I’m 10,000 or so miles from needing new tires(running stock). I’m all over the map on what I want Including size. My tire guy recommends Toyo AT2 but curious about what this thread will turn up.

Did you get a programmer to calibrate for those tires? I’ve been wondering if that is necessary for 34’s.

I have 37,000 miles on them right now and there's still lots of tread depth life still on them. Slightly more than the 6/32", but not much more.

Yes, I purchased a programmer(AEV Procal).

The transmission shift points on our steep road gradients with the 33" required the tow mode on for proper shift points. Witb the 34" it became downright annoying and required the tow mode on and some manually button pressed shifting to the next lower gear. With it reprogrammed I'll hit the tow mode and it does OK again. With the 4.5% to 6% highway grades right out of our private road it still needs to be in a lower gear due to it begins to sound like its struggling.

It's our high elevation of 6,000 feet of up to nearly 11,000 of our highway summit which takes some noticeable power away from the Power Wagon. Think of it like constantly having 2 of those 8 cylinders turned off permanently around here. Even driving some 850 miles to Reno, Nevada on highway 50, I might only drop down to around 4,000 feet. Can't escape losing horsepower due to elevation without an engine modification.

Thanks for info. My tire guy recommend 34’s but if I need a programmer then will go 35’s. I can’t stand a bunch of shifting so I lock the overdrives out when towing even moderate loads like my fiberglass bay boat. I rather burn more gas than have the trans shifting all over the place.

 

[ttusomeone]

Brand: Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Size: 35x12.50
rubbing:None
MPG:Seem unchanged. Maybe even a hair better. Hard to tell as I got them only a few weeks before the lockdown.
Off road performance: If driving through my yard counts, then pretty good.
Wet performance: Seems fine
Highway comfort: My wife thinks they ride better than stock (I agree)
Snow/Ice: I live in Nashville, TN and we didn't get any snow this year
Lift or level Required: None
Tread life: Seems good so far (granted I have only a few hundred miles on them)

I'm running my second set of AT2 on my Power Wagon but honestly If I was getting a new set today I'd go with the Falken Wildpeaks. I'm not overly impressed with the AT2 in snowy conditions. I need 4wd at all times if there's snow on the road.

I was attempting to avoid a programmer too and stay with my 33" to 34" size snow chains. Next set will be 35" Toyo C/T's. Weren't available in the USA until recently.

For what it's worth, my 35x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers measured 34" installed and inflated. I still opted for a speedometer calibrator though (the Rough Country one).

Thanks for all of the reply's! keep them coming!

2012 Power Wagon, Thuren adjustable track bar, Lower Front radius control arms, Pro comp wheels 17”x9” 4 1/2” back space, don’t ask offset don’t know. Milestar Patagonia 37x12.50 - 17”. Typical inner fender trimming for minor rub at flex. I put the PW through every possible pitch and flex that I could imagine to get any rub and trimmed accordingly. No rub at all under Any conditions.

 

[Big Bad Bud]

Here are picks of my new Pro Comp Series 34 18"x9" with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 35"x12.5". Rims are 0 offset with 5" backspace. Had these exact tires on my last 2500 (non-Power Wagon) with over 30k miles and they were awesome. Tread wore great, never cupped, no noise and handled great all around. Also, I ordered a full spare with same rim expecting to have to put it in bed but it actually pulled up in factory spare carrier. Truck is all stock other than wheels/tires.

 

[Bahn112]

Brand: Falken WildPeak AT3W
Size: 35x12.5x17" on Fuel Zephyr 17x9 -12 Offset
rubbing: None (have not had a chance to fully flex suspension)
MPG: ?? Tires/Wheels were installed with under 200 miles on the truck.
Off road performance: Quarantined
Wet performance: Quarantined
Highway comfort: great, quiet
Snow/Ice: Live in Socal and haven't taken it in the mountains
Lift or level Required: N/A
Tread life: only have 400 miles so far
PSI: 55 F&R (cold)

OP; I would suggest adding PSI to your list as this was a common question when I was looking around for fitment, etc.

I'll update this once I put more miles on; that being said I ran the older version of the WildPeak A/T's on my old '13 Jeep Wrangler and they were awesome. Tons of grip offroad, quiet on the highway and were wearing really nicely.
I expect the same from this set.

Ive been running these tires for a little over a year now. I have found a good on road tire pressure is 60 front and 50 rear. The rear end is sooooo much lighter, you can easily have 10 psi or less out back (compared to the front) when unloaded.

nice truck!!!
