Power Wagon Tires - Post Up Your Info

Excuse my poor typing skills, that look is great. What wheels are those and what offset? They look like Method wheels?

Yes, they are Method 305 NV HDs (18x9).

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)

What size rims are these? Thx. Looking at different aftermarket rims and see the ones I like are mostly 20" and I'm looking at doing the Toyo RT 35's with F load rating.

18x9s. They are the HD version of the Method NVs, so they have a higher load rating as well.

Looks good. Thx!

What offset and bolt spacing if possible. I am thinking of the same wheels on my 2018 PW and don't know all the relevant details.

Your truck looks great and stance is nice.

Thanks! They are 8x6.5 bolt pattern, +18 offset, and 5.75" spacing. Here's the link to the wheels:

Brand:. Toyo RT
Size: 35x12.5x18
rubbing: No
MPG: will update - not good
Off road performance: good
Wet performance: good
Highway comfort: good
Snow/Ice: good
Lift or level Required: no
Tread life: 99%
PSI: 65

Thanks to all that provide info, very much appreciated. I went with the Toyo RTs as I had 2 sets prior and was real happy all year round in CO highway/off road. They are on the soft side when it comes to rocks, so I'm careful to not spin them.

I went with the Fuel Beasts and real happy with them. Made the truck look and feel better.

What do you do about the tp sensors? Mine go off if pressure drops below 65 psi.

I just let the truck warn me every time it starts, then get out of the screen. Dosnt really bother me too much.

A little gadget called Tazer. But in the summer I can run a very consistent tire pressure. The really cold nights that will drop it below 50 psi and make you air tires up to 65 psi and start over again most tire sensors will let you air down as low as 50. But if you dip below that you have to air up till the light turns off and then let air out again. I keep about 400-500 in my truck all the time. So I run 60 in the front and 54 in the back and my light is not on.

 

[BRIAN Anderson]

Thanks for the info.

Do you have any problems towing or hauling with the lower tire pressures?

Anything under 4K I don’t bother airing up. But a little heavier I do. I have on board air so it’s easier when I’m not at home.

 

[BRIAN Anderson]

Thanks. Nice setup.

According to tirebuyer.com tire pressure fluctuates approximately 1 PSI for every 10 degree temperature change. If you live within the higher elevations of the Mountain West states on an average day it can be 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit in difference from the morning to mid-afternoon in all seasons. Kinda sucks out here with trying to make the TPMS happy. I ignore the warnings when they go off.




Update...Currently it's 32 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. According to Alexa today's high temperature will be 80 degrees. Too much temperature variation for any TPMS tire pressure settings.

For tire pressures on my 2016 I'm running 35x12.50R17 E-load rated tires with a max 65 psi rating. Currently running 50 psi in the front and it does not trigger the alert, and run 40 psi in the rear and it does trigger the light. The tire shop set all the pressures at 65 psi when they were installed and I then lowered to the 50 and 40 psi mark which made a huge difference in ride quality, and have not noticed any difference in handling. I have towed about 4,000 lb. with it and don't bother adjusting the tire pressure, though when I tow my heavier trailer that is up around 9,000 lbs. I will raise the rear pressure up (but won't touch the front). These tires are rated to carry 3,195 lbs. each at full pressure, so all 4 can support close to 13,000 lbs. which is WAY over the GVWR of a Power Wagon. The load capacity of the tires does change in a close to linear relation ship with the tire pressure (i.e. if you ran half the max psi (32.5 psi) than should be able to handle half of the max weight (1,597 lbs.).

Toyo’s new open country AT3 sure is a good looking tire. Mountain snowflake rated, they offer in an F load 35/12.50r18
