HAS anyone found a tall skinny 17" E rated tire yet?? Such as a 255/80/17?? MY generals are almost halfway gone and i would like about a 33-34" tall 10.5" or less wide tire. I cant see spending all the money for 19.5's just to lower my ratio a bit

I think the Toyo 285/75/17E is the best you're going to do right now.

not much out there.....I looked and looked but since I dont haul that heavy so I just went with some load D nitto's

This sucks....i dont want a wider tire, dont want to change to 3.42(cost too much) dont want to put in the newer g56 with the taller OD ratio. COME ON tire companies offer us a tall skinny tire

im with you on that, i don't know why everyone wants taller and so much wider tires. i would love a 255/85/r17 that would be awesome. little more clearance, not as much affect to the MPG's

hell even if there were more options like 265/75 or 285/75 (toyo is the only one on that one.)

Can you change the rims and get there? Like an 18 or a 16? I know the cost of the rims etc but I was just wondering?

levigarrett76

brakes wont fit with the 16's!

i like to keep my fuel economy as high as i can, so i dont have a use for a tire wider than say 10"

ive contacted every tire company, michelin, firestone/bridgestone, maxxis, goodyear, kelly, toyo, cooper, bf goodrich, general....all of them more than twice and half of them wont even give you the time of day!!

fords run 17's as well as dodge....have been for more than a few years....if one company would put one out there it WOULD sell ocne the word got out

super swamper (interco) is the only company i've found that makes a 34x10.50x17.

I think you'll need a wider tire to go with all the height to keep the load rating as good as the companys want them.

This is just a guess....

checkster

doesnt bfg make a 35x10.50-17?

Toyo A/T 285/75/17 is 34" tall & 11" wide.....

bfg makes a 33x9.5 r15 and 33x10.5 r15 in the all terrain


Im going to look into that toyo, it looks nice and narrow in those pictures...i just wonder how it fill fit on a stock DRW wheel

To run that Toyo I bet you will have to run spacers to avoid rubbing. I am with you, I would love a taller tire to lower the rpm's a bit on the highway. I have looked everywhere too, and found nothing.

anyone have pictures/info on running the 285/75/17 toyo's on a dually....If the rears wont touch each other without i spacer that would be perfect for me!!!! i got a feeling the will touch loaded?
