Running skiny tires

Replacing stock 265/65/17’s on stock 06 tundra 4x4. Any issue's going to 235/80/17’s

 

You opening up a pizza joint?

 

I like the look of a taller tire and the better traction on slick roads

 

I meant the better traction of a narrower tire on slick roads

 

Then I don’t see a problem. The 235’s are good up to 8” wide rim so as long as you aren’t running anything wider you should be good. The tire is a little taller but if memory serves, you are ok up to a 32” tire.

 

Appreciate the info, especially from people that know tundras

 

You can take a read through this thread for more info:

Never skip leg day! I wouldn’t run a 235, 255 will look better, pick your sidewall flavor.

 

Especially with gold wheels. Every time.

 

yup

 

I've never seen anyone run that size but I'm sure it would be fine. Is your truck only used on pavement?


Personally, I'd want 255/80/17's

 

I'd really like to see a picture of a first gen running 235/80R17 tires on the stock wheels. Pizza cutters always look like they belong on a Toyota.

 

Man that looks goofy.

 

nope

edit: yo why does that thing have leafs in the front?!?!

 

nice catch. It’s been SAS’d. Also full disclosure, I have no idea what size tires those are. But they are tall. And they are skinny.

 

I like gold, Gold or bronze wheels belong on absolutely nothing.

 

there. Fixed it for you

 

You fixed nothing. Gold wheels belong on nothing just like your sawzall modded front bumper.

 

I'm going to take a wild guess that they're a 36.5" Michelin 900r16 XZL Tire? I've looked at them in the past to possibly use on my old Ford Highboy flatbed, but i don't want a tire that tall. In fact i don't want over a 33" on the truck...and the truck sees LOTS and LOTS of offroad work abuse.

Oh. You mean this one?

shmuck

 

Yup. I see it’s evolved some.

 

So when are you placing an order for gold wheels?

 

literally this weekend or next. Then 9six9 TE knocks offs babyyyyyy

 

The only drawback is they only make them in a load range E. They are dually tires. I guess if you currently have load range E's, it won't be a big concern.
