Anyone else with an '07 dissatisfied with the replacement tire choices??

[Dingo]

Yeah, call me.

I don't have your number any more...you still have mine? Sent you an email.

 

[Dingo]

lol. Mine's at the top of the page every 4 or 5 clicks...

i am also in the market for a new set on my 07 lmtd.

dingo, how is the ride on yours?

they look real good and if they are the same height and wider i really want that look.

btw, the stock tires suck. 26k miles and already near replacement

 

[Dingo]

The ride's better than stock. By far. Traction is FAR superior.

And they are the same height (.24 inches different).

They are 40mm. wider than stock, though.



At 8500 miles, I had Ford warranty my Michelins.

They bought my Toyos.

dingo,

i am probably going to go with them based on your testimonial. so if i spin out on the long isle expressway in a snow storm i can hold you responsible :lol:

appreciate your input

 

[Dingo]

I can give no input as to weather other than sun and rain. I live in Atlanta, remember?

A1, if you are looking for better off-road traction and are willing to put up with a little noisier tire you could do a lot worse than BFG All-terrain T/A's. These are 265/65/R18s and they work great. I had to use an Xcal2 to correct the speedo since they are taller than the stock 235s.

Roger-- I like that look with those on there. Have you had any issues with rubbing in the turns, and how did it affect your mileage??

I have BFG AT's on my Jeep and love them!

 

[Scott Doughtie]

Just got my Toyo's this morning and I have already put around 75 miles on them. Traction is great and they are very smooth on the road.

 

[Seth Russell]

blksn8k, how is the rubbing with those tires and what brand/type are they? I really like those.



----------EDIT----------



Never mind, I realize they are BFGoodrich Radial All-Terrain T/A's

 

[Seth Russell]

Also, is it possible to put 275/65 R18s on? Or will there be a crap-ton of rubbing?

 

[blksn8k]

snookybell, the only rubbing I have ever experienced has been on the right side front when backing up with the wheel turned hard to the left. There is a plastic liner behind the front bumper that rubs ever so slightly. I could probably find a way to tie it back but it really isn't worth the effort. My fuel mileage is probably not much different from stock but I have also made a few other mods so it would not be easy to compare to stock anyway. I had these tires installed by the dealer so I never drove the truck with the original tires. Approaching happy 14,000 miles.

blksn8k--

How much more ground clearance did that give you?

 

[blksn8k]

According to the specs listed on the Tire Rack's website there is a 1.7" difference in tire diameter so theoretically I gained .85" of ground clearance.

 

[Seth Russell]

Thank you, blksn8. I really appreciate the reply. I am looking into getting those now, because they are so awesome looking! Thanks again.
