BFG AT on 17in Wheels

[Jeffrey_VB]

I have an '06 SR5 with 17in alloys. OEM tires are 265/65-17R tires. BFG doesn't make their ATs in 265/65-17. Is there another size BFG AT that will fit the 17in wheels, without adding a lift?

That's just what I need!! So how do you like the 265/70's and the ATs? How do they ride? Any difference in mileage, performance?

I'm still running stocks.

265/65/17 Bridgestone Dueler H/T

I was driving by & saw that this guy's Sport looked like he had bigger tires & it looked meaty, so I dropped by & stared haha.

Low & behold...he upsided his tires, so I took out my camera & snapped away.

I bring my camera everywhere...sometimes I think I'm dating my camera!!

When it's time to replace my tires, I'm going w/ 265/70/17 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo

I use to work at Wheel Works & I know BFG KOs are noisy & ride rough. However...a lot of people don't mind it, because of the performance you get out of them.

Yes, they do.

12,000 miles on mine and they still ride really nice!

Gas mileage may have decreased by 0.5 mpg, but I am still averaging over 20 mpg each tank in the spring/summer.

Best part is now I never slip in almost any condition. They do take a lot of weight to balance though.

They used to be really bad when they had 3 ply steel belted sidewalls. Now they have replaced 2 of the plys with kevlar which makes them less noisy and almost the same ride as stock. Honestly, no one has noticed a difference from inside my 4Runner in the past year.

Yes, they do.

I was looking at TireRack.com. I guess they just don't carry that size.

Those are over $50 more per tire than TireRack's 265/70R17s. I wonder if they are considered a "special application" size or something.

Do a search on the Nitto Terra Grappler here on the forum. I just put on a set from 4wheelparts ($132 a tire). They are awesome looking, drive great, quiet, grippy, and took almost no weight to balance unlike the stock Dunlops...

I'm BLOWN AWAY. I was under the impression they did not make that size at all. $235 is very expensive, but there are numerous threads on this board stating that the BFG TA KO is not made in 265/65/17. Strange.
