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.

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???

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

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
