After going back and forth between 295/70r18s and 275/70r18s I finally pulled the trigger and went with 295/70's in a Cooper AT3 XLT, happy with the decision.

Looks nice!!! I ready to take my truck into my buddy’s shop and get some tires of same size put on. Reminds, I’ll have to do a before and after pic.

 

Any modifications like trimming or lift?

Had my friend mount some Toyo Open Country RTs 295/70/18s. They look great! Feels and sounds better than the stock Goodyear Duratracs.

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

Question about the tires…Are they noticeably taller than the stock Duratracs?  How’s the ride, any complaints?  I have an appointment to get the same thing installed tomorrow.  Beginning to have second thoughts about not going with a bigger size, but I’ve always had good luck with the KO2s.

I was able to fit 295/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock wheels. No rubbing what’s so over. They fit perfectly.

Don't know if you're still following this, but this looks great.  How is it with the Ridge Grapplers and the 295s on stock left and rims?  Any problems?  No rubbing, not even in reverse? It almost looks like it has been leveled.

Anyone had success with running a 295/70R18 with 18x9 0 offset wheels on stock suspension Trail Boss? Would prefer no rub, and I’m cool with doing mud flap mod/mild trimming. Thanks!

Yeah I ran the Method 309s 18x9 zero offset with Falken Wildpeaks 295/70/18 and all that was rubbing was the mudflap so I took it off. But now I have a level kit as well just to make it look even.

Put on Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 295/70R18 on the stock wheels the other day.  Look great and are really aggressive, which I like... Put they do rub just ever so slightly at full lock.  And that's leveled and with 1.25" spacers.

Since this thread is old any chance you can update how the noise level is? Especially if you can compare to the Duratracs.

    • Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.
    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
