Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

I went from a 265/75/16 to a 295/75/16 and I feel the difference. It’s not a power loss it’s the engine and trans not in the right range on the power band. The optional size for my truck was a 235/85/16.

I found the same thing, when I had 285/75's. I figured that since I had a big block, and 4.10 gears I'd be fine, but the transmission programming was still set for the stock 245s, and it was very noticeable to me at light throttle cruising in town. I thought the transmission was slipping at first. When I went back to a stock size tire everything was fine. 265/75 and 235/85 tires didn't have that effect.

This thread makes me want to tire shop..... I do actually need them, too.

Since you have a SRW truck and already have big tires, have you looked at 255/85?

I personally looked into them for my F350. The issue is a very limited manufacturer and type of tire in that size along with the difficulty of getting a tire as it’s usually not a normal stocked size kept me away.

Yeah and these tires were put on a diesel 7.3 so power wasn’t a issue. It did come with 3:55s stock. I have to use a programmer to adjust for the tire size.

Honestly, that would be the much better size for me!

I want closer to a 33” tall tire that’s narrower to reduce rotational weight while maintaining all the ground clearance I can.

It’s just not unfortunately offered in the BFG K02’s… for 16” wheels at least. Do you have a tire model recommendation in that size?

255/85/16's

That looks badass. Are you stock height no crank?

255/85r16

fewer choices in tires every year though

Man that tire looks sick on your truck! I’m really starting to think of ditching K02’s for an AT in 255/85r16’s.

Stock height. No crank or rubbing.
