Next best to 255/85 is 235/85 or 245/75. Both great fits.

Uhhhhhh, if I did the math right a 255/65 is a 29" tire which is stock diameter I thought? I run a 235/85/16(almost 32") tire on my daily driver with an Old Man Emu lift and it's money. Anything less than a 235/85 is a waste IMO. :)

better traction (except sand) cheaper lighter better steering better fender clearance Thanks! Not to mention that Disco's look sweet with pizza cutters. :D |

Mine came with 235/85 and I swapped to 245/75 with a passenger rating to get a little better mileage and acceleration. Didn't really do much for either. The 245/75 is adequate with a OME HD lift, but my next tire will be a 255/85. Instead of more suspension, I think I will try to fab up a 1'' body lift. And for lost power either get a used 1.41 TC or rebuild and re-gear mine. 255/85 I think can be done that way with minimal trimming.

Well I'm at Discount Tire now waiting for them to test mount a 235/85 BFG AT KO. We'll see.
BTW Eric, much of my wheeling WILL be on sand! I'll just air the hell out of them. No biggie. |

Huge difference between yours and mine. I have stock front bumper and no trimming anywhere.

Eric that is a really sweet set up. Where did you find those wheels?
I run a 2 inch lift and 245/75 and I really wish I had gone with the 235/85. I think those are a great sweet spot. I've been thinking about the 255-85 too but I had worried they would be too much. Plus I hate mud tires. I wish you had taken a pic. Wouldn't mind seeing how the 2" lift and the 255 looked. |
They're used on NATO military Wolf Defenders. Both AB and RN sell them. They're 6.5 inches wide though. Perfect for skinny tires, but not anything over 255.
