    That is the only rubbing i have. I only have a couple hundred miles on the tires, but love them so far. Especially for the price. @JimboAnz has been running them for a little longer, you may want to check with him for more longevity and actual use questions.

    From my google-fu those 16" FJ wheels are 16x7.5, +15mm offset which should translate into a 4.9 bs. I believe adding your 1.25" spacers would make it ~3.6 bs (causing the extra poke). The 16" TRD PRO wheels I want are 16x7, +13mm (4.5 bs).

    I will be going for the 255/85R16 but I just have to decide whether to go with the ST Maxx or the DCEC.

    Looking for some advice.

    I was initially set on the cooper st.. COOPER Discoverer ST
    Load: D
    Weight: 48 lbs

    Until I realized that the dick cepek is E load and only 2lbs heavier.
    DICK CEPEK Extreme Country
    Load: E
    Weight: 50 lbs

    I’m on the 99% on road (with long road trips) and 1% off road. Planning a trip to Death Valley, so most of what I do is dirt unless I come across a rocky obstical. Dick cepek seems like a good choice, wondering what the general consensus is?

    No regrets with the DCEC for me. Quiet for a M/T which if it is a daily driver should also be considered as well as tread life. I only have a couple hundred miles so I can't say. Earlier in this thread Jimbo Anz has a link to his tread wear update for them.

    I don’t really need a mud type tire but my biggest concern with the ST Maxx is the weight at 59 lbs each. The DCEC are 50 lbs each (as mentioned) for an E rated mud tire.

    Decisions....decisions. Oh first world problems!!

    I think the BFG KM2's are really the best option for the 255/85/16. Tallest, cheapest, lightest in class, and............have quite the following. That is what I will be getting for my 2004 Tacoma.

    I was concerned at first to, but weight doesn't seem to be an issue for me at least. I'm also carrying a bunch of added weight and running at 36-37psi.

    Not necessarily a softer ride, but less load capacity. A softer ride is going to be subjective. A 6 ply tire vs an 8 ply tire.

    Looks like they are available at 4WD.com:

    One thing i would consider in ride quality is the construction of the tire and specifically the side wall. Mine is a daily driver, and that is what drove me to Dick Cepek extreme country over the ST Maxx. The DCEC has a 2 ply side wall i believe. But it isn't stiff and I feel like they ride really nice. They are also more quiet than my other MT's. They have been great in the snow, dirt, wet. I haven't had them in mud, but don't see any issues there either. Give them a look if it isn't a dedicated mudder.

    They look like they’d be a super all around tire. Admittedly, I’ll be doing mostly mud but even that will be so limited it won’t matter. Probably nothing the locker and MTS couldn’t handle with stock tires honestly.

    How’s your mpg after dick cepek tires? And I know you said they aren’t too loud, but how much louder are they compared to stock tires?
