kumho AT 315/75r16's

[jonny24v01]

I am considering getting new tires soon after I fix my tire wearing issue. After the lift the 265's or 31.5X10.5 look redneck. I was looking at the Kumho AT cause I've heard good stuff about them and they are cheap. Anyone have any experience with these? I know the question has prolly been asked before, but with my current upgrades and 3.55's what kinda power loss and mpg loss or increase should i expect? And with the stock rims, how much rub will there be at full lock?

The truck now tracks straight and has brand new tie rods and track bar. I've found a set of 315/75r16 kumho AT's for 672 minus mounting balancing and Big O's sale is 866 out the door for their AT. I havn't gotten any input on my original question, but when I get new tires which is gonna be either soon or when they are actually needed in a few months, I will be posting up pics. I just don't want my truck to be sluggish with the 3.55 gears. Would it be best to do power and transmission upgrades to get the truck rolling better or re-gear to 4.10's? I'm sure someone on here has gone from 265's to 315's.

The Kumho's are a good tire for the money. Make sure your wheels are wide enough to support a 315. If your wheels are too narrow for the tire, they will ware out faster than expected. You will be adding quite a bit of width to the set up so that won't help your MPG's, nor will the extra weight. I don't have first hand experience with your truck so I couldn't tell you how much loss to expect. The new shoes will certainly give your truck a nice new stance.

i was gonna go to 315/75R16 (35x12.5) but i didnt want any issues with rubbing so i just went to an offset rim with 305/70R16 (33x12.0). they still look good since they are a wider tire and i didnt really notice a difference from my 31's
