    Anyone regret going to LT Load E tires?

    I got myself these Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT in 275/75R18. I could not be any happier. they are surprisingly quiet on highway for a fairly agressive tire. if you plan offroading it does work well.

    Mine were tested on a 160km dirt road fishing trip. The first 120km was a nice gravel road, I was running 110 km/h while everybody else had issue reaching 85 km/h with their smaller SUV. the last 40 KM was much rougher with max speed of 30 to 35 km/hrs and they were gripping very well. I have to...

    Yes it does swing out of the way. there are many models of hitch tire carrier out there and you can attach fuel pax or equipment like Hi-jack to it has they are rated 250 Lbs capacity and a wheel is usually around 50 lbs. If yo do a lot of offroad, the fact of having the tire right in the back...

    For Departure angle, a tow hitch tire carrier could be an option? https://galaxyauto.ca/products/spare-tire-carrier?_pos=1&_sid=2dd7b2a6b&_ss=r

    Absolutely... You need sidewall if you want to call it a truck. I am always amazed to see people put Mud tire on a 22 inch wheel with thin sidewalls. These people do it for the look not for real tough work. I use mine for hunting and fishing in the Quebec logging road. Some of those are no...

    My old 2008 I purchased used. when i tried to get them changed i was told they were extremely difficult to change and 3 broke in the block (which was not an isolated case on the Triton engine... actually very common) the truck was only at 65k miles at the time. To ovoid that you need to replace...

    Downsize 2019 platinum rims to 18” or 20”

    You are absolutely right this is a great website to find proper tire size for your truck. The O/D of a stuck expy is around 31.9 inch to 32.1 inch depending on wheel combo and it has been there forever. keep in mind that th O/D of the tire is what will effect the odo on the truck. my cooper are...

    Tires needed..............Highway mostly driven

    I just got these... https://www.offroadxtreme.com/engine-tech/wheels-tires/cooper-discoverer-at3-xlt-tire-review/ And I also came to the realization that the cooper product were really quiet. I saw no difference in noise between the street tire I was running and those pretty aggressive all...

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    Unfortunatly I cannot compare the two very well. my old truck was a regular wheel base and the new one is a platinum EL so it weight more and have a larger fuel tank. the feeling at the pump is more expensive... but you tend to forget that its less often... So far I do not notice a big...

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    I owned a 2008 expy with the V8 and changed it to a 2015 with the 3.5 ecoboost... the difference in power is way greater then I anticipated. this thing fly compare to the old v8. There are a ton of these ecoboost on the road now and they are pretty reliable. lots of them have hundreds of...

    Downsize 2019 platinum rims to 18” or 20”

    I pulled my 20 inch from my 2015 expy and purchased a set of 18. cheaper tires and more flange if you do offroad. I am a hunter and fisherman and I go where very few people go in roads that are sometime very questionnable. So I wanted more sidewall to take on rocks and bumps along the way. if...
