NW WA Meet / BS Thread

+1 for Falken AT3Ws, I'm running 265/75/16. They're quiet on pavement and perform great in rain and snow.

 

Cooper ST Maxx are the AT's I go with if I want an all terrain tire.

 

Currently running these and like them so far. Came from a K02 which are a disaster on wet pavement yet nobody seems to mention that?

 

I've never run that tire so not sure but heard pretty good things? I know I love the ST maxx though, best AT i've run and quiet too.

 

I've had mine for about a year and they seem better than KM2s at least. Time will tell, but liking them better all around than the KM2. I can imagine them getting bad in the wet, but I haven't experienced an 'awesome' wet pavement tire that would do well offroad yet, so I typically hold back opinions.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know why I obsess over these things.

I like the Falcon Wildpeak A/T3W on paper and their performance sounds perfect. I have seen reviews that tread life is shorter than advertised (but at least it's warranted). Still, I think this is my top contender. Also comes in SL load range.

I just need to decide on a size...
265/70R16 (stock size)
265/75R16 (1" taller than stock - why not?)

 

Are you lifted at all? I had the same dilemma and I'm content with my decision to size up. Looks better with my moderate lift (~2"), doesn't rub at all, and there's no noticeable impact to MPGs.

My only complaint is there's a slight wobble in my steering wheel if the tires are aired to 40 PSI or higher. I've been running them at 34 PSI without any issues.

 

No lift and I don't have any plans to add a lift. Which makes me think stock size may be a better option.

Do it

 

Would I need to get a bigger spare also if I went up to 265/75R16?

 

HA! ya got me! my mouf was open, my mouf was open...

Everyone says that and sure as $hit, the lift happens.
Tires are like a gateway to the next thing, sliders and then skids...

 

If you go up to 17" wheels you can get the nitto ridge grapplers, which I have in C-range. They are absolutely fantastic (on the street thus far).

 

I'm sold. $412 from Tire Buyer shipped to my house. That is stupid cheap.

 

Well decided I needed some snow because I have been working like a dog. But decided to take the RZR out instead of the Taco. Made up WELL past the gate at the top of tinkham up into the water shed....... so many people up getting trees..

 

That thing is sweet!

 

Only if you have an LSD

 

I just got my ko2s put on on Saturday, which was dumping. Spun the tires no problem, figured it was cause they were brand new. They do seem to slip pretty often

 

Trucks ruined
I’ll give you $50 for it

 

Would the auto LSD system (regulated at the brakes) be impacted by the mismatched tire size with the spare on? Or just a mechanical LSD?
