The SKINNY on skinny tires

Hey, were talking skinny’s here not caps, move on

 

Do you want to talk to the manager, Karen?

 

I can do one better.

Has anyone used or are running Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 in 255/75/17? https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/bridgestone-dueler-a-t-revo-3/p/42034

I am thinking of getting these but I am on the fence about them. I want a light 33" tire on a stock suspension with preferable no cutting needed to fenders. I don't care if I have to remove the front mud flaps. I'm on the stock 17" rims. I think there 7.5" wide if that matters.

 

those are 32"

 

And really expensive. I paid $100 less per tire for the same size ST Maxx.

 

Those are skinny 32’s. They would fit for sure.

What wheels are you using? Been wanting ones in that style, but most seem to be too wide to run a skinny tire on.

 

one can hope...i'd be all over that!

 

Searched but failed. Discount Tire is showing the 255/80/R17 ST Max as 51#. Can anyone confirm that? Trying to decide between Falken AT3W, new Toyo ATIII (listed in this size, but not available). Looking at weights because TurdGen...

 

Did you look at Cooper’s website? They have tire weights listed. Edit- Cooper says 58 pounds.

Big tires are heavy. The ST Maxx’s are great. Just do it!

 

Honest question, does anyone know if BFG will ever do the Ko2 in 255? My next truck I’ll either run Falkens or Cooper unless they do. I’ve had good luck with them.

 

They are closer to 60lbs
58 or 59 if I remember correctly

 

Wow, that’s a huge difference vs. published weights.

Anyone have real, measured weights for the 255/80/R17 Falken AT3W?

 

I can confirm that the 255/80 STMaxx is indeed closer to 60#. Had them on my 2nd gen. My highly scientific digital bathroom scale put all of them around 58 and change.

That kind of mass on a turd would be noticed if you aren’t regeared in my opinion. I felt the difference even on the 4.0 that has better low end torque.

 

Thanks for the info. Trying to stay around 50-52 lbs. Have 46 lb C load 265/75 now and it’s manageable. OVTune has gave it a lot more pep so I’m feeling ambitious about going to tall skinnies. Have 17” TRD pro wheels sitting and waiting for me to make up my mind on tires.

 

I recently put on 255/80r17 Falkens on mine, 17x8 +15 offset wheel and no lift. From my experience, about 1200 miles on them, you do notice the weight of the tire but it's not a dramatic difference from stock. I use the ECT button and no longer notice it hunting for gears as often as it did on the stock tire.
