buy them bitches before the run out of stock!

 

The why not go 265 AT's

 

I want a 275...just like I want a cigar and bourbon. It's just what I want.

 

Settle down, I want to know if it's discontinued before buying. Would be silly to buy a discontinued tire in the event I have a blow out

 

Looks like $1160 or some before mount and balance. How come dtd can get them but not my local DT?

 

Thinking about selling the 16's and going with a 17". These tires performed better than expected, out in my sandy pasture. The only reason I'm considering something else, is to try and save a little weight. I'm not trying to get full price for tires that I've already driven on, but I would expect a reasonable offer. As of now they only have about 300ish miles on them. PM if interested, Thanks!

 

Unless some tire guru can tell me that my fn six shooters with 285/70r17 won't rub

 

your local DT is a DA

 

Hmm....

 

The only rubbing on these, occurs when wheels are locked out. And it's only on the UCA, no rubbing on wheel well... But that's also because the offset(or lack of) on these stock 16" wheels, sucks

 

@justguth threw on some very minimal wheel spacers and boom zero rubbing and the tire sits beautifully inside the wheel well

 

I actually purchased the Spidertrax 1.25" when I was getting the tires, but I figured I'd let 'em ride and see how it worked. I mean, I rarely have to lock out my steering, so it's not a huge issue so far

 

So will my fn wheels suffice?

 

With 285's? I would assume that they would be pretty darn close to my 16" with 285's(both are a 0 offset and tire o.d. is about the same) BUT I'm in the same boat as you, wanting to save some mpg's with something in the 275 range... Flip a coin? Lol

 

You almost had em. You gotta be quicker than that

 

Aaaaaand that's the exact setup, I was wanting(with the exception of black wheels)...tradesies?! Lol jk good looking wheels! BTW are those the Trophy forged(real beadlock)?

 

I was unsure about the certs and availability. It's all good. I got a deal being worked for basically the same price

 

Fake beadlock. I almost pulled the trigger on a wider wheel and went up to a 35, but chickened out last minute. I want to try the 275s for a bit

 

Just giving you shit, I couldn't make the jump to 35s. I am going to stair step like everyone ends up doing. Just a few mods, then you need more to get the same rush and before you know it monster truck
