Need advice on LR4 20 inch wheel tire options

[ProTonez]

I'm on 275/55 with rods and a VERY faint rubbing at near full lock. Haven't decided if it's even worth trimming at this point.

 

[ProTonez]

XxBlack can you keep the rods on full time? What size rods did you get?

@ProTonez Hmm, that's odd. Mine have been very comfortable and vibration-free. They ride extremely well and smoothly compared to many other all-terrain tires on the market, which was one of the key reasons I bought them (especially considering the 285 width).

 

[ProTonez]

I heard that as well. There are more good reviews than bad.

What about my other question about a tire shop vs the dealer install. You think I would be ok?

 

[crash1121]

Ah, I must've overlooked that, sorry. Reputable tire shops are perfectly fine. I actually refuse to go to the dealer for any tire related stuff, simply because my local tire shop is excellent and charges much less. I'd just ensure that your tire shop has/uses a touchless tire mount machine.

The TPMS system isn't all that sensitive, so I wouldn't be worried about TPMS issues. The tire pressure indicator may come on after they're mounted, but that'll disappear shortly after driving down the road.

Thanks Crash,

I'm going to go for the Grappler G2 for sho. I'm still mulling over the 265 or 285 just because i never did this before and don't want to fudge things up. I will inquire about the touchless mounting machine as well. I will keep you posted (no pun intended). Thanks again!

You can probably go up to around a 31 or 31.5" diameter without rubbing. The wider the tire, the closer to 31 you'll need to go.

A "lift" is not required with either.

Ryanji, would you know how to establish this more precisely? There is this chart that helps (below) but it doesn’t account for tyre width, and it doesn’t contain any tyre that would fit on a 18” but have a diameter of 31”...

I think what I’m really looking for is a 275/60/18 or even better a 255/65/18 tyre to put on Compomotives PD1881. AT or MT?

I almost bought this truck, drove it twice! Sweet ride! I ended up getting a 2013 that only has 29k miles and is getting delivered Tuesday or Wednesday next week. We should try to meet up and do a little trail riding once I get the lift and tires put on.

My truck with the 265/50/20 terra grappler G2's. Not much of difference but still look great!
