Northern Virginia Roll Call

The only input I have is that in my limited experience with nitto ridge grapplers in snow and ice, they didn’t impress me at all. I only say that because they’re comparable to the Maxx.

 

Ive heard this from you before. After you said that I had no desire to run graps. Thanks for reminding me. Now I would look heavily at the new Mickey Thompsons, but they are assholes for not offering the new tire in 16 inch.

 

Trepadors

 

dont temp me with the forbidden treps

edit, also dont think those will work well on ice

 

Yokohama G003s have a higher silica content, which is supposed to make them good in icy/wintery conditions. I see lots of 4runner guys moving to this tire, but I don't have any experience first hand

 

I love my Kenda 35x10s. I don't think the make them in 16s

 

I like the way the kendas look in my closet

 

Im not ready to give up my super light f5s lol

 

but they do make 17" F5s lol

 

4lbs heavier per for the same back spacing

Edited to add. Alot of people with 3rd gens really hate the trans and gearing after they put wheels and tires. With these wheels weighing less than the factory wheels, it works out well. If I remember correctly my unsprung weight is like 7lbs more (per side) with 315s and these wheels vs 255s on stockers. Im also on 5.29s so this thing rips compared to most trucks on 35s

 

Yeah but those are heavy AF at 21 pounds per wheel.

 

*cries in 42 lb wheel*

 

I was just kidding haha. its already a headache to get ahold of any scs wheel lol

Does make me wonder how much a 17" OD, 16" ID slice of tire weighs lol

 

Yours probably don't scratch as easily

 

You should see the beadlock ring, whoooo doggy.

 

Mine fucking melt every time I get tires installed. I stopped caring

 

Id be more worried about the steering rack than the wheel at that point. Just another reason to go to tundra or LC200 rack

 

I got added to basikbiker’s list for his tundra rack. Once he has one available I’ll be buying and installing that. My rack isn’t thrilled turning 110 lb 35s at 6 psi

 

A friend ran tc's plus 3 kit, with machete beadlocks and 35s, his rack on the 3rd gen killed itself at 20k miles, he had installed everything at 10k. Didnt even really wheel it hard. Just at the cove a few times.

 

I believe it. My heimed tie rod ends don’t help either. Transfers more energy into the rack since they’re so rigid.
