275/70 R18 Tires and Thoughts on 10 ply?

Anyone Running 275/70 R18 Tires and Thoughts on 10 ply?

Does it make it rougher riding?

I'm looking at a tire however they only offer in LT and 275/70 18

Any pictures of truck would be helpful

 

I'm running this size in 10ply on my '24 SR5 TRD OR and have found it depends on the tire model. Summer tire is a general grabber a/tx and in the winter I'm running studded nokians. I keep tires between 30-35psi as the temperatures vary, and find that the general's obviously have a bit more road noise, but they are a bit (but noticeable) smoother ride, both on and off road. I only ran the stock tires for <20km so I can't really compare to those

 

I'll throw this out there. Take it for what it's worth.
I'm only sorta close at 285/75/18 which is nearly 35". They are 10-ply / E-load.
Your 275/70's are just over 33's, so quite a difference in sidewall height. Roughly an inch.

Going from my stock 20's 265/60/20 (32.5" high) to these near 35's was a wash from a ride quality standpoint. Definitely not worse at all.

33's aren't much additional sidewall than stock so...... YMMV

 

Rougher compared to what?


Only had 275/70r18 for a day and haven’t noticed any difference in the short drives I’ve had

 

Stiffer Ride with a harder compound rubber

 

Compared to a non-10 ply/E-load tire.

 

The larger size E tire will create a rougher ride for sure. Early on it may feel about the same but as the tire wears a bit there will be some noise and a rougher ride compared to stock tires. Tire quality and tread pattern can come into play as well. It just depends your driving preferences and if you want to sacrifice some ride quality for looks. I personally am okay with a little rougher ride if I am gaining a more aggressive look. It will also affect acceleration a bit with the heavier tire and gas mileage. Things to consider as well.

 

I like my 10 ply Es filled to 65 lbs all around, if I towed all the time I’d have the rears at 80, very rare if I get a nail or screw in my 10 ply’s, I’m on construction sites daily

 

I got a nail/screw in a AT3W on my 4Runner. It would slowwwwwly leak air, only lose 5-7lbs and never anything more. Figured the tire had so much rubber that is was basically sealing it self off when the pressure got to a certain point or something.
