Wheel Tire Combo Options Need Help

**stingmang** · 03-02-2009, 09:32 AM

I was hoping I could get some insight. Its time for me to replace my tires after 24k mi. They are toyo 37x13.5x22. They are expensive @ ove 2k to replace. It seems they are also wearing parts on the front end. (also could be excessive wear due tire being at low air pressure @ 35psi). I have changed pressure in the past month to 62psi. Help with gas and my steering is easier.

I bought a 5er since I lifted the truck 8in Fabtech. We were able to get the trailer and truck to work together at this time. However I have a lot of bodyroll on the truck when hooked up.

So I am going to put stiffer spings on it.

Here is my delima. I could just replace the tires add springs new alignment, etc.. Change wheel size or Change tire wheel combo to a 35" tire and relax the torsion on the front end. I also thought of just going with a AT 35 with the same wheel. Which option would be the best for the truck, I like the look, but I am willing to sacrifice for the longevity of the truck. However, Is it worth changing all this in the first place?
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

I am wiling to bet that the wheel spacing is what is causing the problem.. Different back spacing can cause pressure on different pieces causing them to wear prematurely. Lets see what other people say.

What wheel spacing would be ideal?

def drop to a 35" tire plus drop down from a 13.50 to a 12.50 will help as well since the wider they are the more leverage they have on your front end parts causing premature wear.
