Hi All,
Per above! My 100 came with some Grabber X3 33"*12.5" R18s on Pro Comps which weigh over 105 lbs per corner unworn!! To be fair the pro conps are 28lbs which i think is light for an 18 of that build quality.
But that's simply 'weigh' too much for a mostly tarmac and occasional light trail machine.... I have a KZN130 Hilux Surf on 33" MTs which is the machine that gets abused and hammered off road, so I want to get some road manners and performance back on the LC with a lighter tyre on the OEM rims which came with, but still retain sone offroad ability and not ruin the looks with the 2.5" lift.
I've had great success with 'off brand' tyres in the past, and am looking at the Thunderer Ranger ATR in the 265, which still has an agrressive tread, a wide carcass at 32" and weighs 50lbs per tyre. Coupled with the OEM rim I should drop up to 28lbs per corner of rotational weight! (I weighed the spare new X3 and it came in at 76 lbs!!!).
I'm still a little wary they may look small with the lift kit though... Does anyone have good profile pics of some aggressive 265/75/16 on a 2.5" lift?
I've seen plenty at standard height, but not lifted.
