okay i have 285/75/16 on 16x10 inch wheels, and just wondering if itd be ssmart to go up to the 305s??
and should i go toyo or another mud tire...

 

i personally like the wider look and ride. 305 for me. they would fit the rims perfectly.

not sure what you have now but bfg is my fave mud tire and for the street.

i would say bfg mt, nitto mud grapplers, toyo mudds, goodyear mts. thats my order of importance opinion wise.

 

gotcha...you think my truck could handle a 305???without killin gas, and something as heavy as a toyo mud...

 

anybody??....i gotta go get one of the sizes on today....not sure which to get...mainly bc of the weight of the tire and the side lugs might cause rubbin in the 305s

 

285/75-16's and 305/70-16's are the same height. You are basically comparing a 33x11.50 tire and a 33x12.50 tire.

 

with the weight of the toyo mt, should i get it in a 305/70 bein i have a v6?? just dont wanna loose to much mpg....

 

Not positive, but I doubt there is much weight difference between the two sizes.

 

yea it is 5 lbs, so not enough to make a big deal...i shouldnt lose any. and the 305s will fill the wheel out mich nicer...

 

I will be doin 285/75/16 here within the month probably

 

what kind of tire alex???the tire shop has the toyo mt in 285/75/16 in stock but would have to order the 305/70s...not sure what size to go...the toyos are so aggressive with the side lugs the 285/75s are prolly enough

 

dont know what brand yet I just came across a possible deal on 305/75/16s so I might go that route on my v6 but only after the body lift. If the price is right I'll take em

 

oh yea...so youre not worried bout mpg?? the 305s im sure will look better...ive already got a lift on mine, and 16x10 in wheels...that size would fill that wheel well

 

Im not gonna lie Im slightly worried because I do drive about an hour to work but honestly I don't think it will change it too much maybe a couple mpgs and that is worth it to me. If I don't like it I can just go down in size because Im lookin to find some used ones right now so I probably wont be payin too much for em.

 

i hear ya....its not even three miles to work for me, so gas really is not a problem for me. last summer it was bc i was traveling an hr one way. just cant decide what size i want geez..in the toyo mt. theyre such a bulky tire with the lugs that 285s would work im sure..

 

well the tires I might be gettin that are used are goodyear wrangler ats 305/75/16 hope its not too big.
