Tire help!

These are what came on my truck when I got her. They are Dunlop grantrek p245/75R16 109s. What is a good all terain tire that I can put on without rubbing?? I still have the stock lift for now. I've been looking at Cooper discover a/t3. Would they work? Please help.

 

if your running a 2.7l 4 banger your better off with 245/75/16 to keep the trucks performance as stock, if you go up in size it will reduce the power and mpgs depending on how big you go. a nice trade off would be a Michelin defender or AT2 in p245/75/16 size IMO

 

I have Cooper Discoverer AT3s 265/75/16 on my truck. No rub and I'm impressed with them so far. They replaced my old Duratracs. Much happier with the Coopers.

 

Can I go from the 245/75/16 to the 265/75/16 without rubbing?

that size/weight tire will start digging into the trucks performance to the point of not liking it anymore, if your going for looks not performance then go for it

 

Yeah, you should be able to. I'm on the stock suspension. Every truck is a little different but I believe 265/75/16 is the biggest you can go without rubbing. You might have to remove your front flaps.

Or you can go with 265/70/16 and have zero worries (that's what was on my truck stock).

 

His avatar shows a truck with fog lights, so he likely has a V6.

 

Yes she is a v6 4.0L

 

So go with the 265/70/16 for best result?

 

265/70/16 are a stock tire size option. I have Duratracs in that size waiting to be installed.

 

I think that's the best size, it will work very well with the trucks stock gearing and power (v6)

 

THANK YOU!

 

THANK YOU!

 

265/75-16 will fit without rubbing.

This helps with knowing how different the tire sizes will be.

265/75R16's will fit without issue and they will look very good. They will make your speedo read spot on (as it reads a smidge high from the factory) and performance impact will not be all that noticeable so long as you stay away from load range E tires.

Cooper AT3's are on my list of tires to replace the hankook dynapro's when they go (been loving the hankooks so far but always nice to change)

 

THANK YOU!

 

You're welcome

 

265/75R16's will fit with no issues on a stock suspension. My .02 worth on the AT3, They are junk for snow/ice traction and the tread life is garbage. If you go that route find a shop that will work with you on the tread life warranty, cause you will need money off on new ones too soon. I ran them for a year and a half, like 25K miles and they wore well but they were nearly down to the wear bars.

 

Alright guys which ones for the truck.the Cooper a/t3's or the mickey Thompson Baja stz'?? Both come in a 265/75r/16
