No need to regear, as long as you stay below 34" or 60lb/tire, I think. Yes the odo is a little off, about an 1mile or 2% @62mph, which is less than 4.7% tire calculator shows.

Thats good to hear. I plan on switching to lighter wheels as well to help with the weight of the tires

It's 52.36 lb based on below.
I didn't have a chance to weight the tire itself. But I did weight rim before I installed the tire and after.
81.48lb (mounted & balanced tire @ 50psi), stock 17 inch TRD OR rim 29.12lb (rim with some old weights on it).

Thanks guys on the rec to 255/80/17. I initially wanted 285/70/17, but didn’t want to do extensive trimming, etc.

Got them installed today. Did two things to clear rubbing which was remove mudflaps, and trimmed a bit of lower fender liner on bumper side and used Ziptied to move it forward a bit. Suspension is OME mediums and 1” BL

Had Hankook ATM prior that lasted just under 60k miles so looking forward to these

Are you running a lift with that size?

I compared mounted and unloaded side by side with stock:
Height:
• Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684II P265/70R17 - 31-5/8"
• Falken Wildpeaks LT255/80R17 AT3W - 33-1/4", 1-5/8" taller than stock.
However, they are 32-1/8" tall (mounted on vehicle @ 42PSI).
Thread width:
Stock: 7-1/2"
Falken: 7_3/4"
Spare fitment:
There is not a lot room left. Honestly, I don't think you can fit anything else bigger than this. At least with KDSS. There is 1/8" at the back (hitch and rear bumper) and about 5/8" gap at the front (stabi bar and kdss piston).

Anyone know how these things handle in snow? Including the nasty, fresh thick stuff?

The AT3's are great tires, we run them on most of our toyota builds. Reliable, durable, grippy, and cheap!

Chiming in as well.

I had them on my 4R and got bombard from a Snowstorm during a trip to Lake Tahoe.. Went around the mountain passing doing 60mph without issues. Like I was really impress with it.. We had close to an inch of snow as well.. Traction was crazy good and enough to stop as well..

This are good tires and worth purchasing.

my room mate has em on his w250 that he bought early last year. i was so surprised by their overall performance that i bought 5 last weekend and had them mounted and balanced:


size is 285/75/16

since its only been a week and a half in the middle of summer, i havent had the chance to put them to the test with any snow on my rig. we did manage to go last winter in my room mates w250 and he ended up saving a lot of people. these tires did great. we only got stuck once the snow got axle/pumpkin deep (which is where rigs with a lot more $$ invested also got stuck, he's open diff F & R). other than that, tires did great. we went the year prior with some old, tired, bald tires on the w250 and got stuck a lot more. its amazing how much good tires can help you.

back to my 4runner. its only been a week and a half now and ive only put about 100 miles on these, but im still super impressed with how they ride and road noise. my other buddy has a 98 4runner with patagonia MTs in the same size. we drove next to each other (for science), and the road noise from his tires completely washed mine out. of course its apples to oranges comparision, but needless to say, he's already picked out his next set of tires.

finally, FWIW, i paid 960 locally (cash) for 5 tires mounted and balanced to my f5s. im in norcal (check craigslist). cheaper than i could find anywhere online.

edit:
also, in this size, it doesnt fit the spare wheel well. mine is currently residing in the back cargo area until i get bumpers.

I'm looking at this same tire and size for my 02' have you done much on a trail aired down? Someone mentioned that skinny you get very little to no side wall grip. Hoping you can share some experience.
