In general, these are not that loud on the highway, the weight is great, the roll resistance is fair, ride quality is really good, and the traction is amazing on dry roads on gravel. ...its literally just the looks that have me questioning my choice. Yeah, I'm that guy.

I really appreciate the fact that my local Discount Tire has been so patient with my indecisiveness.



I think it looks freakin awesome with the pie cutters!

With all the back and forth I went through on this, I actually ended up shooting a video about the problems I came across. In the end, we stuck with the 255/75R17 tires because we had no issues with them.

Can someone tell me how the 255s are pizza cutters when they are about an inch narrower than the "fat" 285s?

Because they are skinnier? Maybe not as drastic as 235's, but leaning toward the cut through vs. float over mentality in tire upgrades? I can tell the difference visually.

moar 255 porn please!

Looks good. Am really interested in your thoughts on road behavior and/or wheel wobble. Are there any issues with going skinnier?

I agree with you about the exaggeration of calling them pizza cutters. It’s just a catchy name for any tire that’s narrower than stock.

It’s about a 10% difference. I learned in a psychology class years ago that the human brain can’t really tell differences less than 3%. People can tell a 10% difference. Not a big difference, but still noticeable.

LOL I know, some other user crapped on me for calling them pizza cutters, they are absolutely noticeably narrower at least to me.


I have a duratrac 255/75r17 for winter. They are a hell of a lot light than my 285/70r17 D MT/R's and boy do you notice it when you first swap them out. The MT/rs feel more planted for sure but the duratracs drive and handle just fine, there are pretty dang good in heavy sloppy snow all the way to powdery cold fluff and well as good as a tire like this can be on icy roads.

Well when you put your question like that, the answer is probably going to be "no."

Dusting this thread off, and going to see of jbl911 is still around ...

How did those Coopers work out? Did you get the "pull-to-the-right" that people mention?

thx!

You didn't ask exactly but its close. 34x10.50r17 toyos. About what a 265/80 would be if it existed

Height is right around the 255/80 and maybe 1/2 wider

Guy you worry to much. Look at the specs on various 265 vs 255 depending upon rim width and varying manufacturers you may find 255s that look visually wider than comparable 265s. Your 255s look fine. Ive got several sets of 265s in MT, AT, Snow they are fine. Some like bigger, its whatever. But dont worry about what others think, lifes to short for that shit...but what you like and enjoy it
