New to the forum. Like what I've seen so far. Thought I'd add my $.02.
The wife's new ride is a Glady Sport S. We both are thoroughly impressed with just about everything about it. She wanted bigger tires. I didn't want to go too wide as I've hydroplaned enough times to know I don't like the feeling. We do lots of highway miles and a little off roading. We ended up putting Falken Wildpeak A/T 3W's on it in the 255/80R17 size on the stock rims. Tires are 33.1" tall and have a little more aggressive tread pattern than the stockers. Didn't touch the suspension either. Even though they're a load range E tire, we couldn't tell that the ride was degraded. I think they're aired up to 45psi. Max psi is 80. Haven't noticed any increased road noise either. I guess the big question is whether they will wear evenly at the reduced inflation number.
Her Jeep is back at the dealer for a few add ons and to have the speedometer recalibrated. I provided the dealership with the revolutions per mile of the new tires. Is that what they would change in the Jeep's PCM to make the speedometer and the odometer accurate?
