I think I might go with these....

I will be picking mine up tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to it and keeping my fingers crossed they fit with stock suspension. I've read they do fit. The general grabbers can also be fitted with studs for those who need them in the snow. I will definitely report back with mpg data as I am pretty anal about that stuff.

8k on my 235/85r16 Duratracs. I couldn't be happier. They do rub on my limited flares a little under full compression. I run an OME lift.

Suppose I wanted to run this tire size. Where do I find a 16x5.5" (or so) wheel with correct bolt pattern and also hub centric??? Or does it not have to be hub centered. I don't think a 7-7.5" wide stock wheel would look or function as good with this tire size. What were your guy's solutions?

From what I've seen, stock 16x7 wheels will work fine. I'm going to use stock 3rd gen 4Runner wheels.

I'm now running these tires and I'm impressed. They have less rolling and turning resistance than the smaller diameter generals I had before. I will try to post some pics up asap but am dealing with computer issues at the moment.

Here they are. I don't have my first tank MPG yet but did do a shakedown road trip up to Big Bear yesterday. No off-roading but overall I like this size better than my other set of Grabber AT/2s in 265/70/16. I don't have any rubbing like I did with the older set but I am certain that has to do with the rim/tire combination. The only drawback so far is the tracking on-road is different. The new ones seem to need more attention but it isn't anything problematic. Here are some pics:

Nice pics. I think I am probably going with the 235's as well. By design, they have to get better mpg.
These BF's have an awesome rating for wet and snow.
