Sorry, I responded to this, this morning. The response musta been lost, or I forgot to hit enter. I’m sorry I didn’t measure the height of the tire with the vehicle weight on it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. If you haven’t, please consider subscribing and have a blessed day.
No not really. My MPG has gone down about 3mpg. I have run into issue with tire rub when I cross railroad tracks or potholes. Time to address that! Thanks for the comment.
@@DunnageGarage true size of geolander At extreme 315x70x18 vs toyo 35x12.5x18. Trying to determine what will fit on my Sahara 2016 wrangler. I have a 2.25 front leveling kit with 2. In leveling kit on rear. Concern about tire rubbing. I k ow I can use a spacer just trying to avoid spacer.....thanks
@@ronhuggins696 I cannot answer your question, completely.... the Geos are 34.8 and the Toyos are 34.84 FOR 17" rims...I do not know if the different wheel size effects tire size. I am running a 3.5" lift and aftermarket wheels with different back spacing and have not had any issues with rubbing. Try going to TireRack.com (not sponsored), that's where I got most of my actual tire size measurements. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@DunnageGarage I appreciate ur quick response. However I do have another few questions. I lean more toward the toyo At3 35x12.5x18. This comes in a D rated tire.( Less weight). The geolander extreme comes in a 315x70x18 a great size but rated ( E.) Which will be a stiffer ride? ....it's a 10ply. looking for something comfortable in long trip yet some off roading capability. Question? When you install new wheels w/ off set stance in rim.... then add a 1.5 spacer. Does this not go against the articulation and engineering design? possibly resulting in more ware on the axle less life in the ware of your tire? Last question? Just say I wanted to go from a 2.5 " leveling kit to a 3.25 suspension lift. Will I get a better ride? Will this change my steering ? Thanks. Sorry to keep bothering you.
@@ronhuggins696 1st and foremost you are not bothering me! You are asking a lot of questions, so let me lead off with this... I am not a tire person, a mechanic (though I sometimes play one on RUclips) or an engineer. My thoughts would be that a 10-ply tire would be stiffer than a less ply tire, I am guessing there would be less flex when you air down too. I have ran wheel spacers but removed them as soon as possible. Now let's look at the wheels and the spacers. The only reason I bought spacers was that it is cheaper than buying the correct offset wheels. As soon as the new wheels arrived with the proper offset, I removed the spacers, I would never run both. As for offset wheels, or spacers, they set your wheel further out from the frame. This is done so you do not rub the frame or control arms with the bigger tires. If you go too wide, then you run into the tires hitting the body/fenders when stuffing them during articulation. If your Jeep is a "mall crawler" then its less of a concern. If your Jeep is a rock crawler, then it's a major concern. If your Jeep falls somewhere in the middle...you need to also fall in the middle. Now let's look at the last couple of questions. If you buy a $200 el-cheap-o lift it will ride poorly and articulate even worse, and yes effect the steering. If you buy a full kit costing several thousand that includes control arms, shocks, break lines, steering correction that is fully engineered to work together (not mixed and matched) your Jeeps ride COULD be amazing; or ok but have sick articulation! Here us the last and most important question you asked: YES, adding wider, or bigger, or heavier tires, lift kits, or any of the things you asked about will affect the wear of the components of the Jeep. The stock parts were not built for the extra weight or strain... You will wear out or break parts, especially if you use it for what it is built for. Also, not all suspension lifts are built the same! My old TJ had a long arm kit from a big-name company, I had to replace the control arm bushings annually! Matt had the same kit for his JK and also had to replace the control arm bushings each year. My JK has a different companies lift and uses a lot of factory components and has far outlasted the other brands parts. That was a huge selling point for me. I plan on doing a 50-state road trip and want the peace of mind to knowing I can find factory bushing at any dealership. While I'm on this soap box... there is a third big name company that has problems with springs that start to sag. That all said, decide what you want your Jeep for and build it for that. Do not be afraid to spend money and get the right parts first, don't buy cheap only to replace them later. It took 15 years for me to dial in my TJ, you do not have to do it all at once. Remember Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket...then get a loan! Again, thanks for watching, asking, and subscribing....This means a lot more to me than you may guess! God Bless and feel free to ask even more if you need too.
I've been running the Patagonia's for a couple of years now, and am completely happy with their performance.
Matt has been running them for quite a while too. He is also very happy with them. Thanks for the comment.
I never thought to measure the height of the tire with vehicle weight on them, sorry.
When u were measuring your tires and the body distance , what was the true height of the 35s with the weight of the vehicle? Thanks.....nice video..

Nice video! Can you tell a difference in street driving acceleration?
No not really. My MPG has gone down about 3mpg. I have run into issue with tire rub when I cross railroad tracks or potholes. Time to address that! Thanks for the comment.
Question? What was the true height of the tire. Is it a 34.8?
Which tire are you asking about? At the beginning of the video I showed a chart with the tire heights, if that doesn’t help let me know!

It's EXACTLY like spinal tap "this one goes to 11" ... This one goes to 35 lol....
