Did you just pull the panel under the seat, then pull the pump, and knock the dent out from the inside? I keep meaning to get around to that. :)

Sounds like we should have a gas tank repair party.

Looks good Mike, I'm interested in hearing if they effect your mpg one direction or the other. Also, I hadn't seen the light bar you built into your bumper, nice work!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the details on your mpg tracking.

Given similar tread patterns I agree that the +/- 10% differences in weight between a C and a E range probably has minimal effect on...

I agree, I've been very happy with the "stance" from my FZJ80 rims, which have exactly the same width and offset as the FN wheels.

Here are the specifications of the three different wheels.

Stock 5-spokes - 7" wide, 4.625" backspacing, 16mm offset
Tundra - 7.5" wide, 4.875" backspacing, 16mm offset
FZJ80 - 8" wide, 4.5"...

Oh, and I'm amazed at the mpg Mike can get with his KOs. I can barely get 20mpg on the freeway, and I suspect it is because of the aggressive tread pattern on the Bighorns. The only other differences...

Mike, Ken, thanks for the responses. You seem to have opposite opinions on load range E tires, so you should battle it out and let me know who wins. :cool:

Weight is a major contributor to mpg...

The new General Grabber X3 is a more aggressive tread pattern than I was looking for, but they do have a 265/75R16 in load range C which is 31.6" and 49.2lbs. So not everybody has abandoned load...

Yes, I'm posting a wheel/tire thread, sorry. :)

It's time for new tires on my 4Runner and I've been looking into options. Currently I'm running 265/75R16 Maxxis Bighorns which have worked pretty...
