I'd just baby the gas pedal and you should be okay, but don't forget the basic stuff like checking transmission fluid levels. Running low with those size tires is gonna have a bigger impact than with a stock size tire.

 

Yeah im thinkin ill be okay if i take that route.

 

How do you like those Toyos? Those are the 385/70/16 size right? I'm looking at picking up a set of those here in the next week or two.

 

Oh and turn overdrive OFF while you're driving around on stock gears for now. That'll help some.

 

Man i love my tires. They look great on the truck. You wont regret gettin em. They clear on my truck completely with 8 inches of lift so you ll def be good there. They actually stopped producing the 38/14.5/16 Toyo MT. That was the size i was gona go with but im alot happier i got these. Let me know how u like em when u get em on Cashel. And post some pics

 

Oh and whats your gas mileage with 38's and 4.88 gears Cashel?

 

I'm getting them put on tomorrow (was supposed to be done today, but ran out of time) so I'll let you know. Main thing I'm worried about is the width of the tires, the 14.5 I used to have were pretty damn wide, so I'm worried another inch will just make it worse, but we'll see.

I get roughly 10 - 12mpg with the truck now. It's not entirely accurate, but it's a good estimation.

 

The extra inch my opinion looks pretty good. I dont think you'll be disapointed.

You need to take the HTML code out, just put the [IMG] tags around this:

The 2 pictures you posted seem to be the same picture.

 

 

Thanks for the help Dinggus.
But thats how far the tires stick out on my truck. I like the stuck out look

 

Got them on today:





I love them. The rubbing isn't any worse than the older Toyos I had, which is what I was worried about.

Edit: These tires definitely feel quite a bit heaver than the Di.ck Cepeks I was riding on previously.

 

Looks good man. Do they seem any bigger or smaller than your 38/14.5 Toyo's you had on a while back?

 

those toyos are heavy...

 

looks good!
