255/85/16 e

Anyone running this tire size? Can we run this tire size?

It is a 33.3" tire and is much lighter than a 295/70/17 MT I have now.

If anyone is running this tire on a 4x4 I would love to see some pictures.

Thanks!

I don't think I've got any photos, but I ran that size before my current 285/75-R16s. I like the 255/85s better because I generally like the taller profiles.

I'm sure you're already aware that this tire size uses 16" rims and won't fit on your existing 17" rims.

Thank you for the reply.

I have my original rims still sitting around. I ran 305/70/16 Nitto Terra Grappler's a few sets back and was pleased with them. They wore very well and I may go back to that size...

Still trying to decide.

Does anyone run the 255's? Any pictures out there?

Thanks

No one has pictures?

Another question: are these tires suitable for SRW? It seems like most of the guys running these tires do it on the DRW set up.

Thanks again.

They're fine for SRW. I forgot to mention in my earlier post, but they're just a bit on the narrow side for the stock rims. No functional issues, just cosmetic.
