[Big Timber]

Inflating only to the car manufacturer's recommendation is sometimes under inflating (especially with large swings in ambient temperature and poor maintenance of tires and tire pressures). Under inflating also creates less contact patch as only the outer edge of the tire will be in contact and the middle will be in less contact.

I agree underinflated tires will have less contact patch. But there's a correct PSI which should be what's on your door label, and that correct PSI is almost always less than the max PSI of the tire.

I guarantee the handling of my Nitto A/T C-load tires at 50psi max will be WAAAAY better than the same tire in E-load at 80psi max (and 50psi is far too high even). At 80 psi every bump will get passed through the tires and into the suspension, and every pothole will end up bouncing the truck all over the road uncontrollably. It will be like an overinflated basketball.

Feel free to inflate to max psi, but please don't drive near me.

I learned years ago from taking a defensive driving course given by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol that you should always run the maximum tire pressure specified on the tire sidewall. This gives you maximum tread pattern contact with the road. The car manufacturer does not manufacture the tires. The car manufacturer's sticker with recommended tire pressures is only to achieve a certain ride quality that the car manufacturer wants.

I have Hankook Dyna Pro ATM tires. Per Hankook the tire pressure for the 200 was not the max pressure. It was the same as what Gaijin recommended. 42psi

If you really want to learn about inflation pressure, here's a great thread with a lot of good info: Tire Pressure for Rock Warriors with LT285/70/17, Load range Es?

If you have any questions after reading that thread, and to avoid dragging this thread way off-topic, you can post them in that thread.

Yes. But so does over inflating:

......Pic Request......plz....

Anyone mounted older gen 18" Tundra Aluminum 5 spoke rims on there 200? I have posted a pic of rim I am looking to slap on my 09 LX... I have searched and have not found 1 pic with these specific rims on a 200 series....

They aren’t super popular because of weight. They are heavy compared to other Tundra options.

 

[grinchy]

They will fit they are 18x8 60 offset. Like @tbisaacs said they weigh the most of any of the 18s Toyota made for the tundra

WUT?! I don't understand why you would think that? Your sig shows that you, like almost everyone on here, are using an oversized tire also with extra vehicle weight. In no way are the door listed psi's meant to be used on a larger tire under the extra weight of steel bumpers with winches and sliders, etc. The door psi are for a basic lower load and smaller size.

An E load range is better designed to hold up to the heat created when running lower psi off road or towing for that matter. Nobody is running the E tire at 80 but mine at 50psi are perfect under the +/-7500 lbs running weight. ~40 psi like your door says, would be downright dangerous for handling on big sweeping interstate curves.

A lower psi tire will deflect laterally and the vehicle will sway a bit simply due to that tire shape deflection. This is not what's supposed to be happening.

Awesome. I will be swapping mine out with 275/70R18 BFG KO2.

I’m going to sticky this thread since tire threads seems to be the most popular— as well as the most detested.

Hopefully people will start here for tire and rim data vs. starting yet another tire/rim thread.

Love the sticky idea...

But...

...Problem with this once-living/breathing database is that it is becoming significantly out of date and does not reflect anything released within the last several years.

Also no longer reflective of most listed mud member installs/solutions of most of the listed users (myself included). Slee’s entry, for example, mentions they are working on a kit to fit 35’s....but that is reeeeally old info now. My entry is like 4 tire model changes ago...

Still interesting, and useful for gaining a general sense...but just be aware it is no longer a buyer’s guide.

I am trying to decide between Ridge Grapplers and Terra Grapplers for my 2016 200.. does anyone have any insight on either? Recommend one over the other? Going to be riding them on stock height as well.

I am in the same boat as well. Looking to replace the stockers at 50k miles in a month or so. Planning to stay with 18" wheels but may go aftermarket with 20 or 25 offset. I'm pretty sure i want 285/65/18 but the 305 option has me curious. Is that doable without a lift or would there be massive rub? I've seen a few posts on the forum about it but don' think it was this thread.

I have run both and my preference is the Ridge Grappler. More modern tread pattern and better than the Terra Grappler 2 in mud, snow and general offload. Road noise for both are relatively quiet and similar.

My current wheel and tire set up is 18X9 +25 offset with Ridge Grappler 285/70's. OME lift/SLEE UCA's. The very slightest rub on the KDSS at full turn. Heated and reformed inside/rear fender wells. Otherwise, perfect size IMO.

There’s a guy on Mud who runs 305/65r18, but I can’t remember the brand of tire...pretty sure the wheels were aftermarket. 285/70r18 on stock wheels and suspension is doable with minimal rubbing. Mine rubs in just a touch at full lock...

 

[grinchy]

275/80r18 on 35mm offset (35 1/4 inflated, 34 3/4 on the rig)
Removed rear mud flaps
Removed front mud flaps
Pushed front liner forward about 1.5 inch
Removed inner rocker cover bracket/bolt (it’s behind the front mud flaps)
Some minor heat gunning to the front rear liner
This is on an lx570.
