But the diameter and thread pitch are the same so they are interchangeable.
How has your mpg been since upgrading to these? Any major difference or only slightly less mpg? Worth the trade off for the better handling you're stating?
I can't really notice much difference, maybe 1mpg... I wouldn't say handling is better, just about the same, I probably drive slightly more carefully in the wet based on previous mud tyre experience.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I just put my Grenadier on order this past weekend with steel wheels on the Trialmaster edition. MM color with black roof. So, looking for a 33 inch tire to upgrade too that won't hit my MPG too bad. I might leave the 31 inch tire on. Not sure yet. The slightly bigger tire just makes the Grenadier appearance drastically change, but I want to avoid hitting my MPG
FYI The falken MT's that I have are not a true 33" they are a 32.8" which is virtually the same as a 285/70-17...
Dane, how is the pizza cutter style tire upgrade for you? Any issues to ride comfort or big mpg hit?
How is that Mud Terrain on noise for you? I'm assuming naturally louder than stock tires?
Louder than the BFG At's for sure, but not bad, the soundproofing on the Grenadier is pretty good. If it was an old defender they would be way louder. I know from experience...
I don't track MPG, so I can't tell you the impact there. I have no complaints about the ride or noise. I don't really know what to tell you other than that I have no regrets.
