who's running 245/65R17 tires?

[fossil]

Looking at Falken Wildpeak AT3W All Season Radial Tire-245/65R17 111T for a Tremor
Little more money than KO2s but a half inch taller and wider while five pounds lighter @ 39# according to Amazon.
On my second set of KO2s on the Raptor and know those tires pretty well and know they're not the greatest on snow while the Falkens have a better snow rating.

Planning on swapping them out at delivery, I have an inside guy .

Question to y'all is, any rubbing from width during turning or in articulation?

The question I would like the answer to is what do the 245's do to the accuracy of the speedo and the accuracy of the mpg computer?

As to the OP's question, you will love the peaks in all conditions. Quiet, good in the rain and in snow, even in deep snow. We run them on our Cherokee. I will put them on the Mav if and when it comes.

They look great too. What I like about the looks is they do not have that overly aggressive blocky sidewall tread design.

245/65R17 is the most popular oversized AT setup on here for the Maverick that also boasts a lack of rubbing at stock height and wheel offset. There's also a gent on here that's running 255/65R17 Wildpeaks and asserts no rubbing at stock height.

Wow, thanx Redd. Those numbers look great for me. Appreciate the effort to post that.

Not a problem bud. I've been obsessing over tires for the past few weeks anyways lol.

No problems with these tires for me….know this size of tire cannot be used as a spare.

 

[Rivers90]

Watch this.

Wow. I would not have guessed 245/70r17 would fit.
That is a big tire.

Going from Tremor size 235s to 245s is only 1.7% larger diameter according to the tiresize.com Redd posted not the 3.5% when compared to 225s Redd posted. Thanks Redd either way for showing the web site. Not a big hairy deal size wise.
Funny that these "Wildpeak All Season" tires look more aggressive than their "Wildpeak All Terrain" tires but hey it's their company and they can call them what they like. Initially thought it was an Amazon mistake but Tire Rack agrees so it is what it is.

My 245/65R17 Toyo Open Country III fits underneath.

I run them, they're not the quietest things on the normal roads but have been amazing in snow.

Blake is my favorite Maverick Video Owner on YouTube. His videos are great.

You got it. I referenced the 225s simply because it's the standard size for the Maverick, with the 235s being optional. I do admit I forgot you specified it being a Tremor as opposed to a standard Mav though.

As for the Wildpeaks, I presume you're referring to the Wildpeak AT3W vs the Wildpeak AT Trail? If so, the AT3s are, indeed, their full all terrain offering, with the Trails meant as a somewhat milder alternative, specifically meant for CUVs and light-duty trucks. Oddly enough though, the less aggressive Trails don't even have the benefit of being really any lighter. Not that they're a poor option or anything.

I was surprised that the Trails weigh more than the classic AT3Ws. That's why I went Toyo. Weight savings is significant.
