New skins today! Extremely happy with my choice of 245s. I initially thought they might be too much tire. But, no, they are perfect on the Badlands. The slight boost in height is also noticeable and just about where I want it. Might rethink putting a lift kit in. Very noticeable increase in steering response and stability. I can definitely feel a firmer grip on the road. No noticeable increase in road noise. MPG to the garage was 33, coming home 29. No highways to drive on here. All towns, villages, and short spurts up to 60. I'll watch for a month to see where the MPG settles down to.

Larger radius is going to make the odometer off, which makes, mpg read lower.

Thanks. I was focused on speedometer reading being off and didn't think to tie that in with odometer and mpg.

Ok my Black Friday tire sale at King Ford shook out like this:
Geolandar GO15’s 235 65R17 full price with all the usual disposal fees bla bla out the door was $814
Then Ford keeps the $100 Yoko factory rebate and I get a bit over $200 worth of Ford rewards points, I’ll use them and the fifty dollars worth of points I already had to get my seat covers.
So the $300 or $329 seat covers will set me back 50 to 75 bucks,,,
I think,,,, I’ll get them on next Friday and get a better understanding of all this flim flam after I get paper work and update you guys but I think it shakes out to a 25% off sale.

Never considered upgrading tires before they are used up. So what do you all do with the old tires with 3-5K on them? Sell them (how?), part with them (what a waste) or keep them? I personally have no use for a second set.

I bought tires for my 4Runner at Discount Tire and they bought the old tires that had about 8K miles on them. I think they gave about $40 a tire. I'm sure varies by each individual store due to local demand, inventory, etc...

Discount Tire and Discount Tire Direct (their internet store) have really good deals frequently. I was able to stack deals from both together. I signed up to both places to get the deals. I got the internet store to add the local store discount. The local store manager told me that he would have done the same thing for me.

Hi… I set up my Baby with 245 65 17 Yokohamas G015 yesterday…
I was using 33 psi on the oem 225 65 17 Scorpions ATR. Since new tires are wide and taller, we should donw the tire pressure, right? What psi are you using?

Since I was on the Yokohama tireshop, I could check also a 255 65 17, who is a 30,1 diameter. It fit but very tight. I prefer the safe side of the 245, that more than this has a white leathers option…
