Good video. I'd always choose a pizza cutter if available, only because I need to use them on snowy roads. Wider tires float a LOT more.

Love a good science-based argument as opposed to people just throwing their subjective opinions around. Thanks for sharing!

Will the factory raptor setup be able to take the 255/85/17s with no mods?

I'm considering having my dealership order them and taking the KO3's back as credit (they can use them as an upsale on another Ranger)

I was planning to get those baja bosses on my current ranger until I ordered my raptor.

Its kind of a bummer this guy only does videos on Toyota's.

Narrow tires seem to do better on frozen lakes with snow and drifts when ice fishing. We'll see how these wider tires perform. It would be fun to try studded tires on our Sunday ice-racing ovals, but doubt I'd go to that expense for a little more fun.
