Nothing more attention grabbing than telling the forum you got a boner from your tires.
But you do you
Yea and it still hasn’t gone down!

I guess you the only one on here allowed to attempt jokes huh. Ok.

Y’all just need to block each other or go ahead and bang one another to get it over with. I don’t want to know who’s going to pitch and who is going to catch.
Lol.
Im out.

Interesting thread.

For starters: Congrats, OP, on the tires! (Vicarious tire boner). Been wanting to engorge enlarge my own to that size, but didn't want to bother with the necessary modifications.

I think the liability in removing the crash/intrusion bars is no greater than worrying if I'm going to get sued in a rollover crash because my 2.5" leveling kit raised the center of gravity.

Ultimately, a lawsuit is going to be more dependent on who is at fault for the collision, not how badly a leg was broken because a couple pieces of thin hollow square tubing were removed in the wheel wells of V2.

That’s funny cause I think Exactly the same thing about you. You and all your thousands of useless and hateful posts.
Kind of funny when someone on my ignore list is in an argument. I end up clearly comprehending the argument while only seeing one side of it. LMAO

Was going to go with a smaller size but I thought go big or go home. These look absolutely amazing. My tire Boner will not go down.

Yes I completely removed the front crash bars and heavily modified the rear crash bars; so what, my other vehicle is an 87 GMC truck with no airbags and only one working seatbelt so obviously safety is not my top priority.

Yes a tire of this size will also fit in the spare location.

Yes I have faction Fab 1.5 spacers from our good friends at Stage 3 motorsports on as well.

No, at least on my truck, you do not have to do anything with the TPMS system, it resets itself.

Looks awesome!!!, D0 you have a suspension lift or leveling kit? I want to run 285/70 on my Tremor with a 2" front leveling kit and 1.5" spacers, but dont know if it will work. I have no problem removing crash bars.

So FYI anybody with these particular tires Who wants to change the diameter in FORScan, 2450 mm makes this Speedo register absolutely perfect. Remember these are the P series 285 70 R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws on factory aluminum 17 x 8 sport wheels. Other 285s on other wheels might be a slightly different diameter.

Looks like your tire boner has failed to measure up.

255/80 17 Open Country AT3s

20211004_112030.jpg


True 33's at 33.1 inches vs the Wildpeak's 32.8. Crashbars intact just in case.

Just joshing you, your tires are cool too. Just wanted to get there w/o bar removal.

To the OP, have you had the WildPeaks long enough to notice a difference in MPG? Of course, any difference might be because of the crash bar delete. (Sorry, I had to!)
