Upgrade to 265/70/16?

Definitely post pics.

 

I will. As a regular cab owner, I wish I could have seen more examples.

 

It would be interesting to see a photo of your current tires next to a photo of the new tires, specially since you went with the 265/75's.

 

That's a nice tire. Unless you're absolutely crazy about preserving your emm-pee-gees, I predict it won't be long before you just mount those things and leave them on, and sell your factory dunlops.

 

I can do that for you. I probably won't get the tires until next week. But I can do that.

Haha. Ya I'm starting to get worried about that. I'm afraid I'll like them so much and will never take them off. I'm not crazy about mpg but I do quite a bit of highway driving as well.

 

Correction I "rubbed" I just did a realignment finally and got the cojones and time to do a caster camber adjust, got the caster to about 2.2* and 2.0* on both sides and the camber to about 0.1* and 0.5* on both sides, and I no longer rub. It sure is nice and it drives A HELL of a lot nicer now!

I need to add that I rubbed severely because I did a lift and did not have the time to do a full out alignment like I did today. If you do not lift and just add tires there should not be a reason why you rub.

 

Alright, so I'm going to get these tires mounted and balanced on Saturday. What exactly does road force balancing help with? Is it a more accurate balancing?

I was calling around getting prices on mount and balance with road force balancing and one girl told me that if I have new tires road force balancing shouldn't be necessary. Do these people know what they're talking about or have their heads up their butts?

 

I did promise pictures. So here you guys go.

Before with 245/75/16







After. Mounted and road force balanced. I bolted them on myself with the lug nuts from the trd off road. Torqued by me.

 

And of course, I put them on Saturday night and got them on the trail Sunday morning!

 

I have a 2011 4x4 ac.
I just put 265/75/16 duratracs on my stock steel wheels with zero rubbing and fit great.

 

That why you didn't come with us on Saturday?

 

Me too. We went through some pretty deep holes and over some decent rocks for a stock setup. Still no rubbing.

Ya, I really wanted to get these tires on before big bear. I got your message on Friday, but had I known on Thursday I would have gotten the tires on Friday and come down for Saturday.

Let me know next time you guys are getting together. I will definitely make it out.

 

No worries buddy just givin ya shit

 

I used these tires all week and put the dunlops back on. I'm thinking they'll give better gas mileage but the ride quality definitely isn't as good as the michelins.
