your 95 suburban..looks great 👍🏽

Exactly, imagine stuck out at Windorah waiting for a new tyre

Exactly

You could just get the closest size available until your back home to order 235/85

I am in the US but I consider that as well my truck came with a 245/75 but will fit 285/75 without much issues but the 265/75 is easier to find so that is what I run

@@MrMarkguth Oh yeah, or Narnia even.

You don't have to cut, or bend anything to run 265/75r16s. You "may have to" for 285/75r16s. But from the factory, 265/75r16s don't rub even at full flex with the sway bar removed.

Triangular tires will soon be the norm, and then we will all have the ride that we demand.

Lol 😆 yes....

Yup, get the round ones

I prefer black. Like my soul. But to each their own I guess.

Round tires are now offensive so yes the rounder the better!

Any good off-road instructor will tell you that the 235/85/16 is the gold standard! Especially for the Defender!!! The bigger A.Ts will quickly make a lot of noise on the road as soon as they are a third worn and do not have the 3pmsf approval which authorizes to be driven on snow (in Europe it is the law) and M.S will not tell you not allow, even if the tires have a good performance! In addition, as Jimmy says so well, the bigger ones have a harder rubber, so good for the lifespan but less good for snow, mud, and much noisier... so, apart from the look, I don't see any interest.

FTR.. 235 75 is what my 95 econoline has.

I have this size on my dodge Cummins. Chinese tires called " capital. Found the receipt yesterday. 9 years old now but nearing replacement stage.also I don't put on a lot of miles each year.

Got these brand new on a 2022 rubicon jeep gladiator 285/70R17 so far fantastic in the snow ❄ and ice. Too busy working to test out off road in summer...yet.

If you've never been stuck, especially stock truck, then you've never been 4 wheeling. EVERYTHING can and will get stuck

You know what you're talkin about sounds like most these people don't don't even think that guy was planning to do much but drive on the street.

Thanks for the comment @xxxYYZxxx I was like this guy too and wanted to buy some all terrain tires for my Jeep, but I don’t go mudding, and really just wanted a tire I could use for all weather conditions and some overlanding. Your comment helped me make my purchase. Thanks.

Thanks ALOT!

He does more babbling about nothing!

Will you please shut the hell up! Excessive diarrhea of the mouth. He has to be a salesman.

I forgot why I was watching it

Michael Cowan He's a photographer.

As are the few others he has out. Always check the comments before wasting time watching.

Bfg KO2,s are snow rated. The all eat snow.

I think i should do that for my forester.

@@juliosdiy3206 did my research, and I am completely happy with Gerneral Altimax Rt43 on my AWD RAV4.. I was considering going with two separate sets of tires, all season and then a set of winter tires. Went with the Generals and couldn't be happier with all around performance in all conditions. I read, at that time I bought mine, make sure they are the Altimax RT43, not the regular Altimax. I even go on some trails for camping, not serious off road trails, but they sometimes get muddy. I haven't had a problem yet after a few years with them. I have used BFG AT's , and also some Firestone tires on previous 4 wheel drive vehicles that sadly disappointed during winter months.

Try the Mickey Thompson all terrain 255/85 17r’s. They are a 10” wide 34” tall tire.

What's the chalk method?

@@a-dog8075 find a flat open area like a parking lot or your street, take a piece of chalk and shade a line in one or two spots completely across the tire tread from side to side, drive forward and back as straight as possible without turning, look at your chalk lines, if the center of your chalk lines are worn down or gone and the sides are not then the tire may be over inflated for the weight of the vehicle, what I look for is the even wear across the chalk line, I noticed on my truck that I could see light under the edges of my back tires while setting in the driveway, my truck is empty most of the time, I adjusted the tire pressure using this method to get even tire wear, keep in mind that to little air pressure can overheat a tire too, I hope this helps you

kstricl. imgnation milage? 5.7. will not get more then 12-13mpg that is why those old 1995s have 42 gallon tanks mind you my 6.0l. hybrid gets 24-25.5. on the highway. the highest ever was 26.7mpg hyw

My 94 tbi 4x4 can get 16 on the highway if you go 55 to 60.

Ewk VLOGS The first time I ever heard him I thought the same thing. LOL 😂

Is her name Carmen?

