Tall and skinny tires, 255 KM2 on SRW truck, and towing?
Im looking at getting some 255/80/17 for my 2002 LB CC SRW truck. I wanted to see any pictures with tall and skinny tires. ALSO, i have a slide in camper, it weights around 2500 LBS, should tis handle ok? Any input would be great

Stock his truck came with either 245/75/16's or 265/75/16's, which the 265's are the wider of the two at about 10.5 inches. The 255/80/17's are just over 10 inches wide, but an inch taller. Still though, it's a moot point without the 17's. The tires should handle the camper without a problem as they're E rated.

The 265x75x16's are 31.65" in dia and the 255x80x17 are 33.06" in dia.
So, the 255x80x17's are not as wide and taller than his stock tires.
I don't see what difference it makes.

I have these tires, and they do take a little more air than my 285/70 Toyo AT's did to be stable, but they are great. I have been super happy with them. I have had the truck GVW up to 10,500 and had no isses with sway, steering, etc.
Its a great tire.. if only they would wear a little slower.
