SlavO,

How do the new tires ride compared to stock (the new ones being 8 ply vs. 4). Also, any noticeable difference in power/mpg? Do these measure a true 33" on the truck? I have 275-60 Toyos and they are about 32". Thanks for any info!

With winter mix gas, level kit and tires my mpg has drop big time. I don't care at all tho, ride is still awesome , tires where 33" before installed onto the wheels I've not even measured tho. My ride hight is 1/2" higher in the front. I think I'm going to install the rear kit as well , when i get time. I'll take a measurement tomorrow at work parked on level ground. Only 200 miles on the tires loving them so far.

I am getting quotes on this tire in the same size for my '07 with 2" leveling. I am replacing a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers. I liked the Nittos until the end of their tread life, and the ride got rough! I appreciate the reviews!!

Got mine mounted and installed yesterday. These are 285/65R18 (32.6"). Sorry for the dirty truck and the crappy cell phone pics....

looks almost a full inch short of their table. Maybe on an 8" wide rim as they say the tested, pumped up to max psi, it balloons up to 32.9"....

I'm also assuming that their measurements are taken when not on a vehicle. I don't think the weight of the truck will squish it down that far, but another area of difference possibly.

And possibly, your tape is stretched out not providing accurate results...

From the picture it looks like you're not looking at it level with the tire and not squatting to look at it level. Looks more like 31 1/2" if looking at it level.

Thanks SlavO,

Yeah seems all tire mfgrs are a little less than they state. On the toyo site it says 33" inflated so I'm assuming that's mounted at max psi but not on the truck. Hard to believe they would compress that much but my 275-60-20's measure right around 32" as well, give or take about 1/4 inch.

what was the mileage with the stock tires? I'm looking at these and the cooper zeons and man that looks like a heck of hit to MPG.

With winter temperatures already here I've been getting bad miles per tank but I do drive fast kinda i had the tires 3 days after i put the tires on so ive no clue... if you keep the rpm's under 2000 rpm. U should be able to get over 16 or 17mpg about 1500 miles onthis trip meter/last oil change.

And its like a $8 hit so i really don't care one bit. But i understand some people do. Its a life style. I already want bigger tires and a real lift lol.