What do you want a mind meld you idiot

He should go away and talk about tampons, emotions, and relationships.

But does he put out like your girl is the ?

I don't

Agree. My 2003 Tacoma TRD Offroad came with 265 /70 R 16. They are definitely a heavier tire

Don't mistake me, I'm not calling you a liar or anything but, it doesn't make sense that a wider tire could improve mileage. Wider tire = more tread on the road = more friction = lower mpg. I don't know, perhaps you are getting slightly better mpg but, it doesn't make any sense to me.

I think fatter is safer. Intuitively

The reason you're getting 'better' mileage is because your new tires are slightly smaller diameter than your last tires, with 159 mm sidewalls as compared to 172.25 mm sidewall. Your speedo is still calibrated at XXX revolutions per mile, but each revolution is smaller. Basically, unless you recalibrated your speedo, the odometer is also off, showing more miles than you have actually traveled.

Tire width has zero effect on vehicle stability. CG height, sidewall height, sidewall stiffness, and track width make the difference. All the tires he looked at were the same diameter, so the sidewall height was the same. Sidewall stiffness may have been different, but that's unlikely since they were the same model of tire. He's keeping the stock rims, so the track width isn't changing. Both options were taller than the factory tires, so he is raising the CG slightly. Either way he goes he will have the same stability, just slightly less than stock.

Maybe he meant better mpg than with the taller tire?

Lol this whole video gave me a headache, i have a 89 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, came with a 145hp 280ft lbs torque 5.9 liter engine, yes 145hp thanks to 70s emissions bs.. But its got plenty of power for 31-33-35 inch tires, you just have to regear the diff's.

Yeah, that sounds like twisted logic. If it's only an inch taller I don't think it would make too much of a difference. 🤔

@@slomotrainwreck I think it is the wider tire being the issue when relating to rolling resistance.

A narrow tire will be lighter at the OD meaning it has a lower polar moment of inertia, therefore it will take less HP to spin. The tires all have the same outer diameter (more or less) and the polar moment of inertia makes more of a difference on acceleration.

Same,i would like to later put on 285/65R17 on my 4 gen Toyota 4runner but still keep the factory look

Factory size doesn't tend to look factory once you've lifted it some.

@@hannahranga don't think of lifting my 4runner but keeping it stock.

Factory is 245 75 16. You only get less gas mileage, you have less pep as well.

Wrong

That’s exactly what I did and I love them!!

285 75 R16 KM2 (33x11s) on 1998 GMC Seirra SLT 4x4 Crew Cab 6.5 Turbo Diesel Dually with 2 inch spacers, No Lift.

Does the E rating in the 235’s provide a stiff ride deflated off-road? It will be for a Ford Ranger on 17’s. Or would the E’s flex due to the tire being more narrow?

Exploder. 🙂

Not quite the same but have been running 285/75R16 mud tires on a 1997 5.4 Expedition, no lift. 3.73 final drive and drives better than with the stock 245 or 265 tires.

My 92 dodge cummins weighs more than 6000 pounds and a 235/85 works just fine. Forget about all the loosers running tires a foot wide. Fads change.

Absolutely skinnier tire with an aggressive tread does better in snow, more weight on a smaller contact patch. Cheaper price.

Absolutely. Pizza cutters rule when performance trumps fashion...........unless you also like the skinny look like I do. Win-win.

Will 235’s load range E flex pretty good deflated or ride stiff since it’s an E tire, light vehicle like a Ranger

My experience has been the complete opposite of that. Fatter tires have done much better for me in snow, sand, mud conditions hmmmmm All that and he went with the wider tires 😂🤦‍♂️

@@Joe_Brown99 Science says narrow tires do better in the snow in most conditions. Google is your friend.

