Northern Virginia Roll Call

I am finally getting new tires next week. Going to grab some Firestone Destination A/Ts, but can't decide on the size...I want to keep my MPGs high, so will probably go with 245/75/16. But, once I throw my lift on, that will look pretty stupid...maybe 275/75/16?

 

@Casper66 how easy will it be to color match the chrome surround on my grill? There is a grill for sale in Sterling for $70. I think I could get him down to at most $50 as it has been on there a while. I already have 4 cans of duplicolor as well.

 

I don't think they have 275/75.

 

Sorry, meant 265/75

 

I don't think that would look bad. But remember, bigger tires, less mpg.

Im getting 15 city/19 highway. Combo 17. But I have 33s in 255/85/16. And mud tires

 

Yep I am just wondering how much I would lose. I like my 21+ per tank right now, plus I drive 500+ miles a week. Decisions, decisions...

 

Going from 245/70 to 265/75 might not be that much of a jump. Theres a tire calculator on tw somewhere. And you can compare the weights of the tires too

 

I have used it but it doesn't give you much for MPG. I might as well just go for it! I think it will look much better once I put the lift on than it will with stock size tires.

 

This is my truck lifted, but on stock tires. 265/70/16

I got 23mpg a long long time ago

 

Aluminum front bumper and winch, full skids minus gas tank skid, rear high clearance with swing out, sliders, 255/85 mud terrains, roof rack

I get 14.8

Looking for a spare 255/85??? Edit 255/80's my bad

 

@Lots2Learn58 might

 

I've got one, thanks

Matt

 

17 or 16 inch wheel?

 

17

 

Shitttttt. I my stock wheels are 16s, unless you are including the SCS wheel in your price

 

Haha good luck finding another 3 to match

 

if you have duplicolor to match your red just scuff the chrome with some fine sand paper wipe with some precleaner or reducer then spray some etching primer on before the color. if your paint is faded which is normal don't expect it to be perfect. you may want to spay 3-4 coats of clear over it also to help protect from bugs and stuff

 

It would be a spare so my spare would be nicer than my regular wheels haha
