. More then Likly that's my next set. But if you got anymore questions PM me and I'll shoot you my number and can get you pics and anything you need.

 

i like the dick cepek fun country. I'll probably get them next time around

 

thanks you da man sprink! and ill be sure to check out those micky thompsons. I am still torn between the 255 285s tho. i wish i could see them in person to gauge the look. ive never seen a lifted reg cab in person so its hard to tell what its going to look like. my lift will be here friday so i need to hurry up with the tire decision

 

If you want certain pics just hit me up. I'm running 4" maxtrac spindles. 2.0 fox coilovers tc Uca and blah blah blah. I can take some measurements and you can make them on your truck to see while it will sit. But I hear you it's hard to make a choice if you haven't seen it.

What color truck you got.?


285 you gotta do a little chopping but if your lifting your truck 285 are what you want

 

its magnetic gray with a matching shell. just heard that the bfg AT KO2 is coming out in 2 months. they sound sweet but 2 months is a long ways away

 

Honestly they look like bfg All terrains with a little more edge. Personally I think there are better tires out there. Here are the deegan ones they are self cleaners and he has won a bunch of races with these


I think he has one with deegan in bigger white letters. Either way I think these are the shit with really great reviews

 

yeah they look good but im just not feeling the sidewall. deegan is the man though

 

X2

If you see them next to each other you won't want a 255...

If you see a 285 next to a 315 you won't want a 285 either though... Just sayin

 

Yeah that's why I hate babytaco haha i hate his 35" now that I went 33". My next size will be 35" but my truck will be 100% off road. But the other dude is all freeway so 35" would be waay to much for him 33" would be the shit.

The side walls I think make the tire but to be a 100% cleaning tire from mud rocks etc... Is pretty cool too. I'm getting those in 35" for sure

 

Lol! Sorry! Honestly, even though I have actually found use of the 35s maybe once or twice so far just walking out to my truck makes it worth it.

I am ordering front glass next week .
