OK, so I'm taking the plunge and getting my Revo's this week. I am ordering and should have it this week. I will be fitting it at Amrerica's tire in Gilroy CA.

So now to the heading of the thread, the Dunlops will be coming off. It has 19K miles on it and still looks pretty good. I will also be changing the spare which has done 0 miles. SO if you are in the Bay Area and come by Gilroy sometime this week let me know and you can get my old Dunlops AT 20 for free. No sense in giving it to a store when a fellow Toy owner might use them. The size is 265/65/17, so if you have truck that you also use as a daily driver you might want to get the Dunlops for everyday use and use more agressive wheels and tires when you go on trails.

I am too lazy to keep two sets of wheels for my Runner.

So again 5 265/65/17 Dunlop AT 20's with 1 at 0 miles and 4 at 19k miles.
This week in Gilroy CA. FREE!!! I will be doing it at America's Tire in Gilroy. I will finalize with them tomorrow for when I will get my Revo's, so let me know quickly.

i feel stupid only have 3K miles on my truck. heh..

bulldog-yota

You should drive it as well, not just modding and washing

turboale

You won't be feeling stupid when and IF you ever decide to sell it...

r0cky

Well, the fun part is, looks like some of us DFW'ers will be getting together to go wheeling soon, so that should help me put a few more miles on it.

And, I don't plan on selling it ... maybe the wheels and tires eventually, but this rig is my baby now.

OK back to topic, anybody interested in the tires??

EDGE

damn you guys are fast I already have the dunlops and so far their OK tires don't know if I would want another set but I also live in NY sooooooo, how is the wear on the outside edges of the tires, mine still have good tread after 15k but the outsides edges are worn from cornering I guess

Bulldog,

What size tires are you going with? Post some pics when you're done.

bulldog-yota

The wear on mine is still pretty good, the edges are fine. I dont drag race my Runner I'll post pic of tires. But shipping to NY will prob cost more than they are worth.


timber, I'm going for 265/70/17 (32"). I dont want ewnything too big or agressive as it will mostly be used on the road. Just need to fill the fenders a bit and get far better traction off road than with the Dunlops. Hope I dont loose anything on road, but from what I have heard and read I should be fine.

EDGE

Not worth it to ship them, Im looking into some Yokohama Geolandar AT+II tires, gonna get them in 265/70 R17

How does the Truck feel with the lift and X-Reas

timber725

Good idea,

I am thinking about 275s instead. There is not a sig diff between the two, but the amount of rubbing will prob be less. Plus, I may save on gas.

<sigh>

I like the lift, the handling still pretty much feels the same. It does feel a little softer over speedbumps. I noticed the bumpstops seem to work overtime in the front. I tried a few corners hard, and it did show an interesting sign. The rear seem to lean in a bit more than the front, which actually helps to power through a corner. SO when going hard it doesn't seem to have the nose going in any more, which to me is a good thing.

Here is links to pics

thread depth it's a quarter so about 1/4" left

WHat tires are you going for Revo's? 275 on 16s or 17s 65/70/75?

SOme guys have the 265/70/17 with no lift and report no rubbing, you are thinking 285 though right?

r0cky

i think he's thinking of 275's ... they are close to the size of 285's, but a bit smaller. i'm going for the 275s also.

BajaRunner

Whats up..

Im in Santa Cruz... pretty close!

I dont need the tires, but, sheesh... Awsome deal... Free is good

bulldog-yota

I was talking about rubbing more, as the 265's shouldn't rub. 285 will probably even with a lift, dont know about 275's.

bulldog-yota

Well if you want them let me know, I will probably get them fitted on Wednesday. They are 17" so on your you'll need different wheels.
