    Actually 285/70/17...

    35/12.50/17

    This thread has been quite helpful.
    Once my bets clear from this election I'm going with the gunmetal FN FXpros and 285/75/17 AT3 XLTs with white lettering.
    I wanted to go with the Toyo AT III but cant get the White lettering in this size...oh well.

    Man I love the ridge grapplers but I can't see myself putting them as they're like 74 lbs each? Most likely will go MTRs at 64lbs with c-range when I go up to 35s.

    How's those NRG tires, quiet on the pavement I'm guessing?

    And did you powdercoat your Pro Skid Plate?

    Nice clean setup!

    So far (less than 200 miles on them) I like them much better than the St Maxx (265/75/16 on ray 10’s) they replaced. Had less than 5k miles on the coopers and got tired of them.

    I actually cerakoted it black/burnt bronze. Thanks!

    Haha i’m one of those guys... i did everything before the regear...

    To be honest... it’s honestly not much worse than when I had 285s.

    That being said I did do the OVTune 2.0, it’s a night and day difference. Way better shifting, smoother acceleration. Don’t get me wrong, my truck is slow as hell, but i didn’t buy it to be fast.

    Regear/Supercharger coming sometime next year.

    I think most s/c kits out there are for stock gearing *(as of now at-least). I re-geared to 5.29's and would have to go back to stock gears if I want to put on a s/c someday.
    Also, re-gearing limits your max speed. I cannot go faster than 78mph even if I stand on the gas pedal, 80mph if I am standing on gas and going downhill and also the rpms shoot up to over 5k when I do that. Safe upper limit is about 75mph. An s/c on a taco when it could only go upto 78 mph max speed sort-of defeats the purpose.

    Son of a, I bought them 2 weeks ago, and they didn't have the 100 off instant rebate.

    Ordered a set of 5 Geolander MTs from Discount Tire today in this size. They should look a good bit larger than my 255/80 pizza cutters. I was told they will take about a week to get in...I can’t wait!

    When i got up to the snow. it was mud =/. The XLTs did ok. Didn't seem to have any issuses with light mud. I will say traction on wet roads is a lot better than the falkens i had before.
