Just got tires for Christmas!! Help me pick wheels.

[NC_Overland]

can you provide more info on your 285 tires ? I’ve got a stock Overland and wold like a wider tire but don’t want a rough ride and more road noise. Thnx!

I have Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3s. They’re E load, but they ride good and handle great and are really great in the rain. Also, they only weigh like 55 lbs IIRC. However, unfortunately, I don’t see that size listed anymore (285/70/18). You’d have to go a little bit smaller with a 275/70/18 or a 285/65/18. The 285/65 would be a little bit wider than the 275/70/18, but about the same height.

my wife hated a Rubi I had with 33” MT tires so I need something that doesn’t make her mad. I’d like wider but not real aggressive. I like the looks of the Bridgestone. How would you describe road noise?

I can’t hear them. I have almost 30k miles on them and I’ve had them rotated every oil change, thank you Jeep wave, but I still can’t hear them. I’ve had other A/Ts start off quiet and get loud is why I mention that. The Silent Armor A/Ts that were OEM on my Canyon All Terrain were louder brand new and they’re tame for an A/T.

I’m not trying to over sell them, but I’m really happy with them. It handles better than with the OEM all season 255s. The ride and noise level is the same.

@SkyKing if you buy them only run 34-35 PSI. They wear evenly and the ride is good. When I first had them installed they had like 45 PSI in them and the ride sucked.

I bet. That sounds very high. I’ll swing by Firestone tomorrow and see what they say.
Seems like OEM 18” wheels may limit choices. I like my wheels, don’t want to change them.

I don’t notice any more road noise than it had before. The truck tracks better with wider tires. Less steering correction. Also rides a bit smoother than stock.

How do you like the tires so far? Did they improve the ride? Hows the road noise vs OEM tires?
How’s it steer now? I just had a new gearbox installEd…

See my post above. Pretty much everything improved over stock, with road noise having no noticeable increase for me.

The place that installed mine had them at 35.

I disconnected the front sway bar just to see if I could get any rubbing. No rubbing here! I think these are about as big as you should go on a non lifted sport or overland.

Your rig looks great!!

I hated the look of my Dueler H/Ts I sold them basically brand new for $300 just to I didn’t have to look at them anymore and they were over $200/tire on tire rack.

pretty big fan of Anthem wheels

My Overland has OEM wheels 18x7.5.
Apparently from what I’m reading in specs, 285 tires need a 8” wide wheel.
How wide were your stock wheels?

I haven’t heard that. Maybe due to your wheels being 18”. Mine are 17x7.5 i think.
