Skinny and tall - why not?

That is some nice offset. From the angle of the first pic, they look like stock wheels but yours stick out a bit more than most on here.

@Wilbur what's the hit to fuel economy so far?

The truck had less than 200 miles on it when I put on these tires and wheels, so I don't have a baseline. I haven't yet filled the tank, but so far the indicated mileage just around the area is in the 40s.

They slow down the steering feel from the OEM tires. It handles more like a truck, in that the steering is more definite and requires intention to get where you want to go. None of the over-boosted power steering feel of modern Japanese luxury cars.

This is the exact tire and size I’m considering. The only real downside is the weight. There have been no tires I could find in this size that are not 10ply E rated. So going to be 50lbs approximately. I really am strongly considering this size but I’m scared my hybrid will loose significant mpg not just 2-4. Has anyone tried this size ??

Good point about the weight. Stock tires on my XLT are the Pirelli Scorpion ATR that weigh 34lbs. Not sure the stock suspension can handle another 20lbs.
