Please someone with BFG 255/75R17 mud-terrain tires? I just one too see how those tires looks in the FJ. So if you can post pictures it would be great.

Thank You

Bump. I'd like to see a pic of these also. Anyone???

Not sure if anyone has MT's in that size on this board. They would look similar to this though, but an inch shorter:

I wish they made the AT's in that size and it would've been exactly what I would've got. The MT's are just too much for my daily driver though.

I just got these tires installed. They look and ride great. Much quieter than I was anticipating, but had to get them road forced since one of them decided to be a sour apple and mess up my smooth ride between 55-70 mph.

They are blackwall only and I got them on my stock alloys. I will try and take some pictures of them tonight.

Will a 255 width tire be good for decent off-roading? Thanks!

depends on what you do. For what I do, mostly trails with combo loose rock and mud, yes they will work great. Being more narrow, they will generate higher psi on the contact patch than a wider tire. Also it will be easier on the drivetrain and steering components. For sand, may not be ideal since the narrow tire looses flotation and the aggressive tread will dig alot. hope this helps

Hey Beerhat! Noticed the Texas registration and inspection. What part of the Lone Star state are you in? Update your location in user fields, unless you want to remain anonymous.

I am in the DFW area, probably have seen me up and down Central; I prefer to be like a fart in the wind...there one second and gone the next

Cool. I live in Fort Worth but work in Dallas. Usually travel 183 or I-30.
I'm still looking for a place around here that really requires 4x4. Looking forward to an out of state trip. Possibly going to the Tenn ride in Sept.
Could not make the FJ Summit because of back surgery the day following the ride. C ya round.
