Goodyear Wrangler DURATRAC's

chunking seems to have stopped. the front of alot of the lugs are chunked now. still in balance now though so im impressed with that

 

Thats what I have. Running 45lbs right now.

 

Nope, 285/70/17s.

 

Cool, thanks

Anyone know if an alignment is necessary when changing to new tire/rim size? Mine feels fine, but wondering if it needs to be done anyway.

 

gettin these next month...

big question. go with stock trd sport wheels, and paint em black?

oooorrrr, buy my 285/70/17's and wait to put em on when i get a wheel with good enough backspacing???

decisions = suck...

 

I say no black and or 285's

 

i personally like black wheels, but especially bc my truck is silver.

and i want to go to 285's b/c i have a 3"...

i dont want it to look dumb!

 

It'll look good w/ 285 or 265~

 

hmm... we'll seeeeeeeeee.

half believe ya.

 

Yeah..It seems like I'm the only one w/ 265/70/17 duratracs that's rubbin. Im lifted w/ Billsteins set @ 2.5" utelizing the OEM coils and was able to get an alignment....however I don't know if it's to spec. I just know that it's not pulling one way or the other!

Like Fabulous, I'm rubbin on the backside of the LCA.

I haven't noticed any rubbage during my encouners with the trails...but thats not to say that I've had to turn the wheel all the way. It seems to only happen when I'm backing up and turn the wheel all the way right or left.

 

Like Namyo said "no black"...especially painted stockers IMO. If anything, save up to buy some nice black wheels with the appropriate back spacing for the 285's!!! It's what I wish I would of done!

 

That's weird. Are your steering bump stops adjusted correctly? Sounds like you might be getting too much steering angle causing rubbing the LCAs. 265/70/17s shouldn't be rubbing the LCAs

 

My 285/75/16 Duratracs are awaiting installation at the tire store. Can't wait to mount'm up!! (that's what SHE said)

 

Your not the only one. 265/75/16 billies at 2.5 w/spidertrax and mine rub too in reverse.

 

I hear ya "Easy Money"

 

I had my truck re-aligned yesterday. The numbers are much improved from before. I'll have to see if it stops the rubbing on my LCA's...but that might have to wait a few days, as it's snowing really good here.

Numbers now are...

caster 1.9/ 2.1
Camber 0.58/ 0.61
toe 0.02/ 0.03

Feels much better through the wheel, and the tires look a lot straighter from the front. I suggest you have the alignment looked at, because "spec" is a pretty wide area. Mine was in spec as well, just not very good.

 

about how much they seet you back

 

i have 265/75/16s on stock rims, 2.5" lift, no rubbing
