Anyone Runnin The 325/70/17 A/t With Level Kit

is anyone running the 325/70/17 toyo open country A/T on a stock truck with a level kit? Any pics of this. i know there are hundreds of threads about tires but i havent heard much about this specific tire. The specs say its 34.9 inches tall. how do they handle? i was considering the Nitto TG but have heard lots of mileage complaints about them. any comments?

There was just a recent thread about that EXACT tire/size.

Yes they`ll fit, they ride great , but my boss , as well as myself didn`t get more than a year or so and less than 15K miles out of them...others say they`ve got 50K who knows?...same as some people claiming to get 25mpg and everyone I know gets 15

Great tire, I just put my set back on, 10k~ on them and wearing well.

They will fit just fine, but youll have to live with a little rub on the control arms at full lock. Thats the only place theyll rub though...

I have them also. 15,000 miles and are wearing great. Probably get 40,000 out of them, if not more. Rotate every 6,000 and run 48/front and 35/rear. Great in rain,snow,dirt & sand, but the only downside w/ bigger Toyo Tires is they are a wide tire.

You will rub on the upper control arms at full lock on stock wheels, but no biggie........

i was more concerned about rubbing on the bumper and fenderwells due to the fact that my wheels have a 4.5 inch backspacing. i did find the thread about this exact thing after i posted this one. i would like some pics if anyone has some. would like to get an idea what theyll look like. i have the Dick Cepek 33x12.5 on there now, but havin lots of trouble with them cause they are only rated for 2600 lbs per tire. max PSI and they look flat. they are only 32.6 inches tall, kinda look like skateboard tires on my TRUCK!! need something bigger. how is the RPM drop with the taller tires?

With your backspacing of your wheels. You will rub big time on the front fender well in the back bottom w/ the 325's turning. You will need to shave down the corner until it clears. If you want to run anything bigger than 33" tires. Then you need different wheels w/ 5.5"-6" backspacing (Unless you do some trimming). Your front air dam will be good. I took my off so I can't remember.

I have an auto so, my RPM drops enough to make a little mpg on highway. I run 1900 @ 75mph (that is w/ the speedo re-done).
