What's the biggest i can go with a level kit ? I'm on fuel wheels that have a nice offset that poke out of the fenders about and inch, maybe more..
Do they make these in a 285 75 18 ? Or just 285 70 ?
Been going back and forth between duratracs and ko2 but I really like the look and price of these falkens
To the guys talking about change in mpgs: Are you calculating for speedo error? I see some saying a loss of x.x mpgs but don't know if you are comparing to the same size tire...
I hand calculate my mileage using fuelly.com. What I noticed was that on stock tires my MPG meter was optimistic and with 285/70-17 tires it's spot-on. Like, it's within 0.0 to 0.2 MPG of being correct with hand calculations each time. I also verify with GPS.
When you go to a larger, heavier, more aggressive tire the laws of physics say that you will not get the same MPGs ever again. It's impossible.
Just ordered a set in my stock tire size 275/65r18. Discount Tire had them at $161/tire and a $75 rebate on top because it's Labor Day weekend. Can't wait to have them installed next week.
My current tires are the stock wranglers with about 47k miles. I probably could go a little longer, but they are almost 5 years old, have had numerous patches, and the price this weekend on the AT3Ws was too good to pass up.
When I first started looking at new tires (oh about 10k miles ago), I thought I really wanted load range C Goodyear All Terrain Adventures. But I think a P rated AT3W will give me a better balance of tough and not being too heavy.
Got mine mounted today. They're definitely heavier than my old Michelins. Takes a bit more acceleration to get them moving, but they look great! Looking forward to rough conditions with them.
They are definitely a heavy tire. I've lost 1.5-2mpg after replacing my old BFG KO's with these, but I do like them. I'll see how the highway mileage is next month when I drive the truck to Houston to deliver some of my son's stuff that he couldn't take when he moved there.
Do you guys think these would be good on a 2001 ford ranger 15 inch. The largest size I have on my sons truck now is 235 75 15, its a supercab 2 wd. I thought about a 255 70 15, but it may be too wide. I am looking at grabber AT2's and mastercraft axt's also. General was running a 70 dollar visa through Walmart, but the 235 75 15 grabber comes only as a LT rated tire and is $120 a piece and the others are about $98 in that same size. What do you all think? I have the mastercrafts on mine and love them, but my truck is a f150. Those falkens look great by the way.
