Largest Functional Tire Without Mods

[DaveB]

Just a question, do you get High Pressure warnings that will not stop? Mine warns me every 5 minutes or so and drives me nuts, it is as if the programer never envisioned this vehicle being driven on an interstate in Texas in the summer.

I have my tyres set on 36 cold and they get up to 44 after long highway runs in summer.
I set the tyre pressure sensor at 40 PSI and no problems

I find if the tire temperature gets too hot, it will not reset the pressure. it only works on "cold" tires. Maybe under 100 deg F?

I’ve not had a problem resetting on the fly but an alternative, if you are running 36-38, is to pressurize to around 40/42 psi when cold set the level then deflate back to “normal”.

Yes, exactly what I did.
It works a treat.
Only time I struck a problem when was ambient temperature hit 44 degrees Celsius (111 Fahrenheit ) and I was 3 hour drive on the motorway.
I had to reset the tyre pressure on the fly.

I realized after having a puncture that if you take the spare off the back, mount it and put the tire with puncture on the back, the system will replace the sensor of the non rotating tire with the new rotating tire. You don't have to drive around with the tire light on until you go have the punctured spare repaired or replaced.

I just put Yokohama X-AT's on in 285/75/R17 on the stock steelies and still clear the rear door by a few mm.

Is this on the stock ride height? Any rubbing at full lock? Thanks for the assist.

Running 40mm lift, zero rubbing in any situation.

Thx. Was hoping to fit with no lift. I think it’ll clear, but be really tight.

Lot of back and forth so will ask

Is anyone here running 285/75r17 on STOCK steel with no mods of any kind? Seems like people keep posting a photo and then say they have a lift. Looking for no mods.

I have had Toyo AT 285/75r17's on the stock steel wheels for about 5000 miles. No lift of any kind, stock suspension other than the King shocks. A lot of hard offroad use, like teetering on two wheels full tuck while turning, rock crawling, high speed dunes, with no rub at all. Spare clears the rear door. Just got back from a 2,500 mile trip with no issues. If you don't want to go full 35" tires and lift, these are the perfect size.
