@YotaKid
Ahwatukee - you still like those tires -

 

So what do you think with the setup?
Major hit to power and mpg or still acceptable?
Looks sweet.

 

I did not read the whole thread. I used 265/75R16, load range E, on my '09 extra cab with manual transmission and had no obvious problems. When 4 wheeling, the truck went everywhere I pointed it. My gas mileage was a bit over 25 mpg, except when offroading. The speedometer was more accurate. I had a relatively new set on the truck when I replaced it with a gen3, so I swapped them before selling the old one.

 

I went from 245/75/16 steel to 265/65/17 alloy... I get 16mpg running 75 and 20.5mpg running 68.. This is with my truck weighing 5300lb with shell and gear..

Same height tire,, just a little wider.. Noticed no difference in MPG or power.. Looks 10x better

 

that looks great? Are those American Racing wheels? did you get any rubbing?

 

Got mine installed yesterday and loving it.
