This is helpful. What’s nuts to me is every range I see is different.

Stupid question - does turning radius suffer more from width or diameter

I did not notice much difference going from 275s to 285s. It might also have to do with the fact that the 285/75/17 Falkens are monster heavy tires.

Really? Even for the dealerships ?

Why are all the alignment ranges different even on the same year and trim? Even from one dealer to the next the ranges are different. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the true range for your specific truck? I want to get my alignment checked at my off-road shop and I’d like to give...

It is a complex question for sure, but your absolutist statement about narrower always being better in wet is not true. Otherwise a bicycle tire width tire would be the best in wet. We can talk about the right balancing point but you’re not interested in a discussion (or it doesn’t seem like...

Hydroplaning and wet weather grip are two different things. Falken actually made all their tires a tad wider than spec in the AT4 for added wet weather grip. No idea how you’re making any assumptions about my driving speed. It rains a lot in Houston so added lateral grip is always helpful...

Pay the $300

But for both you remove the crash plates right

Well said. Agreed on all counts. 275/70/18 is indeed a great size for 18” wheels but one should try to find them in 33.4” versus the more common 33.2” diameter.

Finally the counterpoint that I’ve been unable to articulate — I’ll also say that wet weather driving - which we’ve got a ton of in south Texas - is WAY superior with wider tires. Wider tires are also better if you DO NOT plan to air down all the time off-road - I love my 285s including how...

Interesting - I wonder if it was just a few bad batches at their fab shop

That actually looks great. I am worried because there’s a thread that shows these racks from uptop rusting. What’s your experience with rust?

Man, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s super annoying.

Oh man… I wonder what Mike from LLOD would say. Maybe he hasn’t seen this or doesn’t care.

So, after dropping 4 figures on our product you need to make sure you prevent it from rusting with your own solutions … nah I’m good

I guess south Texas is not allowed to have roof or bed racks lol.

Enough for me to stay away. I don’t even really “need” a bed rack. I just want something to attach jerrycans to and maybe a traxisboard without consuming bed space. Plus it just looks cool. And I’ve got the diamondback bed cover so this seemed to be a good option. I’ll need to go back to...

Humidity! lol. I’m in Houston. Guess I’m not getting this rack. It’s only for the mountains I suppose.

How did it turn out ?? I’m thinking of buying the diamondback compatible mid height bed rack truss
