My stockers were a 265-70-17 I believe. They should fit on your stock rims with no problems.

J.E.D.

Good eye. I forgot to mention that I have aftermarket wheels mounted. I had the wheels off two days ago for a rotation and didn't even think to check the backspace.

Thanks, cruise by sometime and I'll show you my beer fridge...

I've been running a GPS lately and have a better idea of how off the gauges are. The speedo reads about 3 mph lower than I'm actually traveling. The tach reads what the motor is turning regardless so that didn't change. What did change was that with these tires alone I dropped 200 rpm at 60mph. (was running 2000 before and am now running 1800 at 60)


I'm still not ready to part with the $75 to recal my speedo and am not ready to spend the coin for a programmer either. I'll just live with it....

Just thought it would be worth updating...

Shop around. My nearest dealer wanted to charge $45. I debated them and explained that it was a 5 minute job and I could give them the exact revs per mile. They did it for 20 bucks.

Has anyone run these or the 305/65/R17 size on a 2wd?
Currently running 285/70/R17 and at full lock not much room left between side wall and controll arm.

soutman how many miles do you have on the TGs now? I've got a little over 45K on my 325/70R17D Terra Grapplers and look like I have probably 15-20K left. I can't believe it, these things won't die. I've had the money set aside for a new set of tires for the past 15K miles and every time I look at them I am just amazed at how much tread I still have left. These tires are making it AWFULLY hard to go to anything different my next time around, though I think I've been bitten by the 37" bug...

Got same mounted on my truck two weeks ago. . .they replaced BFG AT 315/70/17s, got 42K out of them. So far the new Nitto TG 305/70/17 Es seem to ride better and there is less than 1 inch diff in height between the two. 34.6 vs 35.4 or there about. $900 for the set of 4.

It's been a long time since I first started this thread but figured I was due an update...

I loved the first set of these tires so much that I bought an identical set a few months back. The first set had about 45K miles on them with about 3/16" of tread left. I wanted to go ahead and pull them so I could use them for an offroad trailer I'm looking to build and have matched tires.

I've never had any problems out of them and keep them aired up to 50-55 psi for average driving and pump them up to 65 when I'm pulling a heavy load.

The dealer can only recalibrate to a 285-70-17 on that year. A Smarty jr. would wake up that truck,not kill the stock clutch on the low setting and give you the ability to recalibrate.

I had 84673 miles on my 325/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers when they got replaced. Truly some awesome tires.

mmurray

Reviving an old thread... LOL

But I've got 101,475 miles on my set of 305/70 17E Nitto Terra Grapplers! Waiting for my new set to arrive any day now!
