Purely going on looks, these are a They are a great proportion with the 18" wheels and look great without lift and I think good with a couple inch lift as well put up AHC to HIGH to see what it would look like. There is also, however, a noticeable difference in ride quality. Whether it's just the weight difference, or the size difference as well, the truck absolutely handles more sluggishly on the road than it did with the s.
I've had many sets of these BFGs on various LCs - on my , and on my two FJ62s, so while my opinion is obviously subjective, for what it's worth, it's not my first time with this heavy AT tire.
Can't say I dislike the handling difference, but it is there. I'm running about 40 all around, so I will be paying with slight increases and decreases to see what I like best. Of course, it's light years from a set of regular road tires for road use. When I bought the truck, it had some all-season somethings and the handling was incredibly light and easy to maneuver in comparison. I personally like the feel of the heavier tire and like the extra size it gives, so I would do it this way again.
I am going to wait to buy a front and rear bumper though and get used to this feel for a while. My SliderSteps are going in next week so that will add some serious weight as well and I'd like to see how it affects handling.
I thought this might be helpful to post for anyone torn between sizes so that you can make the most informed decision. Photos to come. I went from to and the truck steers and turns much better I think.
L Looking for the end of the road Bigger tire equals more weight, more sidewall to flex, less braking power, etc. The differences are common and expected. Joined Sep 21, Messages 3, Joined Oct 7, Messages 8, Location Earth. I've noticed a few differences. Mainly in quick lane change, or heavy braking. I feel like it takes alot longer to stop. Click to expand L said:. Yup, larger diameter and more importantly increased rotating mass with cause a loss in braking power.

I'm sure it will vary by brand, load, rating, etc. If you want them, get 'em! There is a great deal of "visual" difference between brands. Some claim wider tread patch, others wider cross-section. Look on the Tire Rack site at the specs and you will see some variances. Even the sidewall protector makes a big difference in the "visual width" as you view the tire. Good luck. I mean the wise decision is but I think s are sweet but I know that the rolling resistance with the s will be more so there a loss of mpgs.
It's just a tough decision in this game of inches. I average about Just thought I would provide an actual data point for this thread. The will hands down be better on gas. It's shorter, narrower, and lighter.
As with most things, tire size is all about trade-offs. Another big factor is the spare tire. Having a full size spare is pretty important with the full time 4wd system. We'll see if the diameter difference is enough to cause issues.
Either way, you'll definitely want to upgrade to something other than the stock spare. Bump this again, still looking for some answers!! Granted thats what most people do if they're going that wide, but still. Depending on the specific dimensions of the tire, the only difference will be 0. The biggest difference is going to be going from a passenger rated tire to a light truck tire. I only know that 16 is for diameter. Short answer: Yes. Chains usually fit multiple sizes, so just check on the box if your tire size is listed.
They both are the same tread width. To get a wider bfg tire, you must go to a The tread width is the same.
