American Racing Mojave and BF Goodrich A/T questions

Hey everyone I am looking to get a new wheel and tire combo. I want the american racing 16" teflon mojave and a set of 270/65/17 BF goodrich all terrain. I have the 4 banger 5 speed ext cab. The three questions I have are. What do I do about the TPMS? I have the stock steel wheels now. THe second is are there a lighten BF all terrain out there or is there only the one? Finally anyone have a seggestion of where I could get a great deal?

 

I assume you mean 265/70/17. There's no such thing as a 270/65/17 tires.

For the tpms, the shop may be able to flip them 180 degrees. If not, they can use TPMS straps.

 

wow yes sorry i meant 265/70/16 tires. I heard about the flipping of the sensors. Has anyone done this?

 

Ugh have the tire shop swap the TMPS onto you're new wheels...

 

Yes, have them do that by flipping them, or using the TPMS straps, as I noted above.

The steel wheel sensors have a different seat angle than the alloys, so they are not a "direct" swap.


I have had the tpms straps now for 25K miles with no issues.

 

cool guys, I hadn't heard of the straps, thanks for the suggestion
