There is skid plate there already that does a fine job of protecting your battery and an additional 15-20mm air gap after the OEM skid plate. So no you don't need this to go off rode or F around. But if you are going to be around jagged rocks the armor package and steel sliders are worth it. For...
I am seeing no change in driving efficiency.
In fact I drove to Portland and back round trip before and after my instillation and both time I used 78% of my battery to do it.
You are correct and I was hoping not to get into using a slightly different size tire. But I wanted the LT in the EV format. The closest I could get is the 275/65R20 which is about a 1% difference in overall diameter which is minimal. For a 55lbs LT tire it's hard to beat. And I am not seeing...
I am running toyo open country III EV E rated 126.123S LT tires max load 3750 lbs
Correct and you can go to 80 with E rated tires if needed. So I got the red letter of a warning for overinflation when I was at 60. Nothing at 56 where I have them now. I have core wheels and changed my wheel...
I am running 60 PSI as recommend for E rated tires not there max which is 80. Running a higher pressure for the same load is what is recommended for a 10 ply E rated tire. This was set by Discount tire's calculator as well as Toyo's chart. Toyo explanation below.
LT-metric is an E rated tire...
Max PSI for an E rated tire is 80 lbs so I am running 60 lbs to start with which has ben recommended by discount tire etc. The problem I'm having is that I get a tire pressure warning that I am exceeding the recommended pressure. Anyone know how to deal with this??
Thanks
I am running them but LT275/65R20 and they are about 1% smaller than stock.
So far 500 miles seems to be similar to the Goodyear ATR efficiency but with an E rated tire. Surprisingly they both weigh 55 lbs.
I carry both of the above and feel pretty confident I can patch almost anything except a large side blow out. And if that happened I would have bigger fish to fry.
