Let’s see pics stock height Pro with 295/70r18

How much damage do we think the rubbing of the Wildpeaks is causing on the sway bar? Long term? Just visual? Or any stress one would be concerned with long term?

 

Not enough for me to worry about it.
Every morning, I back up with a full wheel turn to the right to back out of my parking spot. This is the front right side of my sway bar... there’s a small rub spot and a speck of paint that’s worn.


on the passenger side, nothing.

 

Awesome. Thank you

 

So Discount Tire won’t Install 295/70/18 because “they don’t fit”. Where are y’all going to get them installed?

 

Discount Tire here had no issues with installing mine. Gave me a hell of a deal too - price matched an out-of-stock Walmart ad from a cached Google search and cut half the price off the extended warranty certificates. And they had them in stock (I was planning on having to order them to the local store) and put them on that evening (stayed open an extra half hour to do it).

 

Wow. Congrats

 

I have no complaints about my 295 falkens. Yes the rub swaybar at full lock, but barely. It's never been an issue for me though. How many times are you turning full lock, just turn back a hair and your good.

 

Discount Tire installed mine and did a great job. $1040 OTD.

 

Called another store and they will do it.
Here is my last question before pulling the trigger. I have no clue how many miles y’all drive. In a normal non-covid year I’m a 40k-45k miles/year guy. It really is my mobile office. This past year only like 25k miles. That said would any of you fear the amount of rubbing that these 295/70/19 put in sway bars with that much driving? Obviously it only contacts at full lock but one wound deduce more locks with more driving. Anyway, any reason not to with that many miles a year? Or I’m worrying about nothing?
Thanks.

 

I’m 25-30k a year. Not worried about it. You’ll be replacing them in just over a year with that kind of mileage anyway.

 

Not worried about the tires more so the sway bar.

 

Sorry. Yeah, I figure that even with that kind of miles I wouldn’t be worried about it. You’ll be wearing faster, but that’s like anything else on the truck. You’ll also have ample opportunity to inspect it as well.
If you’re putting those sort of miles on the truck, I’m also willing to bet you aren’t city driving all those miles, so you’re probably not doing as many hard full-stop turns either.
And hey, if the bar starts to wear too much for your comfort, replace it with the TRD front sway bar.

 

ha yeah. Yes when I’m racking up that many miles it’s a lot of highway mikes and hotel parking lots. So probably not a lot of full lock situations.

 

Dang, just saw that the TSS May have issues once you switch out the tires? Are all of you that moved to 295s experiencing this?
Any issues with TSS

 

No issues at all with the tss, I also drive about 40-45k a year all highway and have no issues with tire and I haven’t had any issues with rubbing at all. You may be overthinking it a bit bud.

 

Hope so. Thank for the info.

 

The only “issue” I can think of is your cruise settings and speedo not being accurate because of the tire size change.

lots of people with TSS and bigger tires not having problems.

 

Order placed for Wildpeaks 295/70/18. Here is to hoping!

 

Anyone have aftermarket UCA with this setup?(295 with PRO bbs wheels) wondering about clearance compared to oem UCA

 

Don’t your Falken’s clear the stock UCA? How close are they?

 

Yea they clear, was just wondering if they will clear an aftermarket UCA also. Just curiosity

 

Got the Wildpeaks today and they look great. Looking forward to see how they are in wet as my Nitto Ridge Grapplers looked the Best, imo, but were not great in wet weather and in wet pavement.


2 things:

1) when you hit a pot hole or something on the ride, these 295s sound way different. Almost like “oh shite” at first. Totally different than stocks. (Also my firs time with this big a tire. Had 275/75/18 on my Titan)

2) discount tire told me to air them at 35 psi. I had read several here say because they are 10 ply and so on they needed to be 40psi or better. I asked them specifically and they told me the manufacturer recommended 30 but based off what listed in the tundra and these tires 35 should be perfect.
Thought?

 

I run 35 psi on mine and no wear issues.

 

I’m running ~37psi cold (they warm up to about 40 by the time I get to work). 3300 miles and running great so far.

 

40 psi F&R. Working well. Ayla approved.

 

I run 40-42 in mine

 

Toyo ATIII installed this week. The previous owner must have pulled the front flap. So it might have rubbed there. I'm not sure. No rub. Love the look.
I have a pedal commander that was set at sport 2 with the old tires and was a little touchy sometimes. With the new shoes I can tell the difference from the weight but it works. Smoothed out the touchiness at that setting. Speedo is a couple miles off at 70. I was contemplating getting Bora 1" spacers just from reading the comments here, but I have about 3/4 inch clearance. 40psi. Don't know the hit I'll take in fuel yet. Was going to try and get a feel for it with a little road trip this afternoon but can't get away from work early today.

 

Yours is a great looking truck

 

Thanks

 

295/70R18 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 with 1.25inch Spidertrax spacers. Having slight rubbing at full lock but nothing a heat gun and some elbow grease won’t fix.
