New Owner - New Tires, Level ASAP

[9452772]

Truck looks great - we will see how the tires do, but on the 5 mile ride from Discount to my work, they we very quiet. Per the EVIC, i was averaging 21.9 per the first 184 miles on the truck...We will see were I land after the level and heavier tires.

I am running the same brand and model tire on my dually and my dad has them on his 150. We love the tire and I will eventually put them on my 150 if it would ever get build.

ive considered new tires, but my local shop will not do a leveling kit on my truck, said that the manufacture of the level kit wont warranty it on my truck yet. said its to new? also, when it comes to tires id like to replace the factory w/ a new all terrain tire but have no clue what kind I would need is there a special tire for this truck for example bc of the weight to keep the MPG in the good or am I just confused on this lol

I am running Nitto Ridge Grapplers w/ 2" level... about 20 lbs heavier per tire and it killed my mileage. I have yet to see 20+ mpg, the lifetime avg is 16.5.

what size did you go?

So far I have put 150 miles of in town driving on my truck with the level and heavier 10 ply tires (33.5")...Per the computer I am averaging 19.4. I am still running my first tank of gas from the dealer so when I refill, that will be my restart to get a true hand calculated average.

The 157" truck did not have a good turning radius to begin with but I haven't noticed any difference pulling into my parking lot at my office. These new tires are approx. 1 1/4" taller, so couldn't imagine it being much difference.

But I came from 6.5 and 8' bed HD trucks, so turning radius wasn't too high on my list.

Thank you for the feedback.

I’m a little worried about that myself. I’m going 285/70R18s. They seem to be about 4 lbs lighter and about .75” shorter. I guess time will tell.

My current Trucks
PB XLT302A - 295/60R20 Toyo AT3's (34x11.8) with 2" level kit - averaging all-round 10.8L/100km with 12,000km.

Just picked up on Friday my June 2021 ordered PB Lariat. Had them place 285/60R20 General Grabber ATx (hate the stock hankooks) (33.5x11.6). I decided no Level Kit (wife will be using this one more than me) and with the first 250km we have averaged 10.2L/100km.

Discount Tire, and the offered trade in value on my takeoffs

I did not realize Discount Offered Trade ins on tires, I was planning on running my tires until I needed new ones and then go with the ATs.

The max trade in my local store does in $100 a tire - new take offs, (Had a $75 a tire trade in on a set that had about half tread a few years back) but I would rather do that then have to go thru the hassel of taking them home, listing them, and selling them to try to make another $100-150.
