LWN, Those look great! I really wanted to go with a C rated tire for a softer and more comfortable ride on road. Plus the E weigh more. Can you describe the on road characteristics of this setup and have you noticed less MPG?

The 275s do look like they fill the wheel arches a bit better. Call me crazy.

Thanks.

Thanks - they do look much better than the stock tires, and no rubbing whatsoever with the 275's. I actually had the dealer swap my tires so I can't compare the before/after MPG. But they handle fine and the ride isn't noticably harsh. But then I've had the same tire, albeit in a 16" tire with D load range, on my 98 4Runner for the last 10 years so I may just be used to it.

To me, the ride actually feels very nice, MUCH softer than my 98, but I'm sure it is some degree stiffer than it would be with a C rated tire. A lot depends upon the tire pressure you run in them. But then again, I've consistently got 60-70K miles out of the last three sets of BGF AT's I've owned and have never had any problems with them - they always wear perfectly, and I like that.

Do you think a 285 would fit?

LWN said:

Quite possibly. It looks like I've got 1/2" of clearance on the front & rear with the 275's, and I believe a 285 would be 1/2" taller, or 1/4" on each side. The position of the tape isn't the best, but the clearance is very close to 1/2" front and back.

No problem - although I should have mentioned that those pics were taken from the front & rear with wheels locked hard right/left. When straight there's ample clearance. But you're right, it's tough to say if 285's would rub under full compression.

how much were a set-of-5 your new BFG tires (if you don't mind my asking)?

i'm taking delivery soon of my new SR5 and thinking about trading in my fresh, zero-mileage stock tires for a set of all-terrain tires.

Hello all. Still would love to see more pics. I still not sure what to get. The BFG TA and Duratracs above both look good. I noticed they are both E rated tires. I would prolly get C, And those have WOL, White Outline Letters. Wonder how that would look on my Black truck.

anyone know if i can go bigger than the stock 245/60/20 on my limited. I just picked up my 4runner on Saturday. I sold my Nissan Titan w/ 9" lift and 35x13.5x18on it.
the tires on my 4runner look like 10 speed tires.
any help would be appriciated.

I'm on fence with deciding on new tires for my Trail... Obviously i love the look of the Good Year MTR. A lot more than the side tread of the Duratracs... MTR looks more aggressive and like the angle tread, looks like motion. Duratracs look like a work tire. I may go with a more Highway tire such as the Revo 2. Post all pics please.

thanks!

I bought a set of take off FJ wheels and take off Jeep Rubicon tires ($650 total for the full set of 5 wheels and tires) to use as an off road set - very economical and you can still have the MPG's you want when you are not off road by putting the stock wheel tire combo back on. -- Works for me!
