Falken AT4W - 285/65/18 - SL anyone?

[tacorancher]

Anyone try this tire configuration on their rig? If so, can you post pictures? I've got the Falkens in LT275/70/18 and they are amazing in every way except they ride hard and considering moving to an SL, but hesitant to lose the extra ground clearance I've gained with the taller tires (33.43" versus 32.6"--YES, it makes a big difference despite the small numbers on paper as our sidewalls on 18" wheels are so short - I have gained about 0.4" ground clearance in the back and 0.25" up front). Also, if anyone has experience with a standard or C load offering in this exact size, please post (Grabber ATX, Nitto G3, or anyone else who offers one--a strong recommendation would be great).

I put the AT4Ws on my Trailhunter yesterday in 265/70/18 SL, stock size. It's slightly taller than a 285/65/18 on paper. I'll let you know how they go. I wanted to stay away from a LT tire due to the weight and ride difference.

Taller? I thought both were 32.6”

I’m on my ranch now and while I don’t like the ride quality of the LT AT4Ws, they are fucking beasts off-road .. jagged rocks, aggressive grades, the tires don’t give a crap. Super tough. And aired down they ride nice. I am trying to sort out whether someone in Houston can “hotel” my tires like they do up north so that I can buy an SL for around town and then throw on the LTs for the ranch.
