Hi All, I’m writing to ask if anyone has any opinions about the new Discoverer AT/3 tires. I’m currently running a set of the older model AT/3s in load range C — thanks again to everyone on this forum who helped me with this decision. The tires have been great, but I’ll need a new set for...

...just when I'd begun to move back to E!!! True I'm not towing anything super heavy. Maybe 300 lbs tongue weight + fully loaded trunk. Still think C is sufficient?

Thanks for the reply! Any reason why C wouldn't do?

Thanks for the feedback! Two quick questions: 1. Have you done any offroading over sharp terrain with your cargo hitch loaded (or something equivalent to put the C rating to the test)? 2. Why did you bump up to 275? Thanks!

A more detailed trip report IYI... Hi All, I've gotten a few requests for further trip report details....my wife began a blog for friends and family, The Tot and the Teardrop, but fell behind just one month in! She intends to finish it (I think) but we've got to finish unpacking first. So...

Thanks for the compliment! We do have an additional tent if we want to expand our base, but usually we slept in the trailer (there's a small bunk for the baby). Occasionally -- maybe once or twice a month -- we'd crash in a hotel for a good shower and internet service. My security strategy...

Hey NrthRnr, I can't see that anyone said anything offensive...probably just crossed signals, which is common on the internet. Thanks again for your post!

I know! I read the entire thread...it's excellent! Do you think E is worth the tradeoff for my rig, or will C be sufficient? Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed reply! Did you have a chance to tow off road with your C rated tires? Do you think they'd be good for the job?

Hey Trixx, Thanks for the detailed response! Yes, I plan on similar adventures in summers to come (wife and child willing!) I've played rock crawling a bit and it just isn't my style. A quick followup: Do you tun the mpg drop was due more to the tires or lift? Thanks

Thanks for the reply! 2012sr5 I installed the standard Firestone airbags from etrailer (~$100)

Hi All, Thanks as always for the super feedback! I'm more convinced that the lighter C is the better choice, but still not sure. A bit of followup: Wow! E will really cost me that much? If I may ask a kind of naive question: What kind of driving requires that kind of sacrifice? (Or, more...

Hi Everyone, I’m going to revisit the (very) familiar forum topic of tires with the hope of getting some advice about what might work best for an “overland setup”. (Note: This is sort of a continuation of a discussion towards the end of this post, but I figured a separate thread might be...

Follow up Hi All, I’m back from my summer trip — 16,992 miles in 105 days — and figured I revisit this post to follow up on some of the suggested mods that kept me happy and out of trouble. Many MANY thanks once again to forum members taking time to help me out. (I’ve included below some...

Ahh! Got it...Sorry for the confusion! Had you installed any other lift? Also, what tires are you using? Thanks!
