Got some new tires 285/75/17

Had 285/70/17 El cheapo Chinese m/t on just to see fitment and if I liked bigger tires. They chunked a few lugs and split some but where still drivable. They also started bumpy ride and became super loud about 20k miles on them. So I decided to get sone nitto ridge grapplers 285 /75/17 love them. Check them out.

 

Looking bad ass.

 

Very nice. Looks good

 

I’ve been happy with my Nitto RG’s. Nice having a tire that you don’t have to sweat driving over sharp rocks.

 

@Ctreg great size choice

 

Are you running any wheel spacers?

 

I have the Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 2018. Good tires.

 

I love how 4runners look on this tire size. Are you using spacers on the stock wheels, or just stock.

 

Any steering wheel shimmy?

I want to 285/70-17 KO3s this year and have had a hell of a time with steering wheel shake. (another thread here).

Having not run enough different sets of tires on this truck I can't determine how much of the issue is due to the tires versus the truck just having sensitive steering and front suspension.

Thanks,

It's the tires & balancing. KO2's have been known to exhibit balancing issues. It's been discussed in multiple threads.

I personally went through multiple sets of KO2's that wouldn't balance, to the point where I felt there was something wrong with the vehicle.

Switched to Toyo's that balanced easy and haven't had an issue since.

 

What size lift? Wheel spacers? Pictures from front or rear please

 

I'm familiar . . . and I've posted in those threads ;-0

Just collecting anecdata here.

Seeing if anyone has found steering overly sensitive to balancing as compared to other vehicles.

Thanks,
Jason
