Wow I thought they would make a 255 for sure still
I guess this is the last decent 255/85/16. At least it's a good one my buddy has them and loves them.

It really is. I blame 17"x8" rims and fast food fatties. No body likes tall skinnys.

I love mine. Did great on the rocks/trails of The Cove. As smooth, but only a tiny bit louder than TA/KO's on the highway.

Not that I'm looking to buy new tires but for some reason I'm a tire spec and info whore.
Are the Toyo's a true 33"? I remember reading that they were a little taller than KM2's in the 255 size.
I have a set of Interco SSR 35x10.5" in the garage and 255 KM2's on my 110. I wish there was a tire right in between the 2 in height.

For what its worth, manufacture's website quotes the 'Inflated Overall Diameter" as 33.5" for the 255/85-16 and 33.0" for the 285/75-16..

If KM2’s go away or discontinue 255’s I’m gonna try this https://www.treadwright.com/collections/filter/products/g2816e.

I've looked at these too. Not a traditional retread, and comes with 2 year warranty. For the price, that's damn good.

You guys can read the reviews of treadwright on dweb if you want. I would only recommend them if you are the type of person to throw on a different set of wheels and tires on to go offroading.
Having used three sets of treadwright tires I can tell you this. They are safe. They last normal tire lifespan treadwise. They balance easily. They work great off and on road. The new remould method of re-doing the entire carcass is better than their old method; however, 2 out of 4 from my last set of 285/70r17s that were on a Dodge Ram 2500 starting cracking after about 1 year.
If you care about how your tires work and don't freak out if they look old, use them as a second set and use your money on a set of nice street tires. If you are trying to save a few bucks just wait another month and pay $200 per tire. Yokohamas are like $5 more than these and are infinitely better.
If you are trying to be cheapfuckese, I don't recommend then at all. They have their place. It isn't on a daily driver. Feel free to give them a spin, but when you start liking at your tires in detail for potential safety reasons every day you'll eventually regret saving $5-45 per tire.
