    I think toyo mt come in 255/85 and there are still some bfg km2 mt on evilbay
    255 85 16 | eBay

    Isuzurover, the imperial where a rough guide, some where close but others where way out, perfect example is the Michelin 9.00 r16 that are actually 255/100 or 36.4 inches not 34!

    I ordered some 255 bfg MTs today. They are supposed to be in stock.

    Frantic yes that was a rough guide. Offroad pattern tyres are larger. E.g. 7.50 muds are 32" typically. In the original spec there are 2 different diameters for highway and off highway pattern tyres.

    Tyres fitted today. I can recommend Bob Jane Cannington if you are after BFGs.
    Get in now while they still exist...
    The 255s that is...

    Same nod for Bob Jane Haberfield. I would have liked 245/85-16 but I don't think there ever was such a thing.
    Does anyone know why 255s are being discontinued, or how we know they're going?
    Cheers, Billy.

    Not appearing on the BFG website, or other retailers where they usually appear was a good sign for me.

    255's..

    Pity - if true.

    The 255's could give you almost 1" extra clearance under the axles/diffs.

    That's funny KM2 255/85R16s are there when I look. Second on the list. I had to triple check to be sure. It is confusing when they put two 16" sizes ahead of the 15" sizes.
    255/85R16 has gone for KO2 though. Was there two weeks ago.
    Cheers, Billy.

    That's weird - when you go to their tyre selector page (4x4 Tyres | Tyre Selector | BFGoodrich Tires Australia & New Zealand) and choose 255, they then only show 55 or 70.

    I wouldn't mind betting they haven't updated either one of the pages...

    Yes that is weird. Those who have them already are lucky.
    Cheers, Billy.
