There are some other pizza cutter threads, but it seems people are only going down to 255s. I run the 255/75r17 KO2 C1 on my v8 4runner and I love them.

Thinking of doing similar with a 100 that has 16" wheels. Short of buying some FN 17" wheels and just putting on another set of KO2 C1s in 255/75r17, I've been eyeing the 235/85r16 BFGs and Nokians especially since they're so darn light.

I don't think people consider weight on their tires as much as they ought. The switch on my 4runner from 55lb E1 tires to 46lb C1 was incredible. I know the 100 isn't a sports car, but that doesn't mean it needs to be tractor either, especially given the smallish gas tank + low fuel economy. Not stressing about gas stations out in the middle of nowhere on camping trips is kind of a big priority of mine.

The 235s make a ton of sense on paper, but...

Has anyone actually run them? Got any pics? Got any stories/concerns with the skinnies? I've seen them used on 70 series, but I've yet to see any pics of them on a 100.

I’m running 275/70R16 new geolanders. Were new when I bought the 100 last month. What is the best setup for these rigs?
And to your comment about weight - any reduction in unsprung weight is desirable.
