Just got my FJ and loving it!!! Has anyone upgraded their Dunlop tires to the BFGoodrich All Terrain 265/70R 17inch. I know you can get these tires on the 16inch TRD wheel but how is it on the 17inch Alloy Wheels from the factory?
WOW!!!! I don't know why Toyota doesn't ship it from the factory with the BFG on it already. Thanks!!!!! They look great. I get mine put on next week! Does it change your gas mileage any?

In general, the more aggressive the tread pattern, the more friction and hence you may see slightly lower mpg (assuming the same tire size). If the replacement tire is even larger (wider and/or taller) then the hit to your mpg will be even greater.
My FJ arrived in early January with Bridgestones on it, not Dunlops.

Thanks for all the help. The BFGoodrich All Terrain 265/70R 17inch Tires arrived today and they look better than I could have ever expected! I am like a kid in a candy shop.
I've always liked the looks and performance of the BFG All Terrain AT KO's. I had them on 2 Durango's that I owned and now have them on my FJ too. Some people complain they are a little noisy on the road, but I never noticed that. You should be very happy w/them.
