Subscribing. I'm in the 2018 dually market soon and our wives agree with each other. I'm not allowed to buy the dually until I fork over the cash for her to set the truck up to her liking...leveled w/ slight rake angle, tires, probably wheels to accommodate tires...crap. Guess these trucks aren't expensive enough for us. My last new SD I wore the OE tires out before level lift & big tires. But that was a SRW w/ OE 20s.

 

Before and after. Last truck was leveled 2.5?.

 

Good taste, dig both rigs! Yeah I think my 2012 I did 3.5" front 1" rear. What color is that new dually?

 

Magnetic. It?s like a dark metallic gray.

 

On one of the sites a fellow put 285x75x17 Toyo MT's on the stock wheels but used spacers in the rear. His truck looked great.

 

You wouldn?t know which site

 

Leveled. 35s on 20s.

 

I know it's an old thread, but evidently, my wife thinks the same.... tires too small.

I want to keep the stock wheels since I love the looks of them over everything else (except Alcoas but they don't make a 17 or 18" wheel - if they did, I would have bought them the day my wife mentioned Small Tire Syndrome).

Any word on what ya got? at least for tire size? I don't need aggressive tread since my trucks only sees asphalt and concrete.

TIA.

I just ordered 255/80/17 Cooper St Maxx for my stock wheels,shouldn't need spacers and are 33" tall. I'll post some pictures when I get em on.

hey i was looking at doing the same thing with my supercab, was wondering how things turned out, and id appreciate if you could post a picture or two

 

Not what you're looking for exactly but here is mine. It has a 6" lift with 37s. Tows amazing.

 

255/80r17 Cooper ST/Maxx on 17s with a 1” lift in the front. Have about .5-.75” of clearance between the rears depending on pressures.

 

Here is my bigger tires for my dually. Wating on wheels to be cut. 35/12.50 lowered 2.5 in the rear.

just wanted to be apart of the tread...haha

Fyi im short 1 in the picture its probably there by now.

 

wondering how the coopers turned out, looking for tires for my 17 supercab, and im not really wanting to add spacers at this time

 

I’ve run that setup for over 40k miles now. At 60psi, you have a decent amount of gap at the rears, and you could drop down to 55 even for empty. 65psi when loaded and those tires are never going to touch. I had cupping issues on my front tires, thought it was balancing but I have Ford looking at the front suspension under warranty this week.

In some spots, my fronts are shot but the rears are still around 50% tread. So I bought two 50% tread matching tires off Ebay to put on the front before winter and keep on running. Can’t say enough good things about the mileage on these Coopers. I am going to mount the front tires without any wheel weights and use the Centramatic balancers on the hubs. People online seem to say those correct cupping issues.

 

@73IH810 thanks for the additonal info. You've helped me decide for sure what tires I'll be getting this winter. I've always had good luck and gotten good wear out of Cooper tires. I'd like to know how the centramtic balancers work for you and what the if anything dealership finds wrong on your front end. I bought my 16 CC LB DRW 4WD with 119k on it and have uneven cupped wear on the front tires as well. But from the wear on the rears the tires were not rotated regularly and it looks as tho still has original shocks on it. I'll be checking the front end out and replacing shocks before getting the new tires.

 

Dealer put more caster in the front alignment per TSB 18-2268. It got rid of the oscillation in my steering wheel almost completely. Though the dual steering stabilizer may also help that. Here’s a better photo of the rears for anyone looking at the Coopers.

 

Where did you get that fuel door? I like it.

 

Do you mean mine? It’s an AMI 6158. I had the matte black but it discolored badly through the winter due to salt so I swapped it out for the gloss black so I could keep wax on it.

 

35X10.50 Kenda Klevers....No spacers, No lift! 👍 They ride great, no road noise.

 

how have these tires held up, do you have any pictures with the space between duals?

 

If you're referring to my post they have held up great! No humming on the highway. All is good so far

I'll get a pic of the spacing tonight

 

I just bought a new 2020 dually and I really like the look of 35s do the kenda tires stick out any past your fenders?

 

Not really, they're pretty much flush.

 

Ok thanks did they wear good?

 

Yea they're wearing great. Got about 13k on them now.

 

RIDERED67 - what tire pressure do you run on the rear tires? Just wondering what pressure is needed to maintain that 1/2" gap. Thanks!

 

custom offset wheels has a huge gallery of trucks with all kinds off lifts on them and whether they rub or not it is a good site to see what it would look like

 

Did you go with bigger tires? I just bought the same truck and I thought the same thing about the stock 245s

I just ordered 255/80/17 Cooper St Maxx for my stock wheels,shouldn't need spacers and are 33" tall. I'll post some pictures when I get em on.
