Anyone in California have 285 70 18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Does anyone have new 285 70 18 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires and wish they would have got 295 70 18?

 

I have 275 65 18 that I'll trade you.

 

I went from that size to this

 

I had 275 65 18 toyo at2s for 3 months and went to this size 295 70 18

 

I have 285/70/18 and will probably go 295 next time. I'm running a bit of a sketchy offset (+0) so I wanted to make sure fit would work.

 

295 is perfect size out of the 2 imo

 

I agree they look bad ass but fuel mpg sucks .....lol.....so has anyone gone from 285 70 18 to 295 70 18 and noticed the difference if so how much mpg is it?

 

I don't think much difference between both as far as mpg. I went from 33x12.5/18 to 295/70/18 (pretty much a skinny 35") and mpg is about the same.

 

Have you re geared?

 

nope. I don't feel the need.

 

You dont get the down shift on highway when going up a slight little hill......or any kind of down shifting?

 

Ordered some 285s as well, thinking of the 295s, any issues with rubbing?

 

I did fender trimming and also did BMC

 

What type tire pressure are you running? 40-50? Thanks

 

35 psi

 

Figured, my tire guy is saying to run 50-60. Told him that’s quite a bit for a Tundra Crew Max. Never ran anything near 50

 

Most guys here keep it under 40 psi unless towing

 

One thing with those 285/70/18, Nitto's website said they are only like 59 lbs, I think about 10 lbs less per tire. Not saying that you would gain a ton of MPG back, but 10 lbs per tire I think would at least help some.

 

i have the 295/70/18 RGs. love them. i run 38psi. I drive very conservatively and my MPGs went from 14.5 to 14.3 but i've only put like 800 miles on em. I did see that the 285s were 10lbs less per tire but discount gave me a smokin deal on the 295s so i went with those. I have 3/1 ready lift. Removed front mud flaps and cut the liner.

 

Nice truck!
