A bunch of first drives even mentioned how well the tires are on street and dirt. So a home run for toyo and ram@3:15 she starts talking about the tires...interesting how there was a whole process to select the right tire, along with the 1" factory lift.
Interesting how the lower control arms and alignment are specific to the Rebel as well...everyone keep that in mind for getting the truck aligned!
open country's have always been knockouts. cant remember if it was them or another that suffer durrability wiseA bunch of first drives even mentioned how well the tires are on street and dirt. So a home run for toyo and ram
That's what I've been hearing from owners. Do you guys deflate them any bit lower than stock or keep them at stock spec's on the trails and dirt roads?I've been sporting the open country mts for a while now. Love them and they last along time. But are very heavy and I'm sure that's what wears out my front end.
Both my dad and brother ha e the open country ATs and love them. My brother got a flat his first time out on the dirt roads with his stockers on his new ram. He loves his new tires

That's my understanding of doing it, it's why i'd air em' out a bit, but haven't done it yet on any of my vehicles.deflating gives 'em a bit more traction IMO
It's one of the many reasons I loved the Hummer H1, tire inflation/deflation system onboard.Lowering air pressure makes a big difference on certain terrains. I use my truck on sugar sand trails and have gotten stuck at street pressure. I air down to 20-23 PSI and I don't even spin a tire. I see a huge traction and flotation advantage with the lowered pressure.
New G-Class 6x6 does this too...but that's outta my budget.It's one of the many reasons I loved the Hummer H1, tire inflation/deflation system onboard.

I rather just stick under $100k and get one of these bad boys:
