I put on 35 inch Toyos yesterday. Now I notice a weird groan noise when I leave a stop. It only happens for the first few feet. Whats really weird is it also happens as I come to a stop. I'm worried it might be that the trans doesn't like the tires. I have a SRW 3500 with a 3.73 rear end.
You must have some aggresive tires. Is this the first time you have had tires like these? Whenever you put onj some mud terains or something like that, you get a vibration like bumping feeling when you take off and stop. It is just the way those type tires are.
The loudest tires I have had were Super Swamper Boggers 35x16x15. It sounded like a helicopter. The lugs are so agressive you didnt need to use brakes at the lights. Just left off the gas and thump to a stop.

Reason: Spelling mistake
id just assumed this was something on top of the significantly louder tire noise. but yea...goin from the stockers to a mudterrain is a 10fold increase in noise.
although I dont notice anything special from a stop.
oh and everything should have boggers on it from the factory =)
I think its the aggressive tread pattern. My BFG KM2s do it too, as do both of my buddies trucks with the Toyo M/Ts. Once your past about 10-15mph it stops.

hey i have 35'' toyos too its just when you are driving really slow, because of the aggressive tread patern u get that noise and vibration!! it has noting too do with allingnment i brought mine in and the allingnment is perfect!! you will get use too it i did!!lol
Explain the groan noise better. I have Toyo mt's but they are only like 34's and they are siped. If the noise is a little metalic it could be the added leverage of the tires making your springs wrap/squeak a little.......? I know I had a toyota that did that but these springs are just a LITTLE stiffer/stronger...lol. My tires with the siping sound like I'm spinning a little when I take off. Good tread where so far though.

You guys are right, it is the tires. I can drive at a walking speed and hear the noise. On soft dirt it doesn't happen. I have not had M/T tires before so I was surprised. Thanks for all the help.
