Hey Sheltie... how are the new tires in terms of road noise on the freeway? I’m still with the stock tires and I like the quiet ride. How would you rate the difference in road noise?

They do hum somewhat, so not quiet. I would say on a scale of 1-10 (10 being very noisy) I would rate them 5. You can definitely hear passengers talking, the radio, etc. They are not E rated so definitely not as noisy as BFG, Duratrac, etc. I’ve had really good luck with the Nitto Terra Grapplers and why I chose this tire.

Hey,

I have been thinking about going with 265/50R20. It looks really good.

Did you notice any power loss or noticeable MPG loss with the bigger tires?

Did your ride height increase with the tires?

Sorry, I just saw your question. Thank you
I have not noticed any power loss. I have the Ecco turned off
No loss of MPG - I’m getting 21.2 combined city/highway
Ride height did increase about 3/4, almost an inch.

How do you like the seat covers? I have a sport and considering the leatherette ones.

I think your PP looks great! Any downsides to putting the larger tires on the stock wheels from your research?

New to the forum so just seeing these pictures. Great looking tires. I was curious about the size and what they’d look like as I’m looking into the same ones for my EXL.
