Im gonna be buying a set of 35x12.50r17s and was looking at the toyo m/t and the nitto trail grappler mt but i see they are both load range is will they wear better? Get worse fuel milage?

 

[bthomas]

easiest answer: just use less pressure in the tires

 

[stang9986]

didnt even think of it being a rougher ride with the load range e good point.

Load range E on a light jk = :bounce::bounce::bounce:

Watch your load range E max pressures. Some are 80 psi some are 65 psi. My tire guy said its best not to run less than half the max. 32 psi isn't bad, 40 psi is way to much for a JK.

all of us running humvee 37"s are running E range tires.

I run 25 PSI and its fine

i haven't been able to get a good balance on my e range tires since new. just delt with it and swore to never buy them again.

it could just be my tires though who knows.

oh they are procomp extreme all terrians at 315 75 16

E rated tires are heavy thus have a negative effect on fuel economy due to the higher unsprung mass.
I generally run my Toyo OPMT at 28psi, to get more miles to the gallon on longer distance highway rides 32psi, offroad down to 12-15psi. They balance nicely and too early to tell for me regarding wear.

All 9 of mine have load range D stamped on the side.

x2 for me with my Toyo's. Heavy? Yes. But very round, easy to balance, and drive great.

Fine on road, but offroad toyos don't bag out worth a crap.

Mine have done fine. This is at 15 psi.

Also can't complain, work well on road and off road in the rocks and mud

Toyo's need to be aired down to 10-12 psi, without beadlocks, and about 8 with -- they'll do just fine and will hang, if not outperform, MTR/K's all day long. I run 28 psi on the highway, rotate through all 5 every 4,000 miles, and have 68,000 miles on my 35" Toyo's. They're starting to chuck when I wheel but they've got plenty of miles left. Just make sure you like them before you buy 'cause you'll have them for a while.

Here's a pic from a couple of months ago showing how much tread I still have left.

That's my problem. I have them in 33.5" (295/70/17) and wish that I would have just picked them up in 35's from the beginning! :bawling: I have almost 30k miles on them and they barely look half used!




Who wants to buy a slightly used set of 33.5" Toyo MT's???

 

[rerard2]

I have the e-rated trxxus from interco. Sidewalls don't flex much but I am too lazy to air down anyway, plus with no lift and 33's I need all the clearance I can get. One side benefit of these tires is I got a flat and was still able to drive on the tire, I actually didn't even know it was flat, just thought it was a little low until I checked the pressure.

 

[mwilterink]

I have the trail grapplers and love them...for sure a rougher ride than stock but I run 30psi and it's not bad also they are wearing great for a MT

Merlin knows he goes to the mall Daily with them

 

[Grim jeeper]

I have 37" nitto mt and run them at 30psi I'll be buying them again
