Turns out I got two bald spots so my front two are going to be replaced tomorrow.

Also, they're balancing them with 6.5 oz of weight about lol. That's a LOT of weight compared to everybody I've talked to.

That is a lot of weight, as a matter of fact 1/2 that is still a lot of weight. Sounds like you've got some out of round wheels or tires or both. If you were running 37" mudders it might be normal to need 6+ ounces.

You're not going to necessarily get more miles out of your tires if you put more pressure in them. Too much pressure can wear your tires out even faster than underinflation. 55 pounds isn't enough to do any harm but 40 pounds will get you the same wear and is alot more comfortable.

Yeah, I'm going to call the other tire places in town to see how much they normally balance the KOs with.

Is there any problem with running that many ounces on there? I don't mind it but I can feel it in the steering (and even in the braking).

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this.
Before with the factory tires the spedo was not reading correct according to my GPS, it always read abuot 2MPH fast. I guess the difference in tire diameter corrected the spedo.
When I check it manually I am always within a tenth of what the computer tells me. Last time I checked it was 14.9 but that was mainly city driving for work. I actually have not driven my truck in a couple weeks since I got a Honda Accord to run around in for work. Right now the Tundra is sitting pretty in the driveway and will be used for towing on the weekends.

Michilin Piolit LTX 275/65/18 Looking for best street Driving performance tire for my 2-wd , I hope it's better than the Stock Bridgestone Dueler 255/70/18 that came on the Truck from Toyota.
I just wanted to get the lowest rated profile street truck tire i could get for my 18- wheels. And wanted to try and eliminate some body roll in turns. I have just installed a TRD rear sway bar and it has really resolved 75-80 % of it and hoping lower profile tires take it to the next level.
considering going with Camburg Eng Front upper Uni Arm Kit along with there Coil over Shock system .

Have a look at this thread Tires for SR5...18" We were just discussing BFG A/T traction on ice and snow.

They are great in the snow. I can plow through tall snow with no problem in my 4x4 Silverado. Great traction.
