Redeemed: rngr's Trail Taco w/side of T4R

35 will fit

 

If they’re actually 34. Haha.

And from my little pressure experiment, I’d about guarantee that an actual 34” bias tire would be considerably taller than a 315 radial at low pressure.

 

Did you measure the tires on the wheel aired up or off the wheel? Air them up to 40 psi and measure again with no weight on the tire. I bet you see 3/4"-1" difference. Also you're comparing worn, very broken in KM2s to brand new LTBs in a flex test. Wear them in some then compare flex. The LTBs will only get better at that. Groove them and the contest really won't be fair.

 

Interco puts all their own measurements on the website under the tire. They measure at the Max psi and it tells you what rim width they used

 

I made my height comparison with both unmounted. The KM2 I used was the one that replaced the one you slashed, so it’s about half tread.

Side by side, unmounted they are exactly the same height.

I’ll pull a tape on a mounted, unweighted LTB and see what it reads.

 

Yes, but it doesn’t appear they are correct.

*** unless I am the idiot here and the OD is affected that much by being mounted. I wouldn’t have assumed it would change it. Going to measure and find out.


Either way, I don’t see how a half tread 255 is the same size.

 

mounted.... no, but pressure and load.... yes




but you already know that

 

That's why you buy 35s

 

Pressure is what I meant by mounted.

 

I’m just fiddling around trying to get away with not tubbing.

 

Buy one and find out

 

I’m too cheap.

 

***I was wrong***

33.5 at 32psi off the truck. Learn something new every day. Sorry for doubting you, Interco. Moving on

 

Did you air it up to 40? Makes a difference

 

No. Left them where I had them. At 1/10” shy of their claimed height, I’m satisfied.

I didn’t realize how much difference air pressure would have on the diameter if a tire. Cool stuff!

 

Wheel width also makes a difference on mounted height.

 

I say air them up to 40 because it makes a huge difference driving on road. Gets those outside lugs off the ground.

 

Think it’s worth wearing the centers out of them fast?

 

Seriously though...

Those outside lugs are ridiculous. I can’t walk by my truck without stopping to admire them.
