2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Are TOYO 285's too Big

[mental floss]

Ok, Stock rims. Running 265/16 now. Tire Dealer wants to put 285 TOYO's on it. Question: Will they fit? Will they rub at lock to lock? How much will it change the speedo? TIA

Those will fit just fine with no rubbing... . 305's rub without a leveling kit.

i run the tires in my sig. the only time I rub is going through a ditch down hill when the suspension is bottoming out and I have the wheel turned full lock.

When I went from 245 (stock for '98) to 265 I went on a trip and watched the mile markers. when the odometer said 96 when I had gone 100 miles I figured I was 4% out of whack. When I calculate my MPG I add 4% to the milage to get a true reading. As far as the spedometer goes federal law mandates that spedometers show more than actual for safety. So spedometers are off to start with. If they were accurate I could assume that when the spedometer says 50 I am doing 52 with the larger tires. As the tires wear down then the 4% will need to be adjusted accordingly. I would guess that 285 would put you up to 8% but that is just a guess. The mile markers tell the story unless the road has been rebuilt to detour around a tunnel and the markers have not yet been changed. Hope this helps REGARDS Jim

I had 285's on mine before I added KORE suspension. Noe problem at all. Now I have 305 NITTOs. Couldn't fit 35s with the drop caused by the Buckstop front bumper.

I run the 285's, they look good and run good with no issures. My tach is about 150 rpm slower at 60 mph.

Tires in my signature never rubbed, even before the leveling kit and with the stock chrome wheels before the Eagles went on. Spare even shoehorned between the rails.

I hate to thread jack, but was wondering the same question, but on a 97 2wd?

They rub my trailing arms. Worst tire I have ever owned, out of round, thump romp if you run the air pressure up to what it should be the back end of my truck will sway horribly to the point of dangerous.

you too, I was told by my tire dealer they were they're "best tire", I can't wait for these things to wear out, constantly vibrate regardless of air pressure. I'm purposely not rotating them so I have an excuse to replace them with something else.

I've got about 20k on my Nitto's and they are still sweet. Quiet, smooth, tread wear is very even and no cupping. Guess I got lucky? No, the fellow who built my DTT had them on his 2500 and recommended them to me. Best bang for my buck on tires got them on here http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...cf=false&sw=false&cs=305&pc=40196&rd=16&ar=70

I'm going back to the stock michelin's if I still have the truck then.

I had the exact opposite experience with my Toyo's. Eliminated the "tail wag" and vibration I had with my BFG A/T's from moment one. Provided a smooth,controlled ride and balanced with minimal weight in contrast to my BFG's which needed up to 9 oz. 's of lead. I was so impressed with the Toyo's that I had them installed on my '07. AT's this time,"E"s all the way. Toyo should have addressed your complaints. BFG and Discount wouldn't address mine.
