I am in the waiting room for a 2016 144 Crew 4x4 to be built in Feb 2016 and shipped to Seattle. Deposit down and invoice finalized.
In the meantime I have been lurking in the background here on this forum. I have seen many wheel/tire combos and have only seen one mention of the 255/85/R16 which in my mind would be a perfect tire size for the 4x4. I have been running the same size in a Toyo M55 on my first generation Tundra, have driven the Baja peninsula on them, lots of backroads, great tire. It is made in Japan is known for long service life, but the cost is high. It also will fit on the narrow stock wheel within manufacturer spec. and I don't want to buy new wheels, I like the look of the stock alloys.
A 255/85/R16 in this tire is 33.4 inches in diameter and 10.4 inches wide. I feel like it should fit perfectly given that other forum members have success with a 285/70/17 with adjusted offset. The 255/85/R16 would not require changes to the offset and would allow a taller tire.
Its a great all around tire with a stiff sidewall. I cant say enough how great these have worked out on my Tundra in all conditions from sand on the beach in Baja to snow in the mountains in Washington. Tire also performs very well at high or low pressure and have tried all different pressure settings while on my Baja trip November 2014.
Food for thought.
