I'm running 315's
I could not pass up 4 315 Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers with 14/32 (out of 17/32 new) for $200, so I got them. I mounted them on a set of black steel wheels I already owned. So far they actually ride very nice on the street, I don't mind the extra noise and I actually like the more agressive look. The only rubbing I have on the street is on the frame when turned to full lock, the wheels are 8" with 4 3/8" BS. The rubbing is kind of annoying, I like the Toyota turning radius and that is shot. I haven't taken them off road yet.

daaang jim. that looks badA$$. now thats what the black steelies look is all about. nice score on the tread! theres a set of 315 MT/R's here locally, and im so tempted grab em. but im only on 4.30's ladymatic, so i think id need to regear.
youre running 4.88's on a 5speed yes? any noticable powerloss?
[hijack] got any closeup pics of your hi-lift mount? im thinking of putting mine there too, but kinda above on the top bar as ive got 2 mounting holes there. yours doesnt seem to have them or maybe they do & cant see em?

Thanks for the props...
I was running, and still have 295 Nitto's on Classic Locks. They are a good all around tire, but the wheels are not good for wheeling. These 315's are really only meant to be my wheelin' tires.
I am still running 4.30's and it isn't really that bad compared to the 295's. Although, I will have an ultimate crawler before I wheel again.
My ARB has those holes too, these are the Con-fer rack mounts welded to the front. The bumper had them on it when I got it.

The pinch weld is gone, I have trimmed the flare and actual fender. I have also pounded back the inner fender. This was all done to clear the 295's fully stuffed to the bump stops. I think the 315's will still rub when flexed. I plan to tub the backs of the front fenders when I have time.

I run those tires (33's) on my FJ40. They are a really nice and affordable mud tire. I have no complaints since I use them exclusively for trail riding and occasional daily driving. Nothing fancy, but they get the job done.

No problem on the test fit, since I won't run them all the time you can try them the next time I take them off.
Remember, I am planning a NM4WAW (New Mexico 4Wheelin' Adventure Weekend) over the 4th of July. You will have to come hang with us.

Looks great Jim, I know the Nitto's arent for wheelin, BUT you have to admit there some of the best tires in the RAIN.
