I just got my new Dura Trac 275/65/18s today, and they look HUGE compared to my 285/60/18 Nittos. I'm a little worried that I might be doing a lot of harm with tires that big. This rig already feels light on torque (in high range) and low on MPG. According to the online calculator, the new tires are 1.9% bigger (in terms of rotation) than the old ones, and 10.4% bigger than stock.

Is anybody running tires of this size with stock gears?

What's the cheapest way to get into some 4.10s?

 

Anyone?

 

no you dont need to regear.. if you hit 33's then yes.

 

there is no "cheap" way to get to 4.10 either on these trucks.
least not that I know of, i would guess 700-1000 bucks for a set?

 

Lucky 8 has everything, but I dont see cheap in there anywhere

yeah was just looking on there. they sell them for 327 + 18 shipping. thats not too bad I guess. thats about the same price as the jeep wranglers (least my old YJ). so you figure 2, your looking at 720+- with taxes

 

yeah, now add in new bearings,seals,synthetic gear oil and the price to have the lash proper set and your well over a grand

 

this is true.
