I would love to know what you're you're getting for MPG. This is one of the sizes I'm considering as an alternative to a 33 but I keep going back and forth between the two.

I went from about 23-24 mpg with 31x10.5x15's to about 19-20 mpg with my new setup! It is well worth the trade off! These things grab the ground better than any other AT or MT I have ever owned!

I agree with the tight fit.... My 35x10.5's are pretty damn close, if not too much already.

The rear you'll see a small amount of rubbing, depending on what year it is, '86-'88 the rear wheel wells are a bit boxy. Up front going straight shouldn't be an issue but once you turn the wheels, RUB A DUB DUB!! 12.5 will be quite wide on a stock height truck, but it'll look hella cool. You'll need to do a good amount of trimming the front fenders and you might have to chop the front fender apron and make more room, aka tub it.

If you do it, please post pictures.

I run 31x10.5R15 BFG KOs on my stock 87 4Runner. When I used to wheel it before getting my 85 I had another set of rims with 32x11.5R15 BFG KMs for wheeling only. Stock gearing. Couldn't really tell that big of a difference with the 31s, but I did get better mileage on the highway than the original 225s.

We need more people running 35's... you get great looks when a toy on 35's rolls by, espically with 4" of lift

There aren't that many older toyotas around my way ... lifted. I was one of the biggest that was a DD running 4 suspension 3 body and 35x12.50s. I miss that truck some days, but once I get this one going ... I'm sure the looks will come back again. It's a truck that's lifted ... who doesn't like that anyways? If they don't ... what's wrong with 'em? LOL

I can't decide between a 32x11.50 and a 33x10.50. I know I would rather have a MT. I just don't understand why I can get the AT in a 33x10.50 for $105 a piece and the MT for $175. That's a crazy difference in price.

I'd rather see more Toyota's on 35"+ tires with no lift. My 35's already look and feel small, I'm ready to step up to the Q78(aka 36x11) Swampers. About .5" taller and nearly the same width

245/75/16 Revos (~30.5" x 9.5"), went narrower than 10.5 or 265 because I prefer the gas mileage and it's better in snow (not soft deep snow, road snow). Also because it's cheaper.

275/70R16 Keep the warranty!

Bridgestone 275/70R16 Dueler A/T REVO tires mounted on 16" U.S. Wheel custom backspaced 3.125" wheel - 50,000 mile warranty on these tires. LT's carry no mileage warranty.

By going with a p-metric tire you give up 3/16" tread depth but keep the mileage warranty. By researching this heavily you'll find some P-metrics have higher or nearly equivalent tow ratings than the best LTs.
Consider this: Many Large SUV's come with P-metrics stock.

P tires are fine on the road, but if you're gonna go off road you'll want LT regardless....they have more plys and are tougher.
