Stock wheel questions

Let’s not get out hand boys

 

Hi I’m just a new guy trying to learn a few things. Can someone tell me in layman’s terms what a cab mount chop is. I’m trying to get some ideas on tires. I’m thinking of going from the stock OR pkg tires ( another acronym), to something maybe all-terrain. I guess on my OEM rims (16”), but am not sure what size I need to look for? I want 33’s. I prefer to try to keep a decent quality ride and noise level if at all possible. Oh, on my “wish list”is also no/minimal cutting, w/o lots of rubbing. Thank you.

 

Let's get out of hand lol

 

The cab mount is located kind of on the wheel well. Look towards the cab in the wheel well and you'll see it. We chop them a little to get the mount it off the way

 

I know this doesn't pertain to OP, as he plans on changing wheels eventually; I never understood mounting 285s on a 7" rim. Section width is damn near the same as a 265 once the rim gets done pinching the tire.

 

Waiting for what? I proved you know nothing about tires, what more can I do? I'm sorry you don't like the facts, but they are what they are. I'm guessing your flawed logic is that just because it hasn't failed for you yet that an entire industry must be wrong? Seems kind of stupid logic, but you can't argue with the science. Really wonder why a genius like yourself hasn't been picked up by one of the major tire companies since you are obviously smarter than all of their engineers combined. Who needs a college degree when there are test pilots like yourself that live on the edge?

You really make me smile with your ignorance of your chalk test science. That is hilarious! Almost as hilarious that with your shade tree knowledge you know exactly how your bead sits. What did you do, chalk your bead as well??

 

I'm guessing from your statement and the fact that you are self described "certified youtube mechanic" that you have zero industry experience. There are few things that crack me up more than someone who buys a 4x4 and all of the sudden knows more than everyone because they found their information on the internet so it has to be true. I'm sure you are the same guy that goes to the doctor and tells them that you don't need an xray because you know your arm is broke because you read it on the internet.

 

its an inside joke but good for you for making up a ridiculous statement about my life from reading three words on my bio

 

Sungod may have pulled the graphic from the Inet. But what the graphic depicts is accurate.

Putting "poor man's beadlock" and backyard experience to the side.

The tire is being run in a compromised install. Tire failure is more likely. There isn't a layperson with the knowledge and experience of the tire manufacturer and the engineers and the testing to develop a tire. Take the anecdotal knowledge with a big dose of salt.

Like I said before. I'm sure the tire can be installed. I suggest using tires with rim widths that are specified. Outside of the rim width range is you assuming a level of risk with improper tire installation.

 

You proved nothing and provided no empirical data or substantiating artifacts. Show me the data that demonstrates increased tire wear and tire failure and I’ll be happy to consider it. Let me know when you get that data from the tire manufacturers. Either way you need to take a Xanax or something.

Chalk up another to the ignore list

 

What more proof you need? Just because you haven't experienced a failure yet means that it is safe? That is some seriously flawed logic. Who do you consider and expert? Michelin? Tirerack? USTRA? I mean seriously, we should believe that you know more than an entire industry because something hasn't failed for you? Do you really think that they created these specifications just because they had nothing better to do? You can ignore me if you like, but you can't ignore the science and Dawin's theory wasn't immediate, but over time as you will eventually see.

 

I've been running 285's for years on 7" wide wheels with absolutely no problems
