New England B.S. Thread

It's an honorary 4 letter word

 

hey, my names Mike. I'll be assisting you today.

Erik, if you will, I cant help but notice that ever since a few pages back, you have been interested in going the most expensive, biggest, useless way possible with your truck. may i inquire as to why you feel like you need to run 35" tires on a toyota tacoma, with a mere 239hp, and not much more torque? are you getting gas mileage in the 50's, and feeling like you need to bring it down to the low teens? lets start off with disecting your first plan of full a full LT set up, whilst you live in New England. planning a trip to AZ every weekend? or are you mostly interested in running pot holes over faster than any of your buddies can? I'm glad to see that you have since retracted to thinking about a MT set-up, hence asking one of us guys, running said set-up. can we run 35" tires on an MT set up? hmm, can you teleport to a year of your choice? I didnt think so. well the answer is the same in reference to running 35s on an MT set up. usually, when you spend 3-4k dollars for a good MT set up, put a lot of hours of work into your truck, and top off the shake with some good armor, you want your truck to be able to make a normal right or left turn at the end of the day. this, is why MT guys run 255/85's, 265/75's, 305/70's, 285/75's and 285/70's. because the tire fits, and also allow the truck to function normally. if you put 35s on your truck, i hope you regear to 5.79's, run fiberglass at all 4 corners (which would look horrible with armor/plate bumpers), and SAS.



long story short, were not interested in running the biggest most expensive tires on our trucks, to, in turn, let the fucking things sit in the driveway for 6.5 days out of week. we put big money into our trucks to make them MORE capable, not less. consider that.

 

Go 3" suspension and a body lift if you want to run 35s. There is no need to run 35s for any of the trails within a 1,000 mile radius of us. 33s do much more than just fine. Just my $0.02 having wheeled with 265/65/17, 265/70/17, and 285/70/17 tires.

The Duratracs gave me much more clearance. The downside to them is stuffing your wheel wells. That's why I'm going with a body lift to see if I like it

 

buy my 265/75/16's and wheels when i take them off this summer, can keep them on full time and not worry about that shit

 

One problem, I can't run 16s

 

Good meeting up with you too - now I got a face with the name! I am just glad those adapters will get put to use somehow, hate seeing things like those sit on the shelves and waste away.

If you need assistance with any stereo installs in the future, let me know. I'll be sure to not over serve myself the night before and still be in a fog.

 

To answer the question, you can't run 35's without cutting. Depending on width, to run 33's there is trimming required.

 

So who's ready for more snow?

 

Not me, im about to get on a plane to the dominican republic for the week.

 

I hope you black out and wake up naked with an entire bunch of plantains shoved where no man should have something shoved. Enjoy the heat, dickkkkk!!!

 

Sounds fun. Sure will beat working. I'm not much of a beach person unless I'm surfing or fishing. Otherwise I'd rather be off in the woods.

 

you guys supposed to get a decent about? I think right now I'm in the 4-8" range. One last hurrah for the snow blower before retiring it for the season.

 

I'm ready for more snow!! Although right about now, I'm wishing I had Mike's Duratracs to go play in the snow instead of the H/Ts...


Mike, nice response to the guy asking about 35's.


To the guy who wants to run 35's, you'll need glass, probably a regear and the Allpro LT kit wouldn't hurt to space your wheels out further. It's not cheap to run a tire that big on a Tacoma.

 

I'd like some just so I can play in the snow with the whore tires I traded Dave for yesterday.

 

What kind of hit did your MPG's take by just trading to the M/Ts?

 

Fkn festive..of course it's going to be this time of the week, so I'll be getting a shit ton of calls "is the league cancelling games this week?" Um..do we ever? Nope.

 

Nope you will have to cut it up .

Dipshit

Why is there no need to run 35's ?

Now there for sale . Shit dude you need to make up your mind

Have fun!

 

Not sure yet. Just picking them up side by side they are lighter than my old steel wheels/ highway tires. They're not really MT's, they're the version of duratracs Goodyear makes for Walmart. Pretty aggressive though.

I don't think I'll take much of a hit with mpgs. I noticed it took less effort for the truck to go up the large hill in my neighborhood where before I was usually in 2nd, now I can be in 3rd without lugging it. I had about 1/2 tank when I put them on. I keep track of fuel consumption/ cost/ mpgs on an app on my phone, so I may see some change next fill up.

 

when i get new ones! fuck, i'd give them away, idc.
