We finally got a dusting.

Looks great bub.

The tire width has no direct impact on tire height or diameter. The aspect ratio will ultimately determine diameter. You’re digging a deeper hole there bub. You have enlightened me on why people are putting wide tires on a 4wd, some of them think 285 is the tire height.

tire size designation, like "P215/65R15", indicates the tire's width (215mm), aspect ratio (65%), construction type (R for radial), and the rim diameter (15 inches) that the tire fits on, where the first set of numbers represent the width, the second set the aspect ratio, the letter indicates...

Sorry but 285 is not the height of the tire. It is the width in mm’s. The second number, commonly 65 or 70 is the aspect ratio which is actually a percentage of the tire width that designates the height of the sidewall from outer rim to outer tire. The third number is the rim diameter in inches...

285 is the width of the tire which should have zero impact on Speedo readings.

Northern Maine, nothing up here to see. Nothing to do. If you visit Maine, please stay out of the county.

Personally I like the look of the stock 18” wheel from the FE or lc/lc. I haven’t seen any aftermarket wheels that look better. If you have a set of snow tires you’re looking at check to see which sizes are offered in each 18” or 20”...

I’ve been hunting a lot lately, driving through the woods at 5-10 mph. I hear the fan kicking on and off all the time as well.

255! blizzaks are not available in 265/70/18. But yes they most certainly work I put 255/70/18 on my lc that has FE rims.

Yes dmv-2. I got mine in 255/70/18. Correct the 275 & 265 both have aspect ratios of 65%. I never looked into those sizes because narrow is better in snow and almost every other situation off road.

Those who know do not tell. Those who tell do not know.

I run blizzaks, I’ve heard good things about Michelin x-ice but never tried them. I’ll probably stick with blizzaks until someone makes something that is better but most reviews rank them at the top. Any dedicated winter tire will outperform an AT on ice and compacted snow.

With 4Runners I use to put deer in the cargo space. Now I’m getting old and that hybrid battery adds a few inches so I carried a cargo hitch to haul out deer. Doe tag filled and I am thankful. Be very thankful if I can tag a buck.

Valid message

I do notice yours is slightly off. Mine lines up fine, Tahara built.

Yes the stock Dunlops do have a soft compound that are probably ok in the winter but the tread is not very deep. They will not compare to a dedicated winter tire on snow/ice. Neither will any other AT.

The parking support brake slammed on when I drove through a semi deep mud puddle yesterday. I assume water splashed on the sensor and I hope that it doesn’t do that above 8mph. No snow yet in Maine but I got my blizzaks on.

No one has a Toyota “on order “.

It’s going to be hard to prevent a pebble hitting your windshield. I try not to tailgate other vehicles but I have gotten chips from oncoming vehicles. I know when someone tailgates me I usually maintain speed but go off the shoulder into the dirt, for some reason they back off, especially...

That sums it up nicely.
