Absolutely. Lol

The bull bar was to keep New England drivers off my bumper in parking lots. I can’t tell you the number of times I had to reset the position because some ****** bumped it

How much clearance do you have on your tire at full turn (UCA)?

 

[Tylus]

265/70R18 General Grabber AT/2 tires

since I kept the same width, it's the same clearance to UCA as the original 265/65R18 tires. On paper the new size is 0.5" taller. But the tires I bought are E rated and super deep tread. Ended up over 1" taller overall. Speedo is off by 2 mph at highway speeds

Would you buy them again? How is the road noise at highway speed? Any howling? MPG take a hit?

They do have a “hum” at 60+ mph when newer. As they wear it quiets down significantly . It isn’t loud at all. Windows up and can’t hear at all. I’ve always ran Mud tires, so these are quite nice.

I may have taken a mpg hit. But she still pulls 23-24 mpg on the long trips. City is somewhere around 15 mpg. Not shabby

I will buy them again. Here they are with about 25k miles of wear. My only complaint is they pick up pea gravel that gets stuck in the treads. We drive 99% paved though, so not really a detractor. But could be if I lived down a dirt/gravel road.

Here is a shot of the UCA clearance

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

Added a camera to the ranch hand. Don’t want to hit anything

For now am using my driving camera to view. I am researching a dash monitor setup. Can’t find something I’m happy with yet
