18" tire question - ANOTHER UPDATE

[specta]

Was in this forum where someone was taking about 18' tires with a 4000lb load rating??

Trying to find them.

UPDATE BELOW







The pick up some nice size ricks between the lugs when you leave the pavement and when you're back on the road they can bang pretty loud when they hit inside the fenderwell.

Other than that so far so good. 🙂

Well they're not smooth and quiet like my Michelins but I knew that when I ordered them.

They ride like truck tires unlike my Michelins that were smooth as glass and quiet. 😉

I like them only because they will handle more weight and I really like the wheels.

Great combo for me and my truck.

I bought them online from Walmart and they were here in 3 days.

I had Walmart's tire center mount and balance them for me, $51.

I'm happy.

I ordered my tires from Walmart yesterday and I will have them tomorrow.

Real Truck told me to give their accounting department up to 7 days to refund my money.

It kills me that they take it soo quickly yet drag their a$$ to return it.

I received two emails from Real Truck after ordering the tires asking if I was still interested in them. Seriously? And emails every day since placing my order on specials that they are running.

Me?? I am running from Real Truck.

GO Walmart!!

Wow... didn't realize there is a back log on these items too!
I got tires late this spring from TR with no issues, but that was for an automobile.

They're on back order with Tire Rack - that's the first place I went.

Walmart was cheaper than Tire Rack too.

8 days after ordering my tires from Real Truck I had not yet received a shipping date or tracking number so I cancelled the order which took them a few days to do because they had to verify where they were (they had no idea themselves if they had been shipped or not) being shipped from and if they had even been shipped.
I ordered them this morning from Walmart, they'll be here Thursday.

Good choice! Last set I had, I siped them and they were phenomenal in the snow.

Thanks Jim, I think I will be too.

I think you’ll be pleased with them. They aren’t the cheapest, but they are very good tires.

they don't make Nitto Terra Grappler tires in the sizes I'm looking at. 😞

Yeah, they do.
265-70
275-65
275-70
All heavy LT load rating.

Also make the Toyo M55 in your sizes (not the M655, that's the 19.5" med duty tire line).
Not sure where you're researching, but the sizes you are planning are super common sizes.

The link provided only showed one size in 18".

That's as far as I went.
