anybody got any pics of a rig with 35x10.5s?
im looking into getting the interco SSRs and that is the only tire i know of that has that size but since that is def. not a very common tire size id like to see the way it looks on some peoples rigs bc they are hard to find i know toyofast i think it was ran them but he only had one pic up anybody got any more pics?
thanks guys

 

go to expeditionportal.com "I think" and look at their tacoma. It has 255/80r16, which is basically the same size.

 

thats a 33x10.5x16 tire (255/85/16) not quite a 35"

 

thanks man
anybody else??

 

well i know that the super swamper boggers come in 35x10.50 try thoses

 

search on here for "Toyofast" - he ran those with no lift ...

 

who makes a 35x10.5 ????

besides interco

 

SUPER SWAMPER boggers & SSR's

powerking makes a 35 narrow to cheap as hell but rough as 36 grit sand paper but the pull great but only rated to 70 miles per hour

yeah ive seen his but all the pics except one timed out i guess

i didnt realize that with the boggers doubt ill go that route though thanks

anybody got any PICS of a rig with them (besides toyofast) that seems to be the only person i can find that runs them but i know there is more

 

that sounds like a scary combo to me. 35s are a pretty tall tire and to get that height in such a skinny tire, i would be worried about stability. youre not going to have much contact with the road compared to your height. just my .02.

 

Why do you want that size tire? I really don't understand this whole "skinny tire craze" thats going on right now. Skinny tires are not really good for anything other than mud that isn't very deep and snow that isn't very deep. For basically any other kind of wheeling, a wider tire will beat out a skinny tire. If you are just trying to fit the biggest tire without having to replace your a-arms (or something else that would interfere with a wider tire) then just go with a 32 or 33 that is like 11.5 and get a locker or something that will actually help you find some traction.

BTW if you want these tires for shallow mud or shallow snow, then disregard what I just said but based on the fact that you are looking at SSR's I'm guessing thats not the case.

 

well one thing is that with wider than stock tires you have to buy wider rims and that can be pretty expensive also wider tires cost more usually and they are more likely to rub another reason is that when i get my tires it is going to take me a while to earn the money to regear so thinner tires also wiegh a little less and wouldnt put as much strain on the engine although the difference might be small
and ive heard different opinions on wether i wider tire is better than a thinner one with a shorter wider tire you tend to float on top of whatever your going through but with a thinner taller tire you go to the bottom where all the traction is there have been alot of arguments about this
there was a really good site that i found that explained it but i cant find it
can anyone back me up on this?

 

clearance is key when one wants to take their truck off road. the only way to get clearance under the diff is bigger tires. it also helps approach/breakover/departure angles.

now thats an uninformed statement if i ever saw one. is that why you see all the wiiiiide snow tires people put on their stock vehicles come winter time? oops...they dont because a NARROWER tire will be more effective in snow. well...of course with exception of the icelandic expedition trucks running 44X16X16's. those were the wider tires that you were referring to..right?

fyi...some 11.5 tires can rub on the stock arms. it all depends on the tire and the wheel its mounted on.

i, as well as many others would rather run a taller, narrower tire over a shorter wider tire.


to the OP...pm 4rx on this site. he's got the ssr's in that size. this post has a pic of em on his 3rd gen. its a nice setup...but the interco's are heeavy. ive got a 35X12.5X16 trxus on an LC alloy as a spare..and its a good 20-30lbs heavier than a 315/75/16 geolander M/T on a steelie. definitely look into regearing if youre thinking about this size...

 

I understand that clearance is key in offroading, but having things such as lockers can many times provide a lot more of a benefit than taller tires and open diffs. I actually had an offroading incident today where I got my 4Runner stuck. I have stock size 31" all-season tires. The "rescue" vehicles had a set of 31" Dayton Timberline MT and the other had 32x11" Mickey Thompson Baja ATZs and neither of them could even get to me to pull me out. Only difference is I was the only one with a locker. They both had taller tires and more ground clearance.

Also wider tires are advantages in places other than iceland. If you are WHEELING in snow that is deeper than a foot or so I will take a wider tire any day. If we are talking about merely street driving on roads that are plowed 90% of the time then yes I would take the skinny snow tire. Since the OP is lookin to buy a set of SSRs and not blizzaks I doubt we are talking about street driving, so lets not compare apples or oranges. If you are WHEELING in any mud that is over a foot or so, I would again take the wider tire. Skinny tires suck in deep snow and deep mud for the same reason they suck in sand, they cut and dig down to the bottom, which is good if there is something down there to get ahold of, but the stuff I wheel in doesn't normally have a hard bottom.

I would pay money to see a 4Runner with 35x10.5" tires and open diffs follow a 4Runner with 33x11.5" tires and a locker or two through any kind of challenging off-road obstacle.

edit: Here is a good article by the guy who does the gearhead column in Offroad Adventures magazine

http://www.offroadadventures.com/pas...ticle=gearhead

 

Tires dont compare to lockers.

Would you rather have 35 skinnies open/open or 33 fatties open/open

I'll take the skinnies but I do like fat chicks.

 

Again, that depends entirely on what you are wheeling on....

Rocks - I'll take a wider tire
Deep Snow - I'll take a wider tire
Deep Mud - I'll take a wider tire
Sand - I'll take a wider tire
Street driving - I'll take the wider tire
Snow/Ice street driving - I'll take the skinny tire

Please read the article above for the same opinions from someone who has been in the wheeling game a lot longer than me.

 

in some cases what you said about the lockers and 33s are true but if the ruts or mud you are trying to go through is deeper than your tires are tall there is no way to easily get through unless you hit it ridiculously fast or something lockers or not
and if you are going to get lockers eventually anyway you might as well just get the 35s anyway bc the price difference in 33s and 35s isnt going to really set you back enough to really prolong the time to earn the money for a locker and we all know 35s and lockers are better than 33s and lockers

but i just want to see some rigs with these size tires on it haha

thanks yeah i sent him a pm yeah i like the way it looks also need more pics though haha

 

no doubt traction devices will benefit more than taller tires. but the title of the thread is any body got pics of a rig with 35-10.5's...not anybody got a pic of a truck with a locker.

some people want bigger tires, other people want traction...

 

I did get a little off topic bringing up lockers, there is just a lot more to offroading than taller tires and a lot of people don't get that. So sorry about going on about something that doesn't really apply to this post.

To the OP, in the end it is your truck and you should definately do with it as you see fit. There has been a lot of talk about skinny tires on here and I only wanted to make you fully aware of both sides of the coin before you got the skinnies and then were disappointed. Good luck with your tire search.

 

no problem man i appreciate what you were trying to do
now on with the pics haha if anybody can find any that is
