Here is my 1989 Dodge W250 Cummins 5.9 4x4.

Nice truck. how do you like the KM2's? I like the Selectro hubs they're icing on the cake :drool:

Here's my '94 Dodge, no lift, with 255/85 Toyo M55's on it.

and this for a comparison shot.

:coffeedrink: Thanks nice truck. Do you have a trip report anywhere? I can't get enough of the Alaska trips.

33 x 9.5 on my blazer. Pretty darn close to the 255/85's. And I am loving them.

For comparison, here it is with 32x11.5's. Looked great, drove like crap, long story. Happily drinking the tall skinny cool aid now.

I should have a trip report shortly. Got home and got busy ao haven't got it done. I would be interested in how the KM2's are wearing in loaded trucks also.

Andre, the OP is asking about 255/85-16s. I've not heard of a 285/55 before, which would end up being a low profile size tire (wider track with little sidewall).


Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
255/85-16 8.5in 16.5in 33.1in 103.9in 610 0.0%

Sorry I had this backwards. There are references to both all over the site wher it is written 285 55 R 16 so it's easy to get confused. My mistake on this thread...

It's all good :elkgrin:

I made the mistake of not labeling this thread "255/85's on the best looking fullsize trucks out there thread"!

Thanks again you guy's. I just need to figure out which ones to pick up. I need an aggressive tread so I'm starting to think the BFG's or the Coopers are what might be best.

How did you like the 255's on the excursion? I know this is funny to ask but how did they effect your millage?

I'm now subscribing to this post. Ya'll keep posting pics so I can drool: some more!

The 255 BFG's perform as well as any other mud tire I have used in the past. I prefer a narrower tire because I spend a lot of time on loose gravel roads where the wider tires do not seem to grip as well.

Fuel economy dropped marginally (5% maybe) over the smaller diameter stock size. A small but noticeable drop.
