275/70/17 Picture request!
It's about time for new tires! been on my stock for almost 27K miles.
I see 285/70/17 is the most popular...but was hoping you folks would 275/70/17's would post some pics of your rides please. I'm looking to pick up some BFG TAKO's in that size. Oh, quick question, will 275/70/17 fit in the spare tire well? |

Here you go. Went through much of the same dilemma. Just had 275/70/17's BFG AT's put on last Friday. Set the pressure at 45 psi. Also, running Bilsteins on all 4 corners. Front set at .85. Very, very happy with how she is coming along.
Just waiting around for my Shrockworks sliders that I ordered in March. They should be here end of June. Thanks to everyones insight and posts, such a huge help! sorry pic is so big. busy day at work! [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/aexq4h.jpg[/IMG] |
FrontRange4Runner,
thanks! the wheel wheel looks like it has a little wiggle room. should be good to go with 275's. vail4rnr, that looks sweet!!! thanks a bunch! fortunately we just picked up a third car, so i wll get the process started of getting the wheels powder coated black. |

Yes, they definitely took away most of the dreaded nose dive. After the Bilsteins the overall ride is much improved. I am very impressed.
|
Are you running wheel spacers? Those tires look great on the trail rims.
|
Thanks! No spacers, just the .85 setting up front on the bilsteins. No rubbing whatsoever. We will see what happens once I get it off road though.

@vail4rnr
that looks great.

Looks to me like that size is the perfect blend btwn stock and a 285 that has rub issues. Too bad it is made in such limited options. Not available in the BFG rough trail I want. Or the Gen Grabbers I'd consider 2nd. No wonder you only have 1 picture request poster.
|
there are a few 275 brands. Cooper, BFG, Firestone and Goodyear come to mind. You dont get many pictures because 285 is the most common jump from stock
|
Vail4rnr,
Thanks again for the picture! By the way did you notice a significant loss in gas milage compared to the stock tires? I like the looks of the BFG TAKO the best...also considering going with the C rated 265's because they are 10 lbs lighter than the E rated TAKO's. 270's only come in E rated. Plus if I went 265's I feel alot less inclined to buy a 5th TAKO for the spare...decisions decisions |
265 P rated Duratac.... do it
|
Jin, I will be calculating mpg soon. Keep you posted. Being that I went to a 275 I cannot depend on what the computer says on the runner anymore, it threw the accuracy of the speedo off my about 1mph, no big deal.
I was also looking at the duratrac in stock size, E rated as I have ripped through sidewalls before and have run nothing but E's on my tacoma for the last 8 years. Last set I had lasted 70,000 miles. Believe it or not the BFG in a 275 was cheaper than a stock size duratrac E rated. |
