that's not a ton of sidewall for a tire that stiff.

 

It'll be ight.

 

I've got 265/75R16 Goodyear Duratreks E load

 

Got them for Marchants, Walmart didn't have the E

 

LT245/75R16 Hankook Dynapro ATM E load, rated at 10plys

 

265/75/16 C rated Duratracs. Will likely go up to 285's in D rating. Or 255/85 in E, but likely 285.

 

Stick with the narrower option while you still travel as much as you do. They will have less track, be lighter, you won't have to trim, and you'd be more inclined to get better mileage with a narrower tire. That is why i stuck with the 245s when going to an LT with an E rating.

 

Yeah, but the skinnies only come in E rating, I guess the lack of width makes up for it in weight rating. IDK how I feel about how they look though. I wish Duratracs came in 255/85. I'm considering the STT and KM2. They are more practical, but the wider tires are badass. It's a DD so I'll likely go with the skinnies, but we'll see, this is easily a year away.

 

$360+ BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 Tires

They look like they'd do you nicely

If and when i ever lift, that'll be the tire i want to lift to be able to fit

 

Yeah, and not insanely expensive. I also think there may be other options in a year or two when im serious about a new set. I only got the DTs in August



they do look nice with the SW bumper I have on order.

 

I think my next tires gonna be 255/80/17 either km2 or st maxx.

On that note I enjoyed the nice evening and derped my badges.

 

I want to derp my badges but i can't quite make myself do it.

 

It's super easy

 

You just use a tooth pick on the inners?

 

Yea




This is what the process sorta looked liked.

 

How many coats?

 

I think 6 started with very light coats tho. Didn't use more than a half a can.

 

Thinking of trying gunmetal derp. Bought a can at Blowes

 

Do it I like the stuff it was simple I was kinda skeptic but I'm impressed now

 

people make way too big a deal about dip... go out and buy a can, it peels right off if you dont like it. I did my oem wheels way back in the day
