  1. looking for tire recomendations

    I went with the General Tire Grabber. No noticeable change in milage. Slight tire noise but quite tolerable. Good rain and snow performance. Offroad I used it for sand and soft dirt, aired down of course. Did very well in the dirt and sand. UHP255 - 55 - R18
  2. Tires....yes, again

    I put 255 55 18 on my OuterBanks with adequate clearance. It is close but they do not rub.
  3. Curious as to how many have had/have brake noise

    '21 Bronco Sport Outer Banks. The rear brakes have made noise since new. Close to 35,000 miles now and they still make noise. I am thinking of trying an after market brake pad instead of Ford OEM.
  4. Curious as to how many have had/have brake noise

    Yes, I have had rear brake noise since new and the dealers (2) both said there is nothing wrong?? Well maybe go to after market brake pads when they wear out??
  5. Tire width question

    Yes, I am very happy with how these tires fit and their dirt and sand performance. I am not a rock crawler so I made this choice. I may choose a different tire next time, but will stay with the same size. I would like more room in the OB for bigger tires in front, but that is not the case. I...
  6. Tire width question

    General Grabber 255 55 R18 on Outer Banks. No rubbing, but close fit up front. Lots of room in rear.

  8. Different Tires?

  10. “Finally”… a correction for Rear Brake Moan Noise

    I am going to take this print out to my local dealer and see what they say.
  11. Worse luck with tires.

    This is why I deal only with a local independent tire shop. That is a repair they do make and they do not make any bones about putting a tire back on if they remove it. I can drive up at any time they are open and they will check tire pressures. Repairs are completed in 15 or 20 minutes. And...
  12. 235/55R17 instead of 225/60R18 possible issues?

    I don't think there will be a problem with going with a smaller tire. I went with larger and wider tires on my O.B. and did not see any change in the accuracy of the speedometer. Maybe it self compensated??? Don't know. I did notice when I had to use the donut spare tire that the car...
  13. Need new tires...

    GENERAL TIRE UHP GRABBER 255 55 R18 Sorry. I forgot to put that in.
  14. Need new tires...

    I chose these tires for my Outer Banks. 27,000 miles and still tread left above the wear bars. Good rain performance and good on sand and soft dirt. I do not do rock climbing. I too rotate the tires with each oil change. There is a little road noise with this tire but not enough to be...
  15. How accurate is the onboard TMPS PSI readout?

    I get the same kind of results with the tires on my Grand Cherokee. I do not think the TPMs are perfectly accurate but are a good way to see if you have a slow leak and need to attend to it. If the tires are within a couple psi then all is good.
  16. Wheel size

    I choose a 255 55 R18 tire for our Outer Banks. It is a close fit but no tire rub anywhere. It is a little taller and wider than the stock tires.
  17. Stir the 245/65/17 tire pot

    I will stir the pot too. I went with 255 55 R18 on my Outer Banks. Close fit but it worked.
  18. Correct air pressure?

    As tires warm up the tire pressure will increase slightly. If the indicator is within 2 lbs of your own gauge I would call that good.
  19. Questions on 1.5” HRG lift and 245 65 R17 ko2’s

    I put 255 55 R18 on our Outer Banks. Ride is fine and no appreciable change in fuel economy. I have Rough Country 1.5" lift and no problems with over 22,000 miles now. There is a slight tire noise but nothing distracting. We use it for dirt roads, soft field and on sand. The tire I chose...
  20. Mall Crawler Tire questions

    I have a 2021 Outer Banks. I installed General Grabber UHP 255 55 R18. No clearance problems and no noticeable change in mileage. I use it for soft dirt and sand off roading.
