275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

Me too!

There was a guy on the Facebook page running this size. He says there is no rub, no modification.

The only ones I could find in a standard load are Nitto’s. Anyone find anything different? I don’t really want to run a 10 ply tire.

I'm also wondering about this on the factory 18" wheels on an AT4.

I know some running 33.5x12.5 which is a 305 65 r18 that size usually runs in k02, mastercraft, or ridge grapplers.

My AT4 hasn't been delivered yet (getting the 18 inch rims), but have been investigating this also.

The best 2 looking 295/70/18's are the Nitto Ridge (34.29 diameter, 69 pounds) and the Cooper AT3 XLT (34.25 diameter, 61 pounds).

I have not seen the Coopers in person, and I'm concerned that they are not near as aggressive looking as the Nittos.

My other concern is the weight of the Nittos.

Like everyone else though, my main concern is if they will fit without modification or rubbing.

 

For those reasons, I'll likely go with the Nitto Ridge in the 285/70/18 - 33.98 inch diameter and 59.9 pounds

 

I'm still trolling for info/pics of AT4/TB with the 295/70/18's while I wait though...

Keep in mind that the AT4 wheel wells are slightly smaller than the Trail Boss since they are more squared off.  One of the lift kits available even mentions that the AT4 cant run as big of a tire as a Trail Boss.  I am running 33.5sx12.5 on a stock height Trail Boss and they do rub but it's only very slightly.  If u are keeping the stock wheels, u should be fine though

11.7 vs 12.5 wide will be a big difference. I'm waiting to hear more on this my self.

Yep, will be keeping the stock 18 inch rims.

 

the Nitto Terra Grappler is much less aggressive, that’s why so much lighter than the Ridge Grappler

 

the Arturo’s on that black TB above are 34.6 inches diameter and 11.5 wide per the Arturo website

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
