18" wheel Tires

[ryan-in-oregon]

ryan, i take it you are going to bump up in size then to the 275/65/18?

Yes most likely.

 

[Mack73]

I wish there was a more aggressive 265/65 than the BFG's

Here's hoping

And costs less than $200 a tire.

Choice 1
Nitto Terra Grappler LT285/60R18 E125R Part # 200-880 31.5" diameter
tread depth 15.6 32nds
Choice 2
Nitto Terra Grappler LT285/60R18 E120S Part # 200-410 31.38" diameter
tread depth 13.6 32nds

I've run 2 sets of #2 and 1 set of #1, good stuff. NO Flats, no ruined tires. Hold up well because they have a lot of plies, 8-12 I believe, with also helps in desert cactus and thorns.

Johnson Rods Tire

Best off road tire period is the Good Year MTR with kevlar:

Sorry, here is the correct pic of the MTR with kevlar

Had them. Replaced them with Cooper Zenon's. The TGs were great off road and ok on road. Very loud, very hard to balance and I only got about 20K out of them...yes I had regular alignments, yes I ran the rod mod full-time.

3K in to the Coopers, so far very quiet. Good off road, good in mud, but I haven't pushed them yet.

I had the Silent Armors for a year and they were good for most applications. Eventually I went to the BFG TKO because my offroading took on a more extreme life and I was blowing the SA sidewalls to much and sid by side on the exact same outfitted LR3 the BFGs general had better traction in mud and other rocky situations we see in SoCal.

What tire pressure did you find was the best for the GY SA? I just put a set on my 06 LR3 and have been playing with the pressure. Thanks in advance.

@Johnson Rods: You hype the Kevlars then show a pic of the conventional MT/Rs.

Agreed the Kevlars look mean, but the load rating is what keeps people from jumping on the wagon.

I run the C load range Cooper STTs with no problems(knock on wood) thus far...
