255/75/17 KO2 Pizza Cutters

[dawhoo]

I like the look but know it's not for everyone. 32.1" so not much of a difference but the ride is a tiny bit better. It I really like the way it looks.



I have the SR5 4x2 with no lift



Fills the wheel well well

No rub at full turn forward or back and have OEM mudguards.

Ride is a little better than the 265/70 C but barely noticeable. The wife now had the 265s on hers and it looks tough in silver the the trail edition rims.

Ah, but in a side view, they look like any other 32.1-inch tire. Show us a front quarter view with the wheels cut!

I like the white/gray combo.

Getting dark fast here so about the best I could do

They look awesome..! [MENTION=161933]dawhoo[/MENTION] I wish they made the the KO2 in 255/80 R17.

 

[dawhoo]

I think that may rub on stock with mudguards. I have only a few MMS of clearance at full turn.

I think they look good. The height is what matters, not the width. I have the 255/75 Duratracts with a set of SpiderTrax spacers and it looks perfect. My only wish is that I would have got the 255/80's. I wanted a tire that would fully tuck up in the fender well under full articulation off-road. I also wanted the 32" height as well as a Load Range C tire. My tires only weigh 40 pounds per versus the guys running 285's at 60+ pounds per.

I can confirm that these KO2's do NOT rub on a fully stock vehicle. I have them on my 2017 Limited, fully stock other then switching the 20's for the trail 17's and putting on the KO2 255/75/17's. Rides very nice and have gone off road quite a bit and perform quite well. The difference between these and 275/70/17's is literally an inch of width and nothing else. Highly recommend!

What lift is on this 4runner?

Why isn't this more popular?

Why isn't this more popular?

because everyone wants their tires to be as wide as Kardashian's bootay..

 

[Stol3n]

I actually wanted the 255/75-17’s but they weren’t in stock. The 275/70’s were, so I went with those.

Because, quite frankly, it looks ridiculous to me.

I’m not criticizing those who are doing it. Life’s too short to be unhappy. I just can’t get over how bad the slim width looks and I think a lot of people feel that way which is why a lot of people upsize their offsets or do wheel spacers.

From the side, cool. From every other angle it looks awkward and not tough.

that's interesting--I feel the opposite.

When I think narrow, I think offroad.
When I see wide tires and spacers, I think it's just for cosmetics

Agreed.

Form < function.

Snow traction and gas mileage?

I will never understand the desire to have a smaller contact patch than stock sized tires.

blashphemy!

What's the point of traction and mpg if your truck looks weak and scrawny? Do you think these guys off road much on those skinny tires?

don't forget, when aired down, they have a longer footprint.

It's not like military jeeps had 305s. They have seriously narrow tires. So do any vehicles that spend time in the bush or in very bad, rutted roads in the middle of nowhere.
...And any serious snowplowing rig....

I'm running 255 Blizzaks for that winter tough look.
