    Also 255’s aren’t as readily available everywhere, turns a blowout into a much bigger project when you have to find a place that stocks them.

    Wow thank you for the positive post this really opened my eyes as I for a year and all my tires are worn out. So I had to ask as a lot of you guys have been doing this since I was born and it is safer to ask sometimes then just do. Thank you very much for the info and Java e a great week.

    No worries brother. There are a lot of things that come in to play when considering changing tire sizes. Everything about your tires has a direct effect on your operation and mainly your fuel economy. Choosing the wrong size can cost you a lot of money in fuel. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

    He mentioned 14’ limit so he’s out west. All the cool guys on I-5 run 255’s so they’re easily had over on that coast.
     
    Ruthless Thanks this.

    Northeast, it’s a mixed bag over this area. I blew one coming into a receiver in mass, tire shop across the street had me going out the door in 35 minutes. Different time in CT blew one and I ended up having the shred taken off the wheel and running home singled out because no one could get them same day.

    Just one of those things to know.
     
    Long FLD Thanks this.
