No Lift tire size guide (work in progress)
#321
Looking at 255/70 R18 for my P400
Narrowed it down to BFG KO2 and Cooper Rugged DiscoverTrek in that size.
Both the same nominal sizing but the latter is listed as 32.4" diameter. I wonder if this because the Coopers have more curve to the tread. A curved tread over the sidewall versus a plateau in the BFG?
Would that equate to the addition 0.4" height? (a 0.2" curve to the tread cross section)
Still pondering the 265/70R18 in the BFG but am leaning toward the simpler OEM size with the Tuffants (offset +29 and an 8" rim. )
E load in the BFG 265/70 with an extra 0.25" sidewall. Unlikely there will be any rubbing issues
D load in the BFG 255/70 OEM size
XL load in the 255/70 Coopers. OEM size

To add to the data for 20" wheels - two weeks ago I had Nitto Terra Grappler G2Ws 275/55R20 installed. And as we all know, no rubbing at all. This past weekend I installed 25mm H&R spacers and now I get an ever so slight rub when backing up at full lock in access height. The rub is hardly noticeable but I will pay attention over the next few weeks to hear if it rubs in other situations.

Lousy quick pictures.
Just after tires were installed, before spacers.
Spacers installed

Hi Everyone,
I have a Defender 2020 110 HSE with 20" wheels and I'm looking for an upgrade for my tires.
Has anyone had an experience with the Falken WildPeak?
My buddy recently purchased a Jeep Gladiator Mojave that came with the Falken WildPeak. They look good and he has been pretty happy with them. They are currently #1 on Tirerack.com for A/T tires but I don't know anyone who has any real experience with them.
I'm debating between General Grabber, Falken WildPeak and Ridge grapplers (Guest appearance by Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 😜. I know there is a lot of good information about the Grapplers but wanted to see if anyone has information on the other two (three).
I do 90% of my driving on road, less than half that on the freeway. My off roading is limited to challenging dirt roads (with some rocky passages) and light mud/snow/sand.
Thanks,
Roy

I've owned the wildpeaks since July 2020 and have been very happy with them. I have load E for added sidewall protection. I have had great success in the snow in mountains of Oregon and Washington. No noticeable road noise but handles everything great. I haven't done deep mud which is weak point of all A/T tires. I love them so much that when the Grenadier comes in the ko2 will be set aside for wild peaks because of their ability in the rain. I live where the sun shines from July to October and then it rains.

I've got some 18" alloys coming soon(ish) and looking at the same tire. 265/70R18 MT Grabbers. With the added 0.6" diameter and 0.3" height increase I'll just barely fit in my garage so a lift is not something I'm interested in.
I know you mentioned in your TopofTheWorld trail post that you have lift and sliders but wasn't sure if you'd run this setup without the lift for a bit.
Any info on rub without the lift on these tires. How close was it to rubbing.? The alloys I'm getting are 30+ offset so will be closer than OEM at full lock.
