The Lair

Thanks Jaime! I'm contemplating running the white letters out and using an orange paint pen on them.

We'll see.

 

That would look sick!

 

Sticking to C definitely limits tire choice.

 

When I bought the Ridge Grapplers the E rated was only 4 lbs heavier than the C. When I inquired Nitto told me they were nearly identical except for how the plys were laid out.

I do tow a utility trailer once and a while so I wanted to be sure I wouldn't have any issues. Honestly, I have pulled 22.2 mpg on a 3 hour trip, and if I take it easy I can get nearly 18 commuting.

As Conner said, the 255/80 Coopers only come in an E. They are an inch narrower than my current tire. I hope that helps since they are also taller.

 

Lurking in here and I’ll say that I LOVE my ST Maxx.. 255/80. The E is stiffer no doubt but they ride down the road just fine. The 12lbs extra per tire I did feel while starting and stopping when I first got them but I’m used to it now

 

Not yet but I am definitely buying 5 Cooper ST Maxx in 255/80r17 the next time the go on sale. I just wasn't ready this holiday.

 

That’s the size I got back in January. $1000 out the door at Town Fair Tire due to their price match. I did end up having to put 1” spacers on due to rubbing on full turn

 

Thanks Daniel.

I may even paint the hubs orange since I'm not going to run any caps. Possibly get Devil horn emblems or something else in black. I like to be different.

 

Nice! I'm using them on steelies.

 

What wheels? Do you have any lift?

 

I have towed my ATV's, boat, and 3500 lb travel trailer thousands of miles with my C rated tires and never had a bit of trouble.

 

Stock Sport 17's from a 2014. I have 5100's with 884s from @HeadStrong Off-Road. I've also done some plastic cutting with a utility knife. I get a lot of looks and compliments on them haha

 

I figure you guys would appreciate this. My wife just gave me an early birthday present.



She gets it.

 

Happy Birthday Daniel @08TRDOFFROAD !! AND MANY MORE!

 

@EatSleepTacos - you gearing up for Dorian...? Looks like it may still be a Cat 2 when it churns your way...

 

He's probably sleeping or unpacking.

 

Sleeping hell, he’s gearing up the kayak to paddle some storm surge.

 

I haven’t done anything yet. Just got home after driving 10 hours and went right into washing the rig and unpacking. I knew if I didn’t do it right away, it’d be awhile.

 

Damn man you trying to get those neighbors pissed.

I haven't even started yet. I am about to head out and do that now.

 

I made sure to rinse my driveway off. There was a lootttttt of mud under there.
