anyone running falken wildpeak at/3 on a sport?

My gas mileage sucks anyway because I have foot issues

 

265/70r17, with 1.25" spacers. Getting rubbing here in the photos. Is this an easy heat gun fix? Or am I looking at a cmc?

 

I was able to make lots of room with the heat gun. I’m still just barely touching in certain situations. Also 1.25” spacers with T4R wheels and 265/70-17 wildpeaks. I’ll be lifting it about 1.5” in the next couple weeks and I’ll reevaluate clearances then.

 

Cool, I'll give it the Ol heat gun treatment then, see what I can pull off. I've got the LT, so they've got a bit of tread on them, and barely rub. Flat ground turning is fine, any angled ground, and they rub ever so slightly. Hopefully the heat gun treatment works, but... My wife will be sad (and I'll be fighting back the smile) if it comes to me announcing its gonna need the lift in sooner than I planned.

 

Running the wild peaks on my 16 Sport with only slight rubbing issues at full turn. But then again, my wheels are a -12 offset and makes them stick out slightly. Have close to 30K miles on them and love them. Great in all the snow we get up here in the northeast.

 

Do most people run LT tires or P tires?

 

It's a mix from the 200+ page thread I read. P guys like the light weight, VS LT guys like the deeper treads, and more puncture proof. I'm a travel welder, so some spots I go to are sketchy on tires, plus hunting in Northern Maine, lots of ledge that love making 4 ply tires their bitch.

 

Im running LT right now. Next tires Id ideally like to go larger (33" or 34") but if I go with those sizes in LT I'm committing myself to regearing. 33" P tires and I might be able to skip the regearing.

 

Well, voyage trip made, and didn't lose any mpg (same road I drive every day from house to local city) always get between 20.5 and 21.5mpg on this trip. So, doesn't seem to have made much a difference going 1 size bigger into an LT. I'll take it for now.

I know my truck is a 2nd gen, but I'm running Falkens too.

Stock suspension? Any rubbing?

 

P or LT tires?

 

Not LT.

 

This is with a lift, but they fit without lift as well (265-70-17 Falken Wildpeak at3

 

I have the SL rated 4 ply in 265/70/17 with no lift & 8.5X17 0 offset.

I wanted a good all year round tire without adding a lot of weight so I went with this tire. Definitely feels softer than an E rated 10 ply tires that for sure. Still keeping good MPG's on the highway & decent city mileage as well.

Like others have said they set out of the fender just about right & no rubbing issues. Really happy with these just bought a 5th wheel & tire for a spare

 

if you went a tire size bigger, your speedo and estimated mpg is now inaccurate

 

Stock (31s) is less accurate than 32s when compared to GPS speed.

 

I've definitely heard that from several folks. For some reason my stock 265/65 are dead on with radar and gps.

 

My speeds now match w/the tire size change. *shrug*
