33/12.5/18 work on stock truck

COTitan · Sep 25, 2005

Here is my 04 stock 4x4 with grill guard and bushwacker fender flares. The tires are 33/12.5/18 and they fit with no rubbing or triming. They were $1360 at les shwab's in Reno. They raise the the truck 1" and give you more travel on your front supension. They also make a little more noise on highway but are stiffer then the P rated goodyears(E rated). I also got these siped which cuts down on noise and provides a better ride.

I love these tires and think I will buy another set when these run out.

I love off road and climbing with these too. The real reason i go them is for working in winter in Mammoth CA though. The speedometer is now right on insted of a few miles off according to my gps which is good too.

:huh: Okay, you're going to have to explain that one.

COTitan · Sep 25, 2005

Well i measured the front when I did an oil change, and then yesterday when i got the tires there was 1" more before the bump stop. Not sure why. Maybe since the tire weigh more or some other strange reasoning. but i have 1" more now

Sammy Sandbag · Sep 25, 2005

Those tires are 33.0" OD, your old SR-A are 32.6" OD, for a difference of .4". That would give you an increase in height of .2", hardly an inch. Tire weight wouldn't effect the height. And if you are measuring between the A-arm and bumpstop that wouldn't have anything to do with the tire as well. As for more suspension travel, that has nothing to do with your tires.

But regardless, the truck looks very good!

did I read the price right....over 300 a piece????

yogibm1 · Sep 27, 2005

300 a peice for 18"r's? i think that is a little high

COTitan · Sep 27, 2005

The tires are $288 a piece, siping $45. balanceing 40, pressure senser exchange $16, 80+ taxes and disposal. Total $1332.
yes they were expensive but they will do what i need them to in the snow. I can't wait for winter and skiing 20+ times

What's "siping"?

Sammy Sandbag · Sep 27, 2005

Tire siping is cutting small groves in the tread to allow the tire to conform better to the terrain.

It also gives larger tread blocks more biting edges for increased traction on wet pavement and ice.

Tires that are made for Ice have lots of sips in them. Like the bridgestone Blizzac

How much improvement do mud terains like the MTR or the MT/KO gain on wet roads while breaking or turning if you have the tires siped?

THX in advance

Hey COTitan is that the factory Nissan grill guard? It looks like the headlight protectors are removable. Is this the case?

COTitan · Sep 29, 2005

The factory grill guard does not come with the headlight protectors. I orginally wanted the off road package and the dealer did not have it so they threw in a grill guard and fog lights. So that is why I have the grill guard. It does bring my front end down a few inches but I like that it separetes my truck from others. I still have not seen another titan with one well driving.

Co_titan · Oct 6, 2005

well it took a few trips but 40lb in back and 45lbs in front is perfect pressure in these tires. since they "E" rated tire the can be run up to 60 psi. when at this pressure they don't effect mileage

Co_titan · Oct 9, 2005

Well i went down to mammoth lakes CA last friday and had some fun in the snow and mud. The snow line is now right above town (8000 feet according to gps) and these tires performed great. I would suggest these tires anyone who tows and off roads. I drive about 30k miles and look forward to many miles on the highway with these tires. :rockon

COTitan · Nov 15, 2005

well after a lot of snow use i still really happy i got these tires. no regrets and I would suggest them to anyone

Really depends on the siping and how much... how deep... etc. If you go too deep, then you run the risk of chunking the tires.

However to answer your question, it can really help a lot.

CoachBoone · Nov 15, 2005

Hey I'm getting those tires next month! Gonna put a 2" leveling kit on and get the 35/12.5/17s. I got quoted $1550.00 including the level kit install, by Schwabies also.
I love that tread!

ecbmxer · Nov 18, 2005

I know they make an A/T version of this tire in a similar size. Except it is 13" wide instead of 12.5". According to the Toyo website, you cannot use it on an 8.5" wide rim like the M/T. Is this true? Is there any reason why and is there anybody running it with no problems? I want this size with the DR coilovers but the M/T is a bit too aggressive for me. I want to be able to put highway miles on the tires without any vibrating or humming.

COTitan · Nov 18, 2005

" I want to be able to put highway miles on the tires without any vibrating or humming."

That is why i put these on, so i can drive 30k+ each year on highway and go off road when need. Plus it is E rated so i can tow with these tires too.

If you read the website you need an 8.5" rim for these tires. I running it on a 8" rim.

Will the tires look as aggressive without the "siping" or will they not look as off road??

COTitan · Nov 21, 2005

siping is like taking a knife blade to your tire and slicing down in a striaght line about 1/2" on the raised tread areas. It has multiple benifits and no negitives

kartman · Nov 21, 2005

Well the do tend to wear faster and can chunk easier. That is a potential negative of aftermarket siping.

mopar · Nov 23, 2005

COTitan do you have 2 logins??? or are there 2 COTitan and CO_titan??

CO_titan I like your avatar nice mastiff(English??).

I like these tires very aggressive looking.
