    What tire width?

    Thanks for the specs. This is my first time w/ a heavier truck and I was concerned that a tall narrow tire might handle squirrely on paved surfaces.

    What tire width?

    I posted this on Ih8ud as well but want to see what the consensus is here. I'm picking up a 93 fj80 that I figure will spend 80% on paved/gravel roads and 20% offroad. I live on the East Coast so there isn't any sand to play in on a regular basis. The truck will be a daily driver that gets...
