A MPG update. On the drive home with the 20 in stock wheels and Dueler tires (76lbs and 8 years old) i got 18.2 mpg on hwy (72-75MPH) with the new tires and RW's i got 19.4 mpg at the same speeds. Very happy with this setup......
Yeah, I can't believe i found these 2 days after i bought my 570 and only had to travel 100 miles to get them. I was planning on doing some other Tundra rims in the mean time while i looked for RW's.....
Forgot to mention. Trail Terrain is 46lbs, RW is 24lbs for a combined weight of 70LBS!!! Stock wheel and 275/55/20 is 76lbs. The carcass is actually a 1/2 inch wider on each side compared to KO2's on RW's. It is a direct comparison to each tire as my son's LX470 has KO2's/RW's on it.
Drove in heavy rain yesterday. Hit standing water at 65 and no issues. Got a couple of inches of snow this morning so a little testing is in order.....
Update, Snow traction is excellent.....
Thanks man, I am soo happy with the 2011 LX570 i found after a month of serious hunting. 105k miles in great condition with lots of service records. No major issues and bought from a private party for 25K. Had to travel to Seattle (240 miles) but not the first vehicle that i have bought from...
Hello Mudmates,
After adjusting my ACH sensors for max lift, I was not quite done with the work. I decided to modify the arms to achieve more lift. I originally lengthened them as i thought i saw someone else do this. (I should have paid more attention) After cutting them and using a section of...
Hello Mudmates,
I had ben in a quandary between KO3's and Defenders for a few weeks for the right tire for my new 2011LX570. I don't do much off-roading anymore so the KO3's were more than i need but have a great look. The Defenders are a nice all around tire but the looks just don't fit the...
Found a gem in Seattle. 2011 105k miles good service records for 25K. Nice private seller couple. Found a set of Rock warriors only 75 miles from me. Awaiting 1 inch Bora spacers. Agonizing decision between KO3's and Defenders ATX MS2's. Pro's and cons for both. It was in kneeling mode when i...
This guy ended up being a flake. As soon as i started asking the tough questions he vaporized. Thanks for all the responses. The great news is that i am making a 9 hour round trip in the morning on a 2011 with 106k miles. Its cherry and i will post up the pics when i get back.....
Hello Mudmates,
I just found a 2012 LX570 w/248k in nice condition but just now wont start. $5500 Here is what the add says
The car doesn’t start i think it needs new cam shaft sensor or crank because when you start it its like it’s about to run but then it just shuts off have no clue how it...
Hello Yodamd.com I tried to place an order and even though i placed an order for what i thought was a white one it looks like i got a black one. I only want a white/grey one as i already have a black one on another key chain and need them to look different. Please only process the order for a...
Or you could keep the 17 inch rims and go with BFG KO2's. they make a 285/70/17 in a "C" rating 51lbs and a 2755 lb load rating. Your signature shows 285 C's but you didn't mention this so its confusing. Not likely to find a 285/75/16 that is lighter than 51lbs. I have the 285 C's on rock...
And i thought this guy needed to get in rehab STAT. They should both be admitted...... Haha
