In my quest for the perfect tire w/no lift.. I came accross this article and thought it'd be interesting to share. It compares a 255/85/16 vs a 33x10.50x15. Sorry if it's already been posted. Article

 

Cool Read

 

the size i am going to when my tires burn out.

 

i think i found my new tire size Sweet
i hope there's no rubbing on a 2gen runner

 

Yeah, if you do a search on "255" you'll find there are a few threads about this tire size. I think it makes a lot more sense than slapping something on that's 12.5" wide. One thing I would like to point out about the article, is that while he makes valid points, there is not a whole lot to back up his thesis about some of his claims other than anecdotal evidence. For the most part, I agree with it and I plan on running that size when I finally lift. The biggest problem is that if you don't like BF's or Big-O's there isn't a whole lot out there in this size. I'll try to find what other tires there are and post a link.

Edit: here's a link to a recent conversation:Linky

Edit yet again: Hee Hee... looks like you're already there!

 

whats with the big words , what do they mean LOL

 

That's right my friend!! I always do a search before I post a question haha. Good job on your search as well.

 

new tires and rims...CHA CHING for the bling bling

 

Can I have your old ones for my '91

 

Will they even fit my '91 hehe

 

That a good site. That guy is posts over on planetisuzoo regarding mods to his Trooper, which he also rates highly.

a few folks have run that tire size on their Troopers based on his experience and have been quite happy. But as mentioned earlier, you are limited in tire choice in that size.
