Tire Upgrade ?
- Thread starter JPATTERS
- Start date
also +70 offset instead of +60.
I only know this because of your most excellent spreadsheet!
Really good to know. I'm glad I didn't buy. I'm sticking with 33" but I want as tall and wide as I can to stay within the stock spec. I don't want to give up the under vehicle spare storage.
I'm on the fence of getting a 1958. You have the KO3's on the stock wheels? How do they run? Are they loud? Also is there a setting in the car to adjust for the larger tire size?
Also, is there a way to get a front trail camera on the 1958? This is the main feature I would like to have. Not only for off road but also for overall convenience when park at the shopping mall
The falken wild peak T4W weights:
LT265/70R18 56lb
265/70R18 50lb
LT275/70R18 60lb

I have no idea if the LT275/70R18 fits underneath the 1958. it's 33.43inch, so not much taller than the LT265/70R18 so I would hope it fits. It seems that these tire sizes account for the difference in ground clearance between 1958 and LC trim of 0.7 inch. does anybody have information from the manual that the LT275/70R18 is allowed on the 1958? Also, is there a setting to adjust the speedometer to the different tire sizes?

If anyone is interested, the OEM tires on the 20" rims (Dunlop Grandtrek PT22) are produced in Japan by a company called Sumitomo Rubber Industries.
The tires are supposedly mud and snow rated, and specifically designed for Land Cruiser.

Wish there was more of a review instead of just a press release. I had trouble finding information on these specific tires.
I don't think they are sold in the US by vendors. I only saw some being sold in Australia.
Yeah, doesn't seem like it. I hoped they would have gone for something a little more fitting to the car. These aren't very aggressive at all but they seem fairly comfortable on the road.
Have another link to where you read these tires were snow-rated? Didn’t read anything about that in the link. ThanksIf anyone is interested, the OEM tires on the 20" rims (Dunlop Grandtrek PT22) are produced in Japan by a company called Sumitomo Rubber Industries.

This is interesting. I assumed Toyota would have the same width rim on both editions. This means 3 different rims for three different level land cruisers, 2 being 18" but each slightly different. Wild.
Can anyone with AT4 comment on road noise from the tires? I wonder of the AT3 have less road noise. I'',m leaning towards non-LT on whatever tires I choose. May do KO2 because, in my experience on there vehicles, there isn't much road noise.
I'm not sure that E rated tires run at 80 psi make a lot of sense on a mid size vehicle unless its towing or overloaded a lot.

There is slightly more noise from the AT4W’s than the stock tire, but this is too be expected. I don’t find the noise intrusive.
I’ve driven a lot of AT’s and MT’s on various vehicles in the past, and I find these on the very quiet end of the scale.
And I should point out that the AT4W’s are only noticeable at highway speeds. In comparison, the Duratracs I had on a Wrangler and a ZR2 made noise at any speed, once they had a few thousand K on them.

I guess I've become somewhat negative on the AT4W after watching Outdoor Auto's mostly positive review. I don't need a high mileage tire made for heavy trucks. I need an AT tire with good highway behavior and softer rubber. So I'm thinking more AT3W or KO3.
Mud is my biggest problem, but I wont run MTs. If I ran the LC heavily loaded, or towed, or ran on rocks a lot in the southwest I would be more interested in the AT4W

They’ve got a hum over 45mph, nothing obnoxious but it’s there. Louder than stock, quieter than KO2s I had on my old transit van.
The online tire reviewers suggested the AT4W should be quieter than the AT3W, which is already supposedly a relatively quiet tire (I don’t have direct experience with AT3W aside from seeing them everywhere around here)
I'm turning my 20s into snow tires, and buying 17" or 18" for AT tires. Probably excessive but what I feel like doing.
We know that the stock tires are an odd choice for the LC, especially in snow country. But I do think many LC owners should probably investigate tamer AT tires that the aggressive high end ones most discussed here. Although if I lived in Denver I would make different choices, including possibly buying a Bronco instead of the LC.
But I don't want thousand of miles of tire highway drone to have marginally better off performance.
