NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I have 255/80/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and like them. Like the size even more

 

Still rocking my Cooper ST Maxx's and liking them.

 

I’m on 315 falkens MT

No issues with them, I’ll probably go back to coopers mtps or km3’s next

 

Anyone have a hook up on lexus parts? I really (really really) don't want to spend $800 on OEM LCAs

 

I’m looking at the KM3’s trying to go 35’s but I have 16” wheels

 

If you're a Costco member you can get a 15% off coupon for parts. I've used it for Toyota parts before.

Looks like theyre still cheaper online, but thanks for the heads up, I didnt know that was a thing.

 

that's pretty rad. need to take my truck in to figure out where this Air bag sensor malfunction code is coming from. might help out!

 

Cooper Maxx 255/80r17 , but I need new ones soon. Trying to convince myself the extra cost and effort to make 34’s fit isn’t worth it and that I should stick with 33’s

 

My lift is coming together finally. Got my Icon Coils and UCAs in last week and my wife surprised me with Dakars today for our anniversary. Just waiting on the rear shocks and bumps to come in, then I'll be ready.

 

I have 285/75-16 duratracs now that are about due for replacement and have been having the same debate looking at 285/75-17's..

Yesterday I was convinced to say F*%# it! and go with the 34's... today I started to thing about the ease of replacement should something go wrong on long trips. That size I cannot imagine being very common in store. and if I am going to go with a big boy tire ill just step up to 35's. Ultimately that wont happen while I am still daily driving my truck so 33's it is.

 

I convinced my self to to go 35’s and not to 37’s still haven’t bought tires yet so it’s still a possibility if I can’t find an actual 35

 

Check out the tall skinny 33s...they are taller than the 285s and there’s no real power or MPG hit. With all of my shit I’m still getting 16-17 highway before adjusting for tire size MPG change.

 

haha yeah 37's would we wicked. but again, for me at least, that is only going to happen if I am not driving the truck all the time. that much rubber is hard on parts!

I am all about the tall skinnies! that's why the 285/75/17 was so appealing to me. I wish there were more companies out there offering 255/85's though.

 

No stay away from km3’s they runny insanely small. Brand new they are smaller than a worn stt pro which is already small for its size. Plus from what I’ve seen and read they are essentially the km2 but with more siping and grooves and a little more sidewall protection.

 

Still looking around for tires and sizes with the 16” wheel you can’t get a true 35 it’s other a 36 somthing or 34
I’ve heard good things about the stt pros as well

 

A 315/75r16 is a 35" tire. Unless you are thinking that 34.9" isn't a "true" 35" tire. When I search for 35x12.5r17 tires, they all spec between 34.5" to 34.8", so not true 35's either....

Toyo M/T 315/75r16 = 34.9"
Toyo M/T 35x12.5r17 = 34.8"

There are 22 different options in that size shown on Tire Rack's website, and that doesn't include the Toyo options (3). Discount Tire's website lists 35 different options in 315/75r16, and those also doesn't include the Toyo options.

 

I thought the 315/75r16 was 34.6 but it’s either a 34 or 36 so ima stick with the 34

 

Fotays or fuggedabotit!!!!!



I think each MFRs’ specs can vary a little, so check before you buy.

 

Yeah I know but they’re ridiculously small. All identical sizes, my MTR’s were bigger by just over 1/2” to the stt pros, and the worn stt pro’s are about 1/2” bigger than the km3’s. There’s a significant difference. Go 37/12.5/17 if you want a true 35” km3
