Hey guys. I am thinking of selling my Open Country A/T Toyos which are the 34.1" diameter 285/75R17. They looked great on the stock suspension, but now w/ the new Kore HP kit, I want something a little more aggressive. I am debating between the 35x12.50x17 or 285/75R17 M/Ts. I know there are a ton of you guys with the 35s on the stock wheels, but how about the slightly smaller 285/75s? They are 12 lbs lighter a tire, which will result in improved MPGs. Right now I can manage almost 20 mpg on the highway unloaded...I don't want to lose that, but I want a better look since the A/Ts are just a tad too mild appearing now w/ a lifted truck.

Post up some pics of either combo.

Thanks!!

 

I'm interested in the same set-up. Eagerly awaiting pics...

 

Yeah, i struggled desiding between the 285/75 AT's or MT's....went with the AT's as i only got a 2" lift up front....looks fine to me....but i'll probably switch to the MT's (same size) when my current ones wear out...

Think most people go 35"....so pics may be tough to find.

 

I want to see 'em too. Gotta switch from the Nitto's next time around.

 

Ill go thru some pics on the home pc, but I think I saved some of the 285/75 setup, and also have a clouple more from a buddies truck with 35" MTs(on stock wheels, powdercoated black)

 

I know you didn't mention 295/70 but I'll post it anyway, no rubbing on stock suspension BTW.

 

05 CTD2500, what are the actual dimensions, in inches, of those tires? They look good!

 

thanks, they are 33.5" x 11.9"

 

Those are Toyos measurements of just the tire. Once on the truck they change.

The actual dimensions of the week old 295/70/17 Toyo M/Ts on my truck measure 32.5" x 12" with 60 psi on stock rims.

 

I have the 295's and the 2" leveling kit.

 

I debated going with 35" tires on stock wheels . . . but didn't like the way 35" tires look on 17" wheels (too much rubber for me) so I went with 20" wheels too. This what they look like.





Amazing thing is that the tires are 135.00 bucks more per tire than the wheels!

I didn't know TOYO made a 295. I like 'em. What kind of mileage you boys getting out of a set?

 

35/12.5 R17 Toyo MT's on stock wheels.

 

I would have to look that up but I don't remember it being anything to brag about....
