I just got some tires too....BFG AT 265/75/16.

looks much better i think, it makes a lot of difference to me at least. =) no biggie just tires....Since the SC is a no go for me, I had to fill the void in my life...I know how a lot of you feel about the white lettering being out, but please dont bash, i just like the look. thought i'd share my joy







Sorry about the big pics...It feels a lot higher riding my rig now...but the noise factor is definitely there, my stock suspension feels loose....time for some Bilsteins

pics no worky for me

2001Millrunner

no way! i thought it worked??????????????????? it might be a browser issue, what do you use? netscape or IE?

Mad Chemist

Nice tires Ray. BTW, I have my white lettering showing as well, so no bashing from me!

AznSky

ok it's probably the browser issue. I'm using an old version of ie at work.

Woodbert

Nice Ray. I went with the white out as well, for the first time ever. Maybe it's just cause it's different but I like it for now.

TDiddy

What did you have on there before that 265/75's make it feel higher?

rwmorrisonjr

Looking good with those whites out! I'm going to go with that size for the next time, but will go with the Bridgestone AT Revo's as they are quieter and ride better than the BFG's.

outdoorfever

looking good, i as well have white letterin' out. nice looking rig as well.

AznSky

Ok Nooooowww I can see it. Yea the white lettering looks better with your millenium silver

I had the 265/70/16(factory spec). ne ways, yea it's an inch taller off the ground.

TDiddy

Actually I think its 1/2 an inch. The entire diameter is 1 inch greater. Just curious, when I bought mine it only had 245's on it.

2001Millrunner

245s? no way! was it 16in rims? i see that you have 16s now but did urs come with the steel rims originally? cuz for an sr5 thicker tires and 16in rims would have been an option that you'd pay to get. and about my tires, yea i think it'd be 1/2 inch higher, thanks for correction, i have bad tendency to imagine and creat things in my head, thought i had rear lockers too at one time too.:cry:

TDiddy

Yep, they were 245/75/16. I'm sure they came originally with 265/70's, but whoever had it before me must have went cheap when they replaced the original tires.

They looked soooo stupid after I put the OME coils and shocks on there! I went straight to 285's.

AznSky

hey I had 225's on mine

but now I have 265/75's bfg a/t's. You'll like those a lot.

2001Millrunner

JESUS guys 225s?(BTW size of my brother's RAV4 tires) and 245?, good thing you guy bought rigs that OBVIOUSLY didnt go wheelin haha BTW any of you guys know how much shocks installs cost? i'm talking about all 4 of them

AznSky

a good price should be around 150 or so. however I've seen prices up to 280 (friend got his ome's installed this summer)


But you should really try to do it yourself, cuz the only hard part is messin with the spring compressor IMO

So I'm just gettin SAWs

But yea, normally it's 3 hrs. So avg between 45-90 bucks an hour.

2001Millrunner

whoa screw that! i'd rather do it myself, hope that spring compressor treats me well and let me keep my 10 fingers when im done

AznSky

what do u plan on getting??

Tacoma Dude

Looks nice Ray

Yeah, I noticed a little bit of height when I got into my truck after new tires too
