Help Please...Wheels

[Madcowranch]

I have the Toyo OC muds on 17" Methods but I switch back to the stockers whenever I'm taking a road trip.

Also just to help u out 99% of my driving is hwy. But for me piece of mind knowing if i get in a jam and need to get out of it these tires will for sure. And one more thing if u drive gravel i have great luck with the mud grapplers. At TRR my tires weren't chunked out like everyone else's. When i put these new ones on after TRR i grabbed a set for my dads truck for his feed truck to drive up and down gravel roads and in pastures. So far he has nothing but good thinks to say about it and before he would be stuck in 4x4 and now he never really needs 4x4. But they really r very loud and after about 30mins most of my passengers fall asleep due to the hump they make. My YouTube video of my cutout has the sound at the very end.

These things are in total opposition to each other. If you're not going to be doing much off-roading then these are a terrible choice. They're going to produce a ton of road noise, get bad wear, and not very good road grip. I don't mean to call you a poser but that's exactly what you're doing. It's your truck though so do whatever you want! I just don't understand why you'd even buy a Raptor if you don't intend to use it off-road.....

Have you ever driven a truck on pavement with mud terrain tires for long periods?

If I were you I'd rethink my decision and go with something in the T/A category like the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A rather than an M/T class tire. These still give you an aggressive looking tire but with much less road noise and much better pavement performance.

Sorry...but you're either referring to old school M/T tires or are simply extremely uninformed. I personally have put 35,000+ miles on a set of Toyo Open Country M/Ts and put 10,000 on my current set of Nitto Trail Grappler M/Ts. The Toyos are by far the premiere mud terrain that are able to accomplish the impossible: great performance both on-road and off-road. On road they are not loud at all and if you keep them properly rotated and balanced, they never will be. They are good on wet pavement, comfortable, durable, balance well, and are long lasting for an M/T. Also, they look extremely aggressive and are a perfect fit for a Raptor. The only drawbacks to Toyo M/Ts are the price the weight and even at that, they are not far off from most other M/Ts in either category.

The Trail Grapplers on the other hand, while not nearly as loud as the Mud Grapplers still put up a good hum upwards of 45mph. If I had to do it over again, I'd have purchased Toyos. However, they seem to be wearing just as well as the Toyos and were about $200 less for a set of 4. They were also readily available when I needed new tires and the Toyos were 2 weeks away in the size I needed.

All this being said, whether you're riding on 15s or 24s, a street queen or dirt lover, if you want the look of a M/T while maintaining outstanding offroad and on-road performance, the Toyo M/T is the best bang for the buck.

Couldn't have said it better

WOW! LOL I am a poser! thats okay though! I still love the choice we went with for wheels and tires and I still am VERY excited to become a raptor owner!

We have Ordered something in between to satisfy both my and my husbands likes. We went with 18's. Fuel Hostage in black and the Toyo Open Country MT Tires. This seemed to be a good compromise for us both and a great fit for us. Thanks to all the help of you guys. The Offset thing helped. And we are def going to raise it to mid perch and have already contacted someone ab that.

I thought ab not even explaining myself as to the fact that I am a poser bc I dont necassarily have alot of off road options in the flat state of northern indiana wear I live, however still wanted to order and wait for the truck like all of the off road enthusiast, because simply It is the only ford truck i liked! It reminded me of home. (Alabama) where I am from. I was raised muddin four wheelers and then in trucks after I got my big girl *******. I love muddin, love the country and it was MY idea to order not my husbands. Putting new tires on it.. was also my idea because I enjoy the more aggressive look like I was always a custom too growing up. I will be driving it more on the highway but did not want the street queen look and do not like the stock tires and wheels. All Terrain tires really dont look much different to me that regular tires. The noise doesnt scare me at all, as I plan to also pose it up some more and put a FlowMaster Super 44 on it. I like them loud. I also was the one wanting the grapplers and didnt mind sounding like a jet plane coming down the road.

The raptor order was a choice whether off roading or not. When I go home in it.. I will be tearing up the red dirt roads and doing whatever else we can get ourselves into.. but that will be very minimal as we dont go home much. Personally i dont care what anyone thinks...poser or not. We are gonna make our truck bad a$$ even though we are having to learn a few things because it is a special truck.

Thanks again for yalls help. I will post a pic of the truck as we add the other things we are planning to do with it. We plan to change out the bumper as well and have gotten some special decals made for it. So I will post pics for all of you too see as we learn and make progress on the truck!

That set up will look awesome!!! If you want loud you might think about a cutout like I and a few others have done. Plus its cheaper usually than doing other exhaust mods. Plus you can close it if you don't want it loud for some reason. I will say they get really really nasty in the upper RPM range! DMH low profile is the cutout I went with.

I still need to make a better video. I was in a hurry and the GF didn't know how to open and close it fully haha She knows now though

BHAHAHA It was late last night and my phone did its own thing....

So did that actually happen driving your truck or when the kiddos threw mud at it when you weren't home?

Or should I say when you werent home and they took it for a spin!

ISFast....Music to my ears! Sounds Awesome!

ISFast...Can you measure how tall the area is right above the step board? We are getting a door decal made that fits in that area. The graphics guy is ready to print and our truck wont be here until monday. The little area that kinda looks like a line across the body. he called it a body line. If you get a chance that will be great. I tried to ask the dealer and he said "huh" lol thanks!

If he doesn't i can get one later for you. Immediate guess would be about 10"

 

[RAPTORHOFFGIRL]

That would be great! I am thinking going a tab bit bigger than the ones I have seen. not much but a litter. The ones I have seen are 4x16. I am thinking at least 18 inches long..just got to figure out the height. thank you!
