Just got new wheels and tires!!!!

So if any of you have been reading my previous posts about a tire/wheel upgrade.....I went ahead and made a purchase. I had a stock 4x4 BSP ACCESS cab. I went back and forth about what wheels, what size, what tires, what size etc etc, I ended up going with BFG 265/75/16 AT rubber with American Eagle AR-23 wheels. (pics to come) ...I must say that it was the perfect choice! My truck is a manual and I think stepping up to 265 from the 245 had made the truck actual shift smoother. Th BFG tires only came in that size in load range E. I can honestly say that the ride is not Any stiffer than the stock tires ( FYI for anyone thinking that the E load range is over kill...or is not a comfortable ride). They may be a little overkill with a 10 sidewall but I sure do feel confident on the trail now!

For anyone debating upgrading the stock wheels and tires....do it!!! Its amazing how much a more aggressive tire can make these truck look better.... IMHO these trucks should come stock with an AT tire.

I will post pics soon in my first official build thread.


Thanks everyone for your help!


Quick question: my tire shop said they switched the tpms sensors over to my new wheels....but the light in on in the dash....do I need to reset the light? Or did they mess up the sensors?

 

congrats.

Try resetting the light. There is buttun under the steering column...

 

I just purchased the same tires for my 08 DCSB. The air pressure light came on for me too. Read the owners manual on reseting the sensors. No problem since then.

 

Thanks guys!

FYI I do have some slight rubbing with this setup on the mud flaps..gonna try to trim them...and if that does not work they are coming off.

 

I'm ready to see the pics!

 

pics or it didn't happen.
