Terra graps come in a 265/70/18 (32.6") and they are P rated, so nice and squishy haha. But the max wheel width is 9" so your rim may be a little exposed. 285s would go nicely with a 9" wheels tho.

 

My tires are at 42, seems like I get better mileage.

 

We have an 05 AC at work Red TRD all the toys 89k only want $15k for it. I drove the one I worked on earlier around today I will say I like the amenities it offers, but dont like the way the damn ABS works, I slid on sand on a sandy pavement asphalt road WTF

 

Please buy it and convince miguel that second gens are better lol. Just kidding, but the abs killswitch is suposed to be an easy mod, especially on the trd O.R.

 

It is..got a good deal on it so I'll live with it, although black is my preference. Only thing that irks me a little about the silver is that Linda's Rav4 is the same so it looks planned.

Single cab because I don't need a huge vehicle, I prefer the better fuel economy. Still hauls my tractor with ease.

 

where did I say they were better

 

285/75/16 E 35-40 psi . No issues been on a year and still look new. Other then rock rash on the wheels

 

For some reason i recall you saying something like that.

 

How's the ride? You have more sidewall for cushion than I will have.

 

Alittle stiff but I think the extra 700lbs of metal I added doesn't help out either.

Rob and Denis run there's at 32 . I rode in robs truck a few weeks ago and it was a much better ride then mine .

 

I think my Duratracs are load range D. Kinda squishy. I run them at 40psi. I'd like to put a higher PSI, but I already have more wear in the middle of the tread

I'm switching to E rated 255/80/17 KM2's soon. I like the stiffer sidewall after seeing what happened to my friend's D rated 285/70/17
KM2's

 

I have E load range, I usually run 32psi. haven't noticed any unusal wear. They are firmer thanstock but not horrible. I'm running 34psi right now. I had 50psi in the rears with a full bed a trailer on the back and it rode smooth. MPGs suffered, but that might be because of the weight (54lbs each)

 

Ya those are the ones. A must have

 

My GMC HD came with "E" tires and when I replaced them I stayed with E but I have buddies that went down to D. My concern was I had a 35' camper that was at the limit of my truck on paper

 

What happened to that tire and what makes you think the same thing wouldn't have happened to an E-rated tire?

 

How do you guys load pics to the forum? There has to be an easier way than sending it to photobucket then going from there; don't want to clog up the TWlive thread with "FAT" all over them either.

 

I email the pic to my home computer (Microsoft Outlook). Right click the pic on the email and "save picture as"..name it and it's saved. When you are in the upload pics here hit browse and select your pic from the list.

 

Most of time I just do it from my phone using Tapatalk. Way easier than uploading pics or using photobucket

 

The ones I don't mind if they stay on TW's server for all to see I upload to my gallery and copy the link from there. The others, I just attach as a thumbnail.

 

Yeah i figured it might be easiest with Tapatalk. I do not have that app yet but will be downloading today. If you delete the picture off of your phone, does it remove it from the website?
