Truck looks awesome! I ordered a 23 Tremor and it arrives this week. I wanted to throw 37's on it as soon as it arrives but I keep reading conflicting information on the fact that you cant run a 37 inch tire on the factory wheels because they're too narrow. Is it a non issue?
You’d probably be fine but running a tall 12.50 on an 8” wheel you run the risk of popping a bead off road or even on road with hard cornering a lot of tire shops won’t mount a 12.50 on an 8” wide wheel for that exact reason
I’ve got 37x13.50r18 on stock 8” wheels. As stated above, big box shops will not touch it. However, most local mom n pops shops will. And I wouldn’t be concerned with blowing a bead. Matter of fact, back in the day, wide tires on skinny wheels were commonly referred to as poor man beadlocks!
All the F ing way!
I'd seen enough trucks on here, other forums, fbook etc over the years with guys running 12.50-13.50 wides on 8" wheels and heard of nearly zero first hand issues so I wasn't too concerned. Nitto actually has this tire listed as approved for 8" wide wheels too.
Very nice!
I would do tires and wheels and sell your OEM set up - you will get good $$ for them offsetting all or most of your new purchase. OEM tires won't bring you much by themselves!
Thank you!
So, as a primer, Toyo AT3s have been my favorite dual duty tire for a long time. Ive had BFGs, MTs, Kendas, Wildpeak AT3S', which were great, but did not last anywhere near the 40K they were suppose to and my FJ is currently on 37" Cooper STTs' which are a great mud tire and would definitely buy again. I like the X-ATs for driveability; on road traction and wet pavement handling are both awesome. The side walls are thick, nice rim protection, a little noiser than I expected, but I like a little sing. My ONE negative....it is a gravel catching and throwing tread. My Toyos and Falkens never grabbed gravel and held it like this tread does. The tread face is also more rounded fully aired than the others as well' so air pressure by calc or chalking/tracking is important in getting the best ride and wear life. Ill say this, It was 117° in Killen when I was there and the TP only increase by 2lbs when driving. I would buy them again if I could find them at the same price (380 ea). If the price point were higher, I would go back to a 12.50w Kenda 37.
I didn't answer the Duratrac question.....million percent better in all aspects over the GY. Wider tire really improved steering feel and ride.
Case in point:
I concur. There is a hum, but very slight.
Do you have any rubbing on radius arms? I’m debating 5 or 5.5 backspace
is that stock suspension and no rub by chance ?
