Jeff, you swayed my decision on tire size by introducing 35x11.5x17 this morning! I was certain 285/75/17 was my limit on 7.5 wheels while staying within the fender flares. Game changer on these 11.5's especially in a load range C. I'm running 285/70 so jumping to a 35, adding a set of .75-1" coil spacers should do the trick. Since the 35x 11.5 tires are basically 285 width and I have no existing rubbing, I shouldn't need to adjust the steering stops with these 35" tires at 11.5. I already have a R/C spare relocation bracket installed, so that's just waiting for the larger tire.Good morning, Mike!
At about 28 psi cold, 30-31 hot, the ride is perfect! I was skeptical of LR E too, but now I’m a fan. Presumably, with lower PSI, it allows the sidewalls to “work” - to flex and help absorb bumps, etc, on and off-road. By the way, I don’t air-down when we go off-road, even on extremely challenging trails.
I and my wife are quite comfortable, and we are both disabled, with spine and other issues.