@Robert Manning Another thing this guy needs to be aware of, don’t worry about a rougher ride!!! If you don’t put a 10ply tire on that Suburban, you won’t get a normal years worth of driving out of those tires!!! I mistakenly had a set of B F GOODRICH Long Trail 4ply Tires in the 265/75/16 tire size put on my truck(they had a 50,000 mile warranty on them as well) and they were just shy of bald when I had to replace them in LESS THAN A YEAR!!!! I would not have thrown my money away like that if I had know that they were only a 4ply tire!!!! On a vehicle like his Suburban or my F-150, tire size is not the only consideration!!! These vehicles weigh more than normal passenger cars, so having a tire with a *’P’* rating put on a vehicle that weighs over 5,000lbs curb weight is the wrong type of tire for that vehicle!!!! Don’t buy a tire solely on its tread life warranty!!!! But tires that are rated for the vehicle weight that you are putting those tires on!!! Where I live, the roads are filled with potholes, up and down grades with curves thrown in there and the normal everyday passenger car tire will not hold up to that kind of punishment on a truck!!! With the EXCEPTION of the 4ply tires that I bought not realizing that they were only 4ply; I have never had any tires with less that 8ply on this truck and I never should have focused on the per tire price and warranty for that set of tires!!! What I will focus on now and will as long as I continue to own this truck or any like it in the future, is the number of plys of steel belts and rubber between my truck and the road!!! The B F Goodrich tires I have on my truck now are 10ply KO2’s!!! They are noisy, but I’ve already had them on my truck for the better part of 2 years and other than some minor cupping, they appear to have nearly the same tread depth they had when I purchased them!!!

Should last longer too if you keep proper inflation and alignment

Yes. I run a set of K02’s on my 150 10ply with an E load rating. They have been great tires I have put over 80000km on them in 3.5 years with a mix of regular driving and towing a travel trailer. I am at the point where I need to think about replacing them and I will buy the K02 again.

I run the mastercraft 10 ply courser cxts 1 level below the mud terrain and yes thats also because I already own the 10 ply mud terrains mtxs, and have a Goodyear 8 ply Goodyear all terrain authority radials for during the summer, 265 75 r 16 10 ply is always the way to go

Yep. For the regular user (multi use vehicle) a decent width is the best all around option.

Be happy that he didn't go on to talk about the air that goes in the tires.

Exactly what I was thinking but I do admit now that I have the 265/75 I’m loving them. Not too wide but definitely wide enough for the ‘stock’ look I wanted. Now, I don’t think I would like the extra skinny 235s..

Wait til you get 10,000 miles and see.

Do you have an update on these tires? I'm considering them myself for my F150.

@@07Convertable I only kept the vehicle another year after buying the tires but will say they held up very well during that year with little wear.

Same. My beast PERFORMED so much better. Those little tires aren’t gonna last very long with that weight he’s got. She needs some meat on them bones; The more the cushion the more pushin’ lol

Haha yessir

I ran this size on my 01 Tahoe. As heavy as it is ,I was happy with the traction off road. A skinny tire digs to much with all that wait in the winter on my soft ground. Gass mileage sucked but didn't get stuck as much

where did you buy your tires? thanks

I have a Grand Marquis that calls for 225/60R16. For the winter I would want to use 235s for traction and rolling resistance on slick roads and 235s wouldn’t make such a big difference compared to 225s. I would want to stay close to stock so I don’t have to radically modify and throw things off too much.

@Miller Killer 64 Sorry, as I also own a 2003 cvpi, snow tires are best thinner then wider on the road. 235 is a wider tire offering better handling in dry road conditions. 225 is better. Snow tires, inherently are thinner then the same size all season tire. This allows it to cut through the snow/slush and reach the pavement to get more traction as apposed to floating on top of it. All 4 should be snow tires too. It can be scary having just snows on the rear. My wider tire comment for snow is for OFF ROAD only, where the roads are unplowed and a suggestion of where to be, not on road.

@@slow_decay Oh. I get it

235/85r16 only comes in 10ply so for ten ply 235 vs 265 the 235 will be cheaper

I like the 265

@@1RoadGarage Yea, I run the 265 on my 97 GMC and my 2018 Colorado.

@@1RoadGarage I run the 265's on my 2002 Yukon SLT - great ride and handling...

That depends on what's on the road. When roads arnt plowed I've found a little fatter tire bits a little better. Even though you float on top of it better. But yes in most cases the skinnier tire is better. But I'd say just go with a 10.5 wide snow tire (assuming it's a suv or truck) and you cant complain with that

@@MrMuffanga donut spares all the way around!! Kidding 😂

Same reason tractor’s use skinny tires they have more traction they dig in the dirt better.

@@THETRUEKING12 more pounds per square inch.. Why is the chevron pattern on the tire reversed?
