I really like the price on tirerack but don't hear much about them.

So to get the tallest narrowest tire what would you guys get? I am looking for something that will not kill my highway MPG’s and from what most have said they are losing about 1-2mpgs with different tires but if you can get a taller tire it should help right? I have been thinking about 295-70-17’s from Nitto. Any ideas on who make the tallest, narrow tire?

I saw a guy at tsts dyno day he had 325/70/17 toyos on his stock wheels with just a leveling kit. I bet these rubbed pretty bad it looked good. That or the 315 bfg everybody runs is about the tallest on the stock truck

Probably. I have that tire and my fuel economy sucks. I did run that tire on H2 wheels with the stock suspension and minimal rubbing.

hmmm... I can't afford to lose any MPG's I run way to many highway miles. So maybe a 295 would be better?

Yeah, 295's would be better, and look good on a stock truck.

I have heard they are loud but I know a lot of dealers push them i don't know why though. Nittos TG's are great for the street BFG AT are hard to beat and everyone loves the Toyo MT's if you have the money. I was looking at the Cooper SST or STT I think is what they are called they look good but don't know how they run. I would like 315's but it sounds like 295 is the way to go to not kill my mpg's

Smile Two-wheel drive

What would be the best tire on a two-wheel drive? 285, 305, or 315? Which will fit without to much rub?

TIA.
