New Mexico Owners BS Thread

I don't know about the duratracs, but Cooper ST MAXX have held up great here in NM

 

My Cooper AT3's worked pretty well, but they were E rated.

 

I have 265/75r16 cooper st maxx tires in load range E. I noticed a little bit of a difference in power but nothing drastic. The tires are quiet on pavement and don't really hum. I didn't notice any fuel economy change really but I drive like a grandpa. Even with my fox shocks the biggest draw was the ride quality suffered. All that being said I would still buy them again and think they are great but you will notice them at first.

 

Original Tire = 265/70R16 WRANGLER ALL-TERRAIN ADVENTURE WITH KEVLAR 35lbs/tire

Current Tire = LT235/85R16 DISCOVERER S/T MAXX 51lbs/tire

I got 9 punctures in 18 months with the original tires. My mail carrier, who drives 50,000 miles on dirt roads each year has said he tried them all and recommended the S/T Maxx. So far, about 6 months, no punctures.

I noticed GPM drop and power drop. the tires are not noisy but they are stiff.

 

235/85r16 is a great tire size. I was going to run it but decided for the 255/85r16 for the extra height since I am lifted and running 4.88 gears. I have a new BFG KO2 only use as a spare for a few miles if any one is interested in running them.

 

I currently have 265/75r16 Falken Wildpeak A/T3Ws on mine. I’m at the point where I need to replace them already after about 50k miles. I’ve had a handful of punctures in mine but that’s mainly because I drive around construction sites. I feel like they have been a great wheel for the past 2.5 years.

 

truck is looking awesome brother!

 

Originally from Hobbs NM here Class of 86 #Eagles. Had the honor of playing for Ralph Tasker. Great times in Hobbs.

 

Hey now don't get rid of my future tire!

 

Granted that was before my time but I know the name well I'm sure that was a great time of your life, were you all still running the full course pressure back in the 80s?

 

Absolutely we were. We started the press when we got off them bus!!

 

Nitto Ridge Grapplers are pretty awesome its what i was running on my T4R, duratracs can take a beating as well.

 

Loving the weather here in Florida... high 60’s - 80.

 

You TDY to Tyndall?

 

Pensacola bro.. I clicked a button to get out of NM

 

lol Congrats! I was only here for a year. So I moved back when I finished college.

 

Has any of you here done the 3deg EXH Cam Gear mod? I’m thinking about doing it this summer

 

I have not but curious to the advantages?

I'm curious to hear some actual real world results now. Especially with a truck armored, 33's 3" lift and 4.88s to compare.
