Hi, new to forum as I have a 22 PW on order and searching for best tire and wheel upgrade when it arrives. The 315/70r18 (36”x13”) Toyo seems to be perfect balance of a little larger than 35” but maybe fit better with less rub/trim needed then going 37s. Can you please let me know your wheel offset (I’m thinking of +18) and if you have any rubbing or had to trim?
I ordered a set of those Klever RTs in 10.5 for my PW but they got me the 12.5s instead.
I'm over 50 myself. I Run 35's on Stock PW Wheels, no Spacers. They don't stick out, or Rub. I don't like the Sticking out look either . Remember . These Trucks weigh in excess of 7,000#. They Aren't going to Hydroplane as easily as a 1/2 Ton. That said . If I ever have to mount Chains. I have enough Room with 35's . They seem to be the perfect Compromise for me. As somebody already said: Any Tire Choice is a Compromise. What you gain in one area. You will give up in another. There's no getting around Physics. The best tire for you. Is the Tire that best Serves your Purpose.I thought about putting 35x 12.5's on my new 2020 PW, but ended up going with 285/75R17 Trail Grapplers. Pretty much an inch taller than stock size. I personally like the look. I see a lot of trucks in my area with big 35"+ tires that stick out past the fenders. They kinda look like giant skateboards and 90% of them look like they never have been off-road. I understand the younger guys liking the look, but I see a lot of guys my age(50) with them as well. Am I the only one that likes the tall skinnier tire look that don't stick out? I also like the fact the 11.5's seem to cut through water a little better for a less floaty feel. Is this just a fashion statement? Thoughts? FO?
yup very little difference here are Toyo at2's in 285/75-17 and 35x12.5-17 I ran both flavors on my jeeps. they make a cooper at3 in 285/70-17 look small the 35 is in the middle.
I have been looking high an low and can not find them in stock. perfect winter tire on stock wheels.
Its crazy, that going by the numbers the 285 should be over an inch skinnier but close to the same height. Sure dosnt look that way…at least with toyo at2’s.
Well just because that tire shortage dosnt effect us (whatever it is, i havnt read it), dosnt mean it isnt hard getting certain tires. Just bought a set of rubber for the old ladies ride…hand to compromise and get something else because what we originally wanted was on national backorder.The national tire shortage which was announced on January 6th doesn't impact the US made tires. You need to look much higher and lower.
National tire shortage leads to concerns about slilppery winter roads
Supply chains woes are not over just yet. A national tire shortage is making those winter roads harder to navigate.www.wdtn.com
not sure what tires that guy is getting but i promise you not Mickey Thompson in 255/85-17 lol. Tough to find any big toyos in stock either.The national tire shortage which was announced on January 6th doesn't impact the US made tires. You need to look much higher and lower.

The offset is whatever the method 305 HD is. I think it was 18. There is a small amount of rubbing, but nothing that bothers me lol.
I emailed them but that looks like an internet type place that tells you they have things that they don't actually have, they even say they are just an internet retailer ie reseller. i never have had much luck going that route.Try this for the Mickey Thompson 255 85R17 Baja Boss.
