Default Pic's please 285/75R18

Just like to see some pic's if any of you are running this size tire on a stock 18" wheel. Especially if you're running Toyo AT2's, but any will do. Planning on going to this when my 275/70's wear out. No spacers

I have these but they are the xtreme's.
Also have 1-1/2" spidertrax spacers.

Fabulous tire. This pic is in Moab last September.

How did they measure up when installed? I'm going to pick on you because not many people run this size tire and I didn't expect a big response. I won't be running spacers, trying to avoid that and based on what i'm seeing I should be fine. I'm running a 275/70 now which is basically the same width. I've got plenty of clearance for a 35, as I could actually fit a 37 but I have no intentions of going that tall.

Oh yes, I ran through this thread and a few others before posting up. No one actually had the specific size tire I am looking at. It's an awkward size honestly, and there are only a handful of options for it. I don't think I found but 4 tire models in that size... The Toyo makes 3 of them.

Are you having problems with your current tire or did they just wear down? I'm asking because I'm looking at getting the master crafts in 37"

Oh no, not a single problem. All said and done, i'll have 45-50K on them when they finally wear out. Hands down the best MT i've ever had for lots of reasons. The ONLY reason i'm switching up is I don't have any interest in buying new wheels or using spacers when I move up to 35" tires. Only solution is to go with a narrow 35. I actually called and emailed cooper to try and get them to make the MXT in the size I need. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA If you're in the market for a MT , you won't be disappointment with the Mastercraft in any department.

Spec wise they should be 34.8"
On the ground at 35psi they measure 34"
I had them down to 10 psi in Moab and they performed excellent.
I actually got comments on them from the die hard duratrac guys.
I have 1.5" spacers NOT 2" like I said and with the sway bar disconnected and at full lock I get a little rubbing of the tire on the sway bar.
I like the narrower tire as it allows the tire to go up into the fender flare at full flex.
These tires run nice on the highway but are also very capable off road.
I recommend them to anyone that will listen
