Just installed, no rubbing whatsoever rides like stock, cant tell about the noise but will update. Just drove it 4 miles shop to home in Nj pothole cursed roads. 275 no lift.
Just want to make Sure
So at full cranked turn backing up or making a U turn no Rubbing and you have a SR5 4X4 275/70/17 on stock rims do you have mud flaps or gaurds ? :shrug: thanks

Yes that’s correct, i got the factory flaps, checked and made my wife back it up fully lock and no rubbing anywhere, was surprised too! 2019 sr5 4x4 on stock rims no lift.

I don't remember the exact measurements, but I can say that the load range E on my 4Runner are much deeper after 30k miles than the brand new P's on my Dads Jeep. I was surprised because its actually a pretty big difference.

What are people running for tire pressure with the P285/70R17? I started at 34/35psi but have since adjusted down to 31, might go down to 30 or would that the to low. It seemed like when I was running 34/35psi the outer edge on the front wasn't making contact with the road and was starting to feather a little bit.

The size should not matter. I run 33 normally on and offroad with 35-36 for long highway trips. My outer edges have a tiny bit more tread than the rest but the difference is negligible.

Do a chalk test.
Buy some kids oversized chalk they use on driveways
Over inflate you tires
Find a flat parking lot
Cover a section of tread side to side with the chalk.
Rolled it one or two revolutions
Look at the chalk. You want it to just barely be touching at the edges of your tires. Keep deflating until you reach this. This will be your running temp.
Of course what sucks here is the 4R does not show the psi for each wheel in its stock set up. Sooooo....get the tires up to temp and lower them to your new psi setting.
Then you can check your psi in the morning or whenever the tires are completing cooled down for your cold psi setting.
Finding the right psi for your rig based on its weight and tire is going to give you the best ride, tire longevity, reduce cupping. Just be sure to rotate AT tires every 5k or so. I have gone 60k on Duratracs 33” on my JK doing this with completely even tire wear and zero cupping. 4R will get the same treatment.
Do not fill to tires rated max psi. The factory psi will only be a rough target, added weight, different tires, extra plys, etc play a big role. Also bigger the tire the more air, so temps outside play a bigger role. Real bummer the 4R does not provide this display! I will be upgrading to a new head unit, and getting this info is a big part of that. I can feel a difference in ride when they are only 2-3 psi over target.

My tpms in the dash came on after about 20 miles driving, was wondering what psi do guys run with these tires on 275 sizes. I checked and the shop put 40 on all four corners think thats what triggered it?

Definitely the 275C for me but they did absorb more bumps and provided a softer feel of the road.
I'm glad I swapped them for the 285P I needed freeway boost. For the three trips I took they perform well off road. I just wish I had bought lighter wheels for less rotational mass.

I run 44 in mine (LR E) and have no issues.. It is only triggered by under-inflation. The shop may have damaged a sensor if they are all at 40.

I’m so over discount tire. DT direct is better but the stores won’t make their own deal unless I do the footwork and bring them a quote. They don’t stand on their own two feet.
Tire buyer had the best deals I’ve found. Period. Just ordered some Nitto RGs there. If you’re a first responder or military they also offer a discount which was awesome and entirely unexpected. Check them out.

I concur. DTD was much easier to deal with for price matching when I bought my wheels. I used the "Found it Lower?"link you see throughout the website. I had DTD ship them free to local DT for the install and they did it right. Now the guys at local DT scratched my wheels taking off the weights when I swapped my 275 to 285 not even 2weeks on and the manager said he would work something out with me. Well come to find out he can't do shit, DTD uses a different supply chain and computer system than the stores. I have a case open with DTD customer care now.
Tirebuyer is the way to go for tires, have them ship the tires for free to your local firestone and pick them up from there to save the 45 bucks for home shipping. Call your firestone to confirm you can just pick them up without having them to install the tires.

Exactly...Discount Tire DIRECT. Discount Tire, however, is a different story. Like mentioned, DTD uses a different supply chain and are a wholesale system. They’re great. The stores are not. They always ask why I didn’t buy from them instead and I’m like, bro, give me a deal on your own. They can’t.
With this day and age of the internet, why am
I the one hunting for the best deal, then handing them all my work just to give them my business? Either compete and earn my business or I’ll move along.
I’ve moved along. Tire Buyer is legit. Super happy so far with my experience so look at them.

I want to do this community a solid here.
Although I just went with the Nitto Ridge Grappler I was SUPER close to buying another set of these. Just wanted something more aggressive and Load Range C.
Anyways, Discount Tire accepted my screen grab of their previous pricing before the big price jump and matched it. That means they were willing to sell the P-Series 285/70-17 for just $148 per tire or $592 for the set. Unfortunately that size and load were the only ones I had happened to grab a screenshot of. Anyways, if you’re in the market, use my screenshot and score a deal!

Unfortunately, I was unable to get the LT285s balanced after 3 force balances. 3 out of the 4 will not balance - I am going to have to swap them out as highway speeds are intolerable.
Stock rims ?
