road report on 255/85/16 BFG mt
went on a drive today. Here is my report.
On a scale of 1-10, 5 being stock 225/75/16 tires
Freeway:
Handling = 7
Power = 5
Passing power = 3
Noise = 4.5 with soft-top i could barely hear them
Street:
Handling = 6
Power = 5
entering traffic = 5
Noise = 5
My first impression is that overall the driving improved. Handling on the freeway greatly improved(that really surprised me). Power loss is barely noticeable until i went to pass a slow truck on the freeway. around town you couldn't even notice a loss in power. Noise isn't even an issue with a soft-top. i can't comment on a hard-top. I would recommend this size for anyone with 4'11 gear not wanting to do a gear change or lift. I will report MPG when I go through a few tanks. My guess is it wont change much. I drive slow. which helps.
