34s for 18” wheels

[brenorman]

Hey all

I have been trying and trying to find 33-34s in 18” wheel size tires that are NOT load range E. I plan on leveling my 21 and keeping the factory 18s. Yes. I like them.
Anyone know of any that are XL, C, or SL or should I just go with E??

I went with E, but everyone has different needs. I guess it depends on how you plan to use your truck.

I was skeptical about going with an E rated tire, but now I’m glad I did. These trucks are so well ”tuned” that I hardly notice a difference from the original SL rated tires. Plus, I actually use my truck towing in the back-country so I need a bit heavier tire.
I run the same pressures on the E rated tires as I did on the OEMs.

I’m more concerned about the jump in weight and mpg. It’s not a deal breaker but if I could find a lighter tire I’d go with it.

Nitto makes a Terra Grappler G2 in a 295/70R18 that is 34.3" tall and weighs 50.64lbs.
There's also the Grabber APT in a 275/70R18 that is 33.2" tall and weighs 42lbs.

Definitely an option with the Nittos. Was looking for something more aggressive along the lines of KO2, Wildpeaks, or Open Country AT3 but all are E and >60lb per tire. I could swap for 20” rims and get Ridge Grapplers but hear bad things about wet traction.

at the end of the day may just suck it up and put E rated. Has anyone done this and what sort of MPG hit did you see??

Bridgestone Revo 3. 295/70R18. Its a load range E tire but it only has a two ply sidewall so it doesn't ride stiff and only weighs 54lbs.

I upgraded my stock tires to 275/70/18 (Toyo Open Country AT3s), kept my stock 18" wheels, added 2" level kit and haven't noticed any difference in handling or ride quality. MPG hit has been so minimal that I hardly notice. Speedo is only off by 1, which I can easily live with, without looking to recalibrate.

I initially thought I wanted 35" tires with aftermarket wheels, and a 4" lift. Once I researched it some more, I decided to keep it simple, closer to stock with a level and only slightly larger more aggressive looking tires, because I didn't want a huge hit on MPGs.
