Camped with my buddy Mark (his white LC pictured) in Big Sur.
Let me know how you like them off-road. I’m having trouble giving my defenders up for a/t tires since mine don’t seem to struggle with much when I go. I try to keep out of the mud though. They’re some good riding tires though!
How's the ride compare? I think I'm going to do the same on my wife's Pathfinder Rock Creek. The Toyos on it are so stinking loud. The road tires are probably going to look odd with the fake rock ring on the OEM wheels, but I'd prefer drivability vs looks considering it never leaves pavement

There’s gotta be a typo here somewhere…
@ChroniclerCruiser - I hardly go off road, and the Nitto RGs in E rating were pretty rough riding. I have run defenders on a lot of other cars, including this very cruiser for a summer and decided that I don't need ATs.
I might get a chance to do some mild off roading soon - will most likely post abt it in my own thread.
Looks are probably the thing that I miss most - the 295s with aggressive side wall pattern looked very macho. But I think these tires will save me enough money in gas alone that I will forget abt the looks.
You are right - they are 275/70/18 - I fixed it in the original post too.
Reckon I’ll have to folllow that one. I’m still only getting 14.5-15.5 with defenders and still being stock.
14.5-15?! I'm lucky if I get 10
My dash counter says I’m getting 17.2 right now for this tank. It’s always a little proud though. Cruising 55 down backroads all day is the only time I see this though. Interstate driving in usually going around 90 and getting 14ish.
Looks very nice! What fog lights are those?
Took some light trails to get a feel for my new ko3 tires in 285/75r16 in C load. Pretty decent tire so far.
My youngest has been bugging me what’s really there, so we went. Mini road trip to ZZYZX Road in Nevada
Fuel tank and lines are thermally insulated, happy to share that although I smelled hint of gas, there was no fuel boiling at this ambient outside air temperature of 108°F. Fan clutch mod also played a good part cooling engine.

Got a film shot of the cruiser in Sand Hollow, UT
Yeah it’s just getting worse daily. 85% has flaked off and the rest is barely legible. For free, can’t complain, but I do wish I would have put it on my tool box or maybe the interior.
Here's what I worked up as an alternate option...I lost the sombrero in favor of something a little more appropriate for us Cruiser folk...
I think I'll get a couple dozen printed up on high performance vinyl with a UV protected matte finish overlaminate. And a touch smaller.
3" x 3" instead of 3.5"
Or I might just send the design over to reefmonkey and see if he'd just carry it in the ih8mud merch store.

Wheels finally came in, along with some fresh rubber. I think she’s almost complete now.
Looks fantastic! Wide boys!
Last month was the Timing belt, spark plugs, and O2 sensors....
Still chasing a P0170 code, but I have more parts to install for that, AND THEN, the starter starts to grind when the gear retracts. Starting that job in the morning.
