Can I see your 275/70r18 please.

What!? Is this the only A/T tire in this size that isn't LT? Been hoping for an SL 275/70/18

 

I don't know if this is the only one, but just happened to come across it while searching. It is a 4-ply, 46lb tire versus the 10-ply, 60lb E load.

 

How do you like the 6112's compared to stock suspension for on/off road ride and handling.
Just into a 2021 Sport and although decent in the corners it's a little on the harsher side. I'm looking at options and would be interested in how the Bilstein's compare to Toytech, the Fox Pro offroad, or Elka as I'd be looking at a 2.5 body non resi for the upgrade.
Had Fox 2.0 on my F150 which were ok and another lower priced option.

 

I installed the 5100's which is the extra step of disassembly of my original in my garage with a spring compressor. the spring compressor I was a little nervous about but was super easy. A little bit of a pain but I dropped the lower control arm and pulled out that way, was pretty easy

 

Great tires, no road noise

 

I know this is a tire thread, but what did you do to the cover the chrome on the door handles? I need to do something, not ready to spend the coin on replacement handles for the smart key entry feature.

 

whats under the cover tho? looks like a Mclaren

 

I also wasn't ready to spend $500+ for color matched smart key handles so I just ended up using plastidip. For the rear door handles, I ended up removing them entirely from the truck to tape and spray. For the front handles, I left the handles on because I didn't want to take apart the door to unplug the smart sensor and just taped and sprayed in place.

 

My reasons exactly, I'm not in the mood to remove the door panels on a brand new truck. I'll probably pastidip the handles but I did consider replacing the rear ones because its easier. But my OCD will get to me knowing the rear replacement won't match the plastidip fronts. How is your plastidip holding up?

 

I actually like how the handles look with the green and matte black plastidip. I only put it on a few weeks ago, but had plastidipped handles on my 4Runner for years and they held up great. For high usage areas, I will usually do a lot of thin coats - it seems to work pretty well.

 

I had these ST MAXX mounted today...I'm happy when comparing what I had prior!

Made the 12" of snow we got less workto drive in!

 

stock suspension?

 

Falcon...I'm up ~1" up front front - you might note a slight slump in the rear...I have 600lbs of tube sand in there and need to click the rear Falcons to level 2 this winter...steroidal traction is key!

 

Front 1.9 bilstein 6112. Rear toytech 1.5 shackles. PRO wheels. Just a perfect stance IMHO. Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT. I'd certainly recommend the Coopers as well. Excellent tire. Fairly aggressive but rides smoothly and quiet.

 

SO EXCITED!!! I’m having 275/70R18 AT3 XLT’s mounted tomorrow am. $1100 installed, seams reasonable in today’s world. Camping this weekend, but will post picks next week. Stock 2020 SR5, hopefully they don’t rub. I’m also trying to lock down 5100’s set at 2.5" from @kenny1794…fingers crossed.

 

they will not rub with stock wheels and stock suspension. enjoy!

 

Thanks for the info. Still looking forward to leveling with the 5100’s. I guess there are worse additions then Tundra mods…right?

Alright here they are. 275/70R18 XLT’s. Pretty much had them installed and towed to camp. Between the Cooper’s on the truck and the new Endurance on the trailer it tied like a dream. The stock Michelin’s had too soft of a side wall. The Cooper’s ride much softer than I thought they would for 10 plys. Very happy with the set up so far.

 

I also just got these tires, they are the stock tires for the new F 150 tremor. They look great and big and yet are like 46 lbs a pop. About 1 mpg hit around town. The other sl looking. Know of is the Grabbber APT, but that tire is mild looking.

 

Not sure about around town yet. I was getting about 10 mpg towing now I’m down to 9 mpg on this first trip with them. Well worth the loss for looks and towing benefits, IMO.

 

Better light:

 

What side steps do you have? We tow a grand design camper with our tundra as well!

Truck is factory running boards, camper has the fold up as it’s a ‘19. I wasn’t sure WiFi he you were asking about. I like the new style on campers, but didn’t want to wait for a new model. They’re shitting them out so fast right now , I’m not sure if quality is keeping up.

 

Just put the AT3’s on a few hours ago they are 275 70 r18 it’s a 2020 with the ready lift 3/1.. so far so good

 

Has anyone had rubbing issues with 275/70R18's on a 3/1 lift with adjustable UCAs? The shop that did the install had the right front wheel buried into the front bumper, when I took it back to them to double check the alignment all they did was start trimming. Anyone else have issues like this or is this alignment shop the issue?

 

I have not had any rubbing issues. I have turned the wheel hard in both directions going up my drive way and down while turning the wheel.. Before I bought the tires my passenger side LCA bolts were loose. I was getting some bad clicking sounds when cutting the wheel while parking. I tightened them. The casters moved my arm moved but my steering wheel straightened out and it drives straight on the highway... That might be it maybe have the casters turned so the wheel is farther out.

 

What gear ratio is ur truck? If you have the 4.10 ratio bigger tires will put more of a strain on ur transmission than if you have the 4.30 ratio and you will see a bigger decrease in mpg. You can always put in new gears to fix that though and get 4.88 or 5.29 depending on how big ur tires are and what you do. After i put 35s on my truck my speedometer is now off by 5miles once i go over 45 mph.
