Install Day 12AUG14 Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx 255/80/17

I didn't understand this either. I will be going with the 255/80/17s when my km2s in same size wear down. I am running atx mojaves 17x8 4.5bs so same size wheel and tire combo as OP. Looking forward to seeing how they look on his truck.

 

thank god i put the extra top spacer on there, they would have rubbed, lol

looks great ryan,

 

They'd actually clear without the top plate spacer kit. I put a lot of thought and research the poop out of 255/80/17 i love the skinner tire look. Better on the mpgs and gained some horses back i'm sure. Great for towing being a 10ply this is by far my favorite mud/all terrain tire on the market

 

nice. Should you keep tabs on it, I would be interested to hearwhat kind of mpg's you get.

 

so in the pics what size tires were your old terra grapplers? im getting ready to get new tires. im looking in to these or the bfg km2

 

Old tires were Nitto Terra Grappler 285/70/17.

The S/T Maxx's are sick. Super quiet and much better ride than Nitto Terra Grapplers.

 

Any rub with them what do you have for lift

 

No Rubbing Issues at all

SUSPENSION
5100's set at 0"
885's OME
Top Plate Spacer Kit
LR UCA's
Carrier Bearing Drop Kit
1.5" Cast Iron Blocks <To Compensate Wildernest Tonneau Camper (250 lbs)
2" Toytec AAL With Zinc Plated U Bolts

 

Good to hear no run did you have run with the 285's I'm def going 255's just debating on km2 or st maxx

 

Yeah i had a slight rub with the 285's but then i read that i was supposed to have a top plate spacer kit with the OME 885's. Once that was on i was golden.

 

I'd for sure go with the S/T Maxx's there better all around in my opinion. I've never really liked M/T cause most of them ride like crap and are loud. The Coopers are super smooth and i hardly hear any road noise.

 

That's good this isn't my daily driver it's my weekend vehicle an what not so that's the only reason I was considering the km2

 

I'm ready to pull the trigger on this same setup: 255/80/17 ST Maxx on 17x8 with 0 OS/4.5 BS. I have the same lift.

One quick question: have you flexed the truck off-road? I'm worried the tire won't stuff in the wheel well without hitting the fender.

Thanks for any help.
