Why not 255/85/16?

I'm all for tall and skinny too.

I was going to go with the KM2's in 255, but went Treadwright. It'll still be on my list come time to buy new tires again.

The only thing is I find offset more critical. You'll need to match them up with the side of your vehicle (find with SR5's) but with Limited flares and stock wheels they will need spacers to "look" good.
 
I found some more pics of a 4runner running 255s KM2s

You found Treadwrights in 255? Which ones?
 
no offence but im gonna offend. these freaking pizza cutters look like crap! wider the better for any type of wheeling.
 
I have 255 75R 17 and think they are about the perfect size all around tire on a 4Runner.

skinny tires are for wagon wheels lol
seriously, get what YOU want, what will work for you.
I prefer the 285s, more rubber contact on the rocks, generaly means better grip. :cheers:

No...the 255's do better on rocks and other rugged terrain, a proven fact

If you like mud then get some 285/75 Thornbirds

For me its function over form for the most part, but I am not a mall crawler.

It boils down to do what you want; and I want to do what works, and is the most logical
 
He said he was bored, and had the equipment. His bumpers were already dented, so he figured why not.

To each their own I guess.. =)

Love everything else though. Beautiful colour.

Nope! Went with the 285's. Thing is they look narrower and are taller then most 33's. They are somewhere between 285s and 255's, but I think they are as tall as 255's, or close to it.

I measured them on the vehicle with 35PSI and they are 33". Considering tire squish they must be 33.5's at least I would think off the vehicle.

you say its a "proven fact" do you have any documents to back that up ????

Have you ever wondered why all or most all of the pro teams, that have access to "any" tire, run wider tires ?
