My back no longer hurts when I exit the vehicle. The only downside is that the Jeep with its minivan engine and the big tires still got better has mileage than the truck.

Ayric LOVE the platinum! Okay maybe you guys can help me figure this out: I would love my plat to look like this (wanted this color, but I'm plenty happy with the Tux Black!)..I am looking at the Terra Grapplers (I HATE the stock Pirelli Scorpions..went bald at 30,000). I just don't know how you figure out how many inches a tire is..Stock tires are 275/55/20, so how do you figure how many inches that is?

My logic was 275mm = 10.82".....55% of 10.82" = 5.95".....Multiply 5.95" x 2 for the tire height on either side of the wheel = 11.9".....11.9" + 20" wheel = 31.9" total inches.

So does my math sound right? I haven't had the opportunity to measure my tire yet honestly.

Long story short is, I want a bigger tire on my platinum, but I don't have the resources for a leveling kit yet. Ayric, do you have the numbers on the side of your tire? I'd love to know exactly which Terra Grappler tire this is and if I can fit it on my Platinum stock? Appreciate your input!
