I always question my decisions so I’m now second guessing size. These weight around 70lb each vs stock of 39lb. I definitely notice it and my DTE instantly dropped but god I love the look. Gotta do it for the clout I guess.
Definitely noticed it too but it’s part of the truck game (y) looks very beefy with the bigger tires!

Really considering a step down simply for weight savings. Would save around 10LB per tire… everyone who has run bigger tires. Do you think I’m splitting hairs at this point if I save 40LB overall?

I doubt you'll notice that big of a difference at only 10lbs per tire. Especially for the hassle of getting the tires removed, new ones installed, rebalanced, possibly realignment etc.

At DT again, switching to 275/70/18 KO2. We’ll see if I regret it. I absolutely hated how my new truck drove with the Nittos. They were loud, heavy, the truck just felt like crap. Shoutout to DT for dealing with my crap.

OK Maverick, now you're really giving us some good research. LOL
So 10.8"x33.2". BFG KO2 should be nice.
Gonna have to give us some more killer pics and review of the ride quality again. Thanks in advance. ha ha

Plot twist, realizing while sitting here that these are the white side wall version. Damnit! Already googling how to black them out.

White letters in, thank god. Probably just offended someone over 50 in this group ?

Felt a bad wobble so immediately pulled into the next DT on my way home. We’ll see if I’m crazy.

First impressions, WOW. I’m so damn happy. You know when you warm up with a heavy bat then use a normal bat? That’s the feeling. It’s roughly 12LB lighter per corner but I can definitely tell. Pics to follow.

So now that we know 295/70/18 fit on stock wheels with no level...I’m wondering if 35x12.50r18 Ridge Grapplers on stock wheels will fit with a RC 2” Level Kit. I’m thinking YES! Anyone know for sure ?

I am pretty sure 35x12.5 won’t work without trimming but I’ve seen 35x11.5 work fine with a level on stock rims.

I’m happy! Got 265.00 back in the process too. Loved my 285/65/20 on my last truck, I think this is a good compromise.

I'm guessing you didn't need a level to fit those? I think this is the size I'm going to go with, as well. They look great! I wouldn't mind doing a slight level with a bilstein swap when they come out for our year, though.
