Whose running 295/70/18 w/factory wheels

They're $232 a tire today! ordered!

Great buy!!! I almost bought the Falken's, as I had them on two prior vehicles. I love those tires, just wanted a change.

I just had 295/70R18 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's installed. Completely stock suspension and factory wheels, no rubbing in my drives so far. Definitely liking the look. I couldnt justify the additional $20/ tire to go to the 285/75r18. I had a hard time justifying the extra $60 per tire to go to the 295s from the factory 275s.

Glad to see someone else is riding out the Big Horn wheels for a while. I really like the those Cooper tires and they were a top choice. I also really like the Patriot Blue on these trucks, I just couldn't find one close in the truck I wanted without doing a special order. One thing I didn't realize about the Kumho's I purchased, is that they appear to be one of the heaviest tires out there 74lbs/ tire for the 295/70/18. I could have saved approx. 10lbs/tire if I would have went with numerous Falken, Toyo, Nitto AT and/or MT tires. This certainly has more affect on the 6.4Hemi MPG as opposed to minimal effect on a Cummins. It appears as though I could run many 37's out there at only a couple lbs heavier/tire, although I doubt I will go 37's on the gasser. MPG still isn't terrible if I keep my foot further away from the floorboard, not complaining just observing the change.

I really liked the look of the factory Big Horn wheels, and they look even better IMHO with the new tires. As for the Patriot Blue, I was torn between it and the Billet Silver. In the end, the wife said Blue will be better with the interior color I wanted. I special ordered so I could get exactley what I wanted and no one had much on their lots.

FYI, just got a camelcamelcamel notice that the Falken Wildpeak AT3W's in LT 285/75/18 on Amazon are back down to $232. Probably won't stay there long.

I figured I would place this here, since there isn't much discussed about a 1" Level, much less with the tire size discussed here. I really only wanted to take a slight bit of the rake out of the truck. Initially, I purchased a readylift 1.75" spacer, however I decided to install the Traxda 1" spacer. I figured this is the least impactful on my stock components while I save for a Carli or Thuren full setup. Truck is sitting 295/70/18 Kumho Road Venture MT71 tires and the truck did not come factory with the "Offroad Package". Installed about a week ago and rides well so far.

Did you need to do an alignment afterwards? Looks good.

Thanks, I did not need an alignment. A good friend of mine has a custom shop, so I gave him some business for the install (3 kids also keep me strapped for time). He checked after the install and no alignment needed. Axle still looks visually centered and no pull after install.
