Wheel/Tire Upgrade Photos

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...

Not that 0.2" is going to make much difference to your MPG...

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...
 
Dane, how is the pizza cutter style tire upgrade for you? Any issues to ride comfort or big mpg hit?
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.
 
Here ya go! Yes they’re hub centric!!! Bore is 84.1 just like the OEM wheels. If you call Paul Edellston at Braid USA, he can set ya up!

What does hub centric mean? NEWB Here :ROFLMAO:
The wheel is centered in place by the lip on the hub. Aftermarket wheels generally have a large bore size on their hub and then plastic or metal "rings" that click into place to make them hub centric. Without being hub centric you're relying on the studs to center the wheel, which doesn't work too well in most cases and can cause vibration
