Post your 2014+ wheel/tire set-up

[Kerrslight]

i see you in your signature you went with the 295 55 20, Did the 305's rub pretty bad?

 

Yea. I had them order both 305 and 295 just in the instance the 305 were too wide. They got one mounted and threaded on the hub and I could tell immediately they were too wide. The 295 are just right. Still get a slight rub at full lock in reverse, but I'll look when I get home. I think I'll be able to fix it with some zip ties.

Does anyone have a link to a thread with the zip tie mod? I just want to see exactly where they attached the ties.

Im interested in this as well.

 

On another note, did anybody else experience a loose floaty feeling once they had new tires installed? I think what I'm experiencing is just a different feel since my last tires were pretty worn down and these new tires have some healthy lugs. Maybe after a few hundred miles it will calm down, but I feel like I'm all over the road. Steering feels loose and I can feel some tire roll on sharper turns. Had them at 40 when they were installed yesterday and aired up to 45 this morning. Not sure I noticed much difference. I think I'm just not used to larger, deeper treaded tires.

I felt that way when I got my p rated 275/60s but once I switch to my 10plys that went away. But I am really considering going back to the prated tires

I have read that the Toyo Extremes are "floaty" for the first few hundred miles then they settle down.

I can actually have a worth post in here now that I have some new tires! Been waiting for this day for a while now. Super pleased with the outcome.

 

20x10 Fuel Maverick -12 offset with 295/55/20 Toyo AT2. Have slight rub on inner liner at full lock, but should be able to take care of it with some zip ties.

 

Could you post a pic from the side like you have in your sig for a before and after? New tires look great with the wheels! Mine are still on backorder. I have a body lift and may be thinking 33 12,50 toyo mt's might look a bit too small. Thanks!

Thanks guys. Good to know. I've got to be fairly certain that is what it is.

Thanks man. I'll snap a pic tonight for you. Are you doing a level and body lift or what? I know if you do at least a 2.5" level and 1-2" body lift you should be able to clear 33x12.5 without issue.

I noticed that too, when I switched from my 50k mile Cooper AT3's to my new Toyos. After 5-6k miles on the new tires, I still notice it, but not as bad as when they were new. I think that comes with the territory when running tires with deep tread.

Mine rub pretty bad at full lock on the inside rears. I took the lower valance off too. Fuel Beast 20x10 -18 offset. 305/55 Toyo Open Country AT Xtreme

 

 

So, what's the zip tie/washer/magical mod that everyone keeps talking about. Haven't seen a thread about it.

Obviously drilling a hole or two on the liner side, but what are people connecting/wrapping the other side of the zip tie to???

[Kerrslight]

That setup looks great man

I might try to climb under the truck today when I get home from work and take a look. Just depends if its raining or not.

Seems to be the way these tires ride. After 20K on mine they still feel that way, not as bad as new but they never seem to track well, kind of squirmy, really bad on grooved concrete. A lot of it I think has to do with the wider footprint, I'll see if there's a difference here in a few weeks when I replace the Toyo's with new 305 BFG KO2's
