Enigmaaron's Build

Looks excellent. Should those are taller than your previous right?

 

Yeah, I had 265/75R16 before. Can't wait to test em out next weekend at Rausch.

 

sure no one invited me......
pussy's

 

Oh, you didn't get an invite? Well the OP of the meet is kinda a dick.

 

i need to call and tell her whats up today but my memebership is exp....

 

So? Just renew when you get there.

 

need a memebers id to camp

 

You'll be fine. There's always someone camping Friday night who doesn't have a membership yet.

 

If I make it to RC next weekend I would like to borrow your spare to see how it looks on my truck, and maybe john's too so I can decide if I need to buy your spare wheels

 

No problem. And you definitely need to buy my wheels.

 

I saw a silver 2nd gen the other day with the 1st gen wheels, looked really good but I'm not sure if I like them on my truck. they would of course need to be painted black...

 

Yeah bro u can throw my spare on too

 

haha nice

 

How u likeing the tires buddy? There great on the road ain't they

 

Love em so far. No vibes or anything on the highway. A little more roll and looser feel in turns but not bad. Just noticeable, not scary. The noise level is as expected which is good. With the old AT's I could hear them when cruising but if I gassed it the exhaust drowned them out. With the KM2's I can still hear them a little over the exhaust when accelerating. Oh and the look great!

 

What psi u run? I drive 1hr each way to work on the highway and found that 38psi felt the best for pavement use... Alil stiff on bumps an stuff but very stable even at 80mph on/off ramps on the highway an quick lane changes

 

I'm at 35 now. Chalk test tells me I should probably drop it to 34 for nice even wear.

 

Same here I run 34 psi as per my chalk test results

 

I shall see this weekend what I need to run in mine.

You guys aren't running differing PSI from front to back?

I noticed my front requires more then the rear due to the uneven weight distribution.

I chalk tested mine the opposite way. I cleaned the tires then overfilled them and drove around on a new concrete slab decreasing pressure until I was good. The concrete marked the areas that touch vs chalk wearing away from the tires. This method is much quicker and IMO more accurate - problem is you need to have a slab like I do.

My Duratracs are at 40 in front and 37-38 in rear. I imagine E rated tires like these will require a higher PSI

 

I tested mine by sweeping a clean spot in the garage behind each tire, marking up two rows of lugs with sidewalk chalk, then backed up a couple feet and looked at the chalk mark on the floor. At 35 psi it looked like the outer edge of the lugs in the row that sticks out farther were just barely not touching. So I figure 34 should be good, didn't have time to test more thoroughly.

Seemed the same front to back for me. But I'm also lazy and don't feel like having to remember two different pressures and changing it when I rotate my tires.

And like ant said, the E load rating with a stiffer sidewall lets you run a lower pressure since it can hold itself up. My guess is it's also more forgiving on the pressure you need to be at for even wear.
