Am running Wild Country TXR 255/85/R16's. They seem to have good traction in mud and snow, but they throw lots of rocks, and my rear panels show it. They're also fairly soft sidewalls, which makes for a lot more roll/pitch in high speed cornering on the highway... makes it tough to race rice!



They seem to be wearing ok... have about 10k or so on them, and they look fairly new. I'm figuring I can get 40k out of them (conservative, cause I don't think I've ran 10k off them yet), and they're also only my winter tires... have another set of summer tires that I run on my long highway trips.

I also run a 255-85-16, and have been for the last three years. I have both BFG MT's and TRXUS, both are very good tires, and they offer great traction. I believe the BFG's will last longer though.

I prefer the Dunlop Radial Rover RV. It has been a very good tire for the price IMHO. If you are looking for a real agressive offroad tire this is not it, but it is a great all around tire otherwise. They probably won't run a ton of miles, but I think dollar/mile they would be close to some of the more expensive tires out there.

BFG MT/TA's.

I have the Toyo M-55 in the 255/85 and like them a lot. They're pretty aggressive and sing on the highway. They are heavy duty in the sidewall. I only have about 9k miles on them so far, but I can't detect hardly any wear yet. They were very hard to come by.

Ok I'm still not sure on what make but I am stock 4x4 and want to know will I need to do anything about the clearence for the front tires?

Thanks

Bob,



255's will fit with no problems. I fit 36"s with just leveling springs.
