I've used it just few months ... through all 2014 I was using 245x75R16 as my wife was pregnant and for her was hard to sit in car with 33 inch tyres :)

Now my son is 6 month :) soon I'm planning to set that tyres for weekends trips to Carpathian mountains :)

Has anyone run 255 85 r16 on a hilux n80 with no lift or mods? would love here and to see some photos.

Its time to get some new shoes, was originally thinking of just going with 265 75 16 but I really like the idea of going 255 85 r16.


Thanks
