Re: will 285/70-17 tires fit?

Dr Jeff previously said:
I have BFG AT's on my 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4 Sport and they are great on wet roads and heavy rain. Way better than the Goodyear's that came with it. They were also excellent this winter in the snow. That is why I was considering them for my new FJ.

How bad is the mileage with the 285's compared to the stock tires. I am not expecting great mileage but I don't want to be stopping every 5 mintes to fill up either?

Have you seen the pictures from Fusion Cruiser on the other forum (the link is included in a previous response on this thread)? He says that he has no rubs at all with his tires on his stock FJ. I wonder what the difference is. Are his 33' GY Wrangler's smaller than the 285 BFG AT's?

Thanks for your input
I would guess mileage is down 20%-25%. With respect to wet handling, I have a somewhat distorted opinion because the car I replaced was astonishingly good in wet conditions. Most likely the tires will meet your expectations with respect to on-road wet and dry driving.
