New Tires for a 14,000 mile roadtrip

[aelarson]

Damn i love the look of those Duratracs!

They really do look great. I'm stock size, but they make the truck look very aggressive.

On another note, you can P-rated Duratrac's (which I have) if you are not going to be heavily off-roading, which saves a lot of weight. If I remember correctly, the lowest ply rating you can go with KO2's is C.

Food for thought!

P rating would be great. My "off-roading" would be driving to free camp grounds down dirt/gravel paths.
Are you running 265/60/18 with the Limited?

Yes, it is a plus in the weight savings department. P rated tires would be fine for that, I'm in the same boat when it comes to off-roading.

I'm running 265/65/17 since I went down in wheel size by 1". Same rolling diameter as stock.

I ultimately decided on 265/65/18 Open Country AT/3's. Going to be getting them installed next week. Pictures will be posted!

Here we are. Thank you everyone for your help!

There's rubbing at full lock on 265/65/18 but I am going to cut the liner.

Many have used a heat gun to heat the plastic liner and then push the liner away from the tire where it's rubbing and let it cool and it usually stays there, might want to try this first instead of cutting.

That's so smart, not sure why I didn't think about that! Thank you so much for letting me know! I appreciate that very much!
