    Thinking switching from 315/75/R16 to 255/85/R16 - Good for desert sand?

    Another thing to remember, the Toyo 255s are listed at 33.5”.

    Thinking switching from 315/75/R16 to 255/85/R16 - Good for desert sand?

    Here’s my truck on the 255s and back on the refurbished factory alloys. Definitely looks more stock-like than before. Tires seem to fill out the wheel wells nicely from the side. I have a 1” body lift, but the springs (2.5” OME) are old and likely sagging a bit. From the side, the skinny tires...

    Surprised to see that he mentioned that the 80 series may have been the pinnacle of Toyota 4x4 engineering. Makes me feel very fortunate to own one. Back to tires. They’ll arrive tomorrow, and I’ll likely get them installed next week. Now looking at new suspension kits…

    Watched the vid, and now I am hooked on ASPW. Damn you! Lol!

    Ordered the Toyo Open Country MTs in 255/85/R16 from the local garage. They found some for CAN$350 which seems like a great price even compared to the price of US$335.96 I found on-line at Tirerack.

    Thinking switching from 315/75/R16 to 255/85/R16 - Good for desert sand?

    I remember when I started wheeling and at the same time a guy with a Land Rover Disco started as well. He had BFG ATs’ at the time and punctured the sidewalls in every one including the spare. In all my years of off-roadung, my Toyos’ have never failed once. My buddy has a lifted FJ Cruiser and...

    Thinking switching from 315/75/R16 to 255/85/R16 - Good for desert sand?

    Thanks! I pretty much agree with everything in the vid based on my experience. I had 33” Toyo MTs’ previous to my 35 Toyos, and didn’t see much of a difference in capability other than a little less contact with the chassis. Others in our club running 33s’ went everywhere I went, maybe with...

    Thinking switching from 315/75/R16 to 255/85/R16 - Good for desert sand?

    As part of the resurrection of my LX450, I need to replace the worn out Toyo Open Country MTs'. My buddy and I are planning a long road trip next year to the US south west. We plan on doing a lot of wheeling in the deserts. I want to replace the 35s' with 33s' to gain a bit better fuel economy...
