265/70r17 instead of stock?

oh ok, cool, I was just making sure the general consensus was about the same, thanks!

 

I run the LTX AT2's and they're the best all-round tire for this application.
I find my speedo runs about 3% slower than actual speed over ground, per GPS.
No rubbing or clearance issues.

 

I am running that size GY Silent armors with stock rims on my 08. I drive mostly highway and they are great for it, nice and quiet. I don't have any complaints yet but haven't had them offroad either. They do well on ice and snow though so far.

 

Are you running: GY SA P265/70r17 or LT265/70r17? trying to find out because the passengers are good and cheaper p=4 ply LT have 6 and 8 ply

 

I just got a pair of P-metric 265/70R17 Silent Armors on my stock '11 DCLB

-They looks great and are solid tires.
-No rubbing at all
-Noise is the same and possibly less than the dunflops
-Drives slightly better.
-Because of the speedo error with stock tires my MPG's have "dropped" to 18.5-19.0 from 19.5 or so.
-Great tire. Would buy again.
-Don't see the need to get an LT. They have the Kevlar which is supposedly strengthens the tire anyway

I took pics but they weren't that great. Can upload others if you want.

 

yeah I would like to see them, please and thank you

 

I rub with that size hankook mt. I have removed the flaps already.

Here are some more after I shined them up last week:




Hope these help. The contrast sucks because it's a camera phone and it was really bright out that day.

 

Right now I am running the stock Dunlops that came with the truck - P245/75/16's. I bought an Ultragauge and noticed that it was showing my speedometer to be off by 2 mph. When I had my speedometer set on 70 mph exactly, the Ultragauge was reading 68 mph. I confirmed this with my buddy who used his Iphone with a speedometer app and gps. My speedo is exactly 2 mph off. When the stock Dunlops need to be replaced, I will be getting Hankook Dynapro's in P265/75/16's. This then should put my speedo right on the money.

 

Dude nice tires! How did u get em so clean?

 

Thanks. I used Armor All Extreme tire shine. It's a gel wipe-on type

 

Dude I like the way the tires fill up the wheel well just a little more, I think I am going white letter though...

serious with the armor-all! Looks great! thanks for sharing

 

thanks. Post pics. I'd like to see the white letters out

 

Thanks for the info! I have always liked that tire. When these stock Bridgestones wear out, that tire and that size will be on my truck. Thanks again.

 

I'm running 265/70/17's on my tundra BFG Rugged Terrains with Outline white letters and charcoal grey rims....I've run tires both ways and actually like the look of the OWL out. Wasn't such a fan of the block white letters on my old BFG AT's
