Rutsy's Terra Off Road with Pizza Cutters - Toyo Open Country 255/80/17 with Method 705 +35 in Titanium

[RutsyBucket]

I was on the fence between the 255/85/17 Mickey Thompson BAJA BOSS (you gotta capitalize it) and the Toyo Open Country A/T3.

Local shop quoted me $1400 installed out the door for the BAJA BOSS and $1100 OTD for the Toyos. I figured a 34" might be pushing it as far as clearance, gearing, all that stuff, and that the 255/80 open country would be a great compromise.

Once I decided on the Toyos, I was second guessing it quite a bit, but after driving these I'm really happy with them. They're quite a bit lighter than the BAJA BOSS, and seem plenty tall, though I wouldn't say no to a little more lift.

As far as the wheels... I wasn't planning to get them at all. I actually like the stock TRD wheels alright, and for what I'm going to have to sell them for to get a buyer, it feels like a waste. The store owner offered me a great price - another grand on top, so $2100 and change out the door. Hard to say no!

Anyway, I LOVE the ride so far. I've never driven an E tire before so I didn't really know what to expect, but I figured it would be hard. It's not. It's quite plush and comfortable, honestly feels just like stock tires. I love the stance and look. No modifications were made. Crash bar is fully in tact, and I haven't felt or heard any rub at all, but it does look a little tight.

If you're in So Cal and have an SR/5 and want a good deal on some wheels and tires, you know where to find me!

I like those Methods, Gunmetal is

Any change in MPG going from the 265/70/17 to the more narrow but taller tire?

I will probably go the same size you went or 255/75/17 at least for a true 32.

Pizza cutter is for sure the move though

+35 is perfect IMO. Nice job.

Thank you. The color is interesting. Sort of a graphite... Way too early to tell as far as the milage. I dont think it will be a big hit though, it rides very similar. It doesn't feel like it's added any extra weight on the wheels.
