im getting new tires very soon my current tires 235/70/16 look like little Mexican tires on my truck (i dont mean to offend anyone). i am goiing with 265/75/16 next im just curious to see how the look, so if anyone has any pics please post them.

 

that is my old 97 with a 1.5" coil spacer on it.


same wheels and tires on my stock height 00, reg cab though

 

any more pics im in the same situation

 

Mine are 265/17/17's if that helps any.....

 

I don't have these exact tires anymore (wore 'em out!), but I'm still running the same size 265/75/16 in a Toyo Open Country AT.

is there a leveling kit?

all terrian t/a ko
im kinda trying to learn about rims and tires.
what is the price for these tires i only got them in the front.

 

Thanks Stroked, That's a pic from about 7 years ago, but the truck still shines up nice to this day!

My current Toyo's are about 4 years old and have about 65k miles on them! They still have decent tread left (rocks still get hung up in the tread!). They only cost $119 each 4 years ago.. I just priced them again, at the same store I got them at originally and they want over $190 each now!!

Back when I got the Toyo's, I also picked up a set of the stock OEM aluminum wheels for only $15 each! That was a deal, because I had the stock steel wheels with the stupid plastic chrome wheel covers on them! (that's them in the pic above)

Anyway, I'm going to get another set of the Toyo's when the time comes.. Maybe next year.

I would also suggest you go for "LT" rated tires (Light Truck). These have better load capacity then the standard "P" (Passenger) or Standard Load tires. Even if you don't haul anything, they make a difference in the cornering and overall handling of the truck... Well, at least they did on mine.

I replaced the original 235/70/16's with some 255/70/16 tires and they sucked! And, I still didn't like how small they looked. I traded them in for the same tire in a LT265/75/16 and was much happier. I did have to recalibrate the VSS by putting in a smaller gear so that the speedo and odo were correct and the trans shifted better too..

265/75/16 on 02 2wd

 

stroked89,
There is no levelling kit on mine, stock height. I've had my BFG AT KO's for about 4 years now (maybe 75,000 km on them) and they still have life, maybe another year. I paid about $1200 4 years ago. I will buy the same tires again but in a 285 or 295.

 

I also had 235/70/16 on my 97 4x4 and replaced them with some 285/75/16 nittos. Looks much better!!!

 

Totally diggin' the flames!


Did you do it yourself?

 

Thanks for the compliment, I actually bought the truck like that, I like it cause I dont see another truck exactly like mine, but I've been debating wether or not to take them off.
