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

Those look awesome!!! Those are what I want, but I'm concerned about the weight. Any seat of the pants difference with acceleration or braking?

I'm on the fence between these and the Cooper AT3 XLT in the same size. The Cooper is less aggressive in appearance, but are 8 pounds lighter.

Anyone put 295/70/18 on a AT4 yet? I'm wondering if they'll fit as have heard the wheel well opening is smaller.....

Honest I wouldn't worry too much about the weight.  I'm running MT Baja MTZs that weight 69 lbs each along with rims that weigh 38 lbs each and my truck still launches with no issue.  I have not really noticed any loss of acceleration quickness

I had seen his truck on fb and also want this tire size on my AT4...i would like the mastercraft m/t as they are 62lbs and 34.25x12.

There is another AT4 here that was running 35x12.5 tires with no leveling kit. Let me see if I can find it.

Okay so here it is.@destrada127 hope you dont mind. So here are the pics from that thread. He was running 35x12.50r20 Accelera MT-01 which according to tire-easy.com they measure out 34.5” tall the width I couldn’t find, on carid.com it also states they are 71lbs. He mentions he trimmed the mudflaps but that it was unnecessary. I believe later on he added a 1.5" leveling kit. On the pic the tire seems to be less than 34.5" but perhaps he can chime in and give us the actual number. 


The red AT4 is my buddy’s with a 5.3 and running 33x12.50r18 he also has no rubbing and those are 12.7” wide however they are much only 33” tall according to tiresize.com the reason i included them is because they are 72.6lbs and his truck came with them from dealer. Buddys at4 mpgs are around 12.5-13 so the weight did hinder his numbers as my stock AT4 5.3 with duratracs 49lbs tires are netting me 15.3-16.2 and we do similar commutes as we leave nearby each other and work together.

 

Link of the thread I took info from. Just in case I forgot something.

Everything written above is accurate. The tires off the rim, unmounted, measured out to 34.5" but after mounting and on the vehicle they measure out to 34" exactly and only 9.5" wide (footprint). The trimming was unnecessary while running the stock wheels, however, I have since upgraded to new wheels 20x9 -12 offset which did require quite a bit of trimming. I was planning on running 37x12.50 with only the 4" rough country lift, but this would only be possible on the factory wheels or +32 offset2c816f9d4008c0ad967315fca875e171.jpg41fb5db307159b2b70c0a8a4aa136dae.jpgf52c106d96274cdb67a1b6d959df3921.jpg8b111d2ab00e7d6853f1204b83fecc40.jpg

Thanks for jumping in @destrada127 

I guess those 295x70r18 (34.3x12) on our AT4's might be too tight. I wanted to order the tires online as the deals our cheaper however I feel that I may need to test fit them instead at a tire shop prior to purchasing. 

 

Your AT4 looks amazing by the way. The leveling kit and front bumper has definitely added to its monstrosity . Love where you added the AT4 emblem on the front.

Arnold and Dustin,

 

Thanks so much for posting so much explanation and pics. I suspect the measurement of that tire only being 34 inches is because it was measured vertically, with the bottom part of the tire being mashed under the weight of the truck. A more accurate measurement would have been horizontally and would likely be the true measurement. As you said, it measured 34.5 prior to installation.

 

Though there wasn't much room to spare, you definitely proved that a 35x12.5 tire could fit, depending on the brand. So, I'm comfortable knowing it can be done.

 

My truck isn't here yet, so still have some time to ponder.

It can be done as long as you're on a stock rim if you do aftermarket rims it becomes much more difficult.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      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.
