Just got 285s, should've gone 295?
After many, many months deciding on tires, I just pulled the trigger today on some 285/75/16 GY Duratracs. I really wanted Hankook MT 295s, but after reading a lot here, I decided to be conservative. I don't want a noisy ride, or an E load for that matter, but the Duratracs were available, $1060 total with hazard. It's not a DD, but I do the Sierra and back in a day--a lot, so that's a lot of highway miles.
I think this is the right choice for me given: SS1.2, 1" BL, 1.25 spidertrax, but they seem small and the power loss wasn't evident yet. Leaving for eastern Sierra tomorrow, so I'll see how Tioga Pass goes.
I'm sure this is more tire than I need anyway.
I appreciate everyone on this board...y'all know your stuff!
Thanks!
Craig
ps. crappy photo...sorry

I think that 4runner looks great the way it is man. Those tires fill it very nicely.

Looks perfect! 285 seems to be a "standard" size that a lot of people go with. I wouldn't want the extra drag of 295s, myself.

Thanks everyone.
I went from 265/75/16 GY Silent Armor. Great on road, but not so in dirt.
I really like the 305, but figured on 7" rim, could pose a problem airing down?

Smaller the rim the LESS likely to pop a bead. Wider the wheel the easier to pop off. 16x7's are know as the cheap mans bead lock in the big tire offroad world. People run 35's on them quite a bit.

Awesome! That I did not know. Thanks. Well, I'll move up in 30K miles or so.
Thanks!
