I searched through all the tire threads, and I was hoping to hear some opinions on tire sizes--particularly tall 'n' skinnies. My 80 currently has the Yokohama M/T G003s, 265/75-16. While I have no doubt these are great off-road tires, they are a poor compromise for on-road use. As I've been daily-ing the 80 for the last two weeks because my 100 got totalled, the noise and vibration of the Yoks is driving me crazy!
I like the 265/75-16 tire size, and ran that on my 100 as well. But, I am also intrigued by the pizza cutter look. On the stock wheels, this means a 255/85-16. I only see about 4 tires in that size, and the two that aren't mud tires are the Falken ATW4 and Cooper STMaxx.
If I stick with the 265/75-16, I would probably get the Toyo ATIIIs, which we have on our Sequoia.
What are your opinions/experiences between the two sizes? I really like the way the 255s looks, and I like the idea of a narrow, true 33", but it seems to be a bastard size now. Does it offer any driving/performance benefits over the 265s?
I guess the third option is 16X7 steelies with a 235/85, which has more options for tires than the 255/85.
