Just back from the tire shop where my 7033's will be arriving soon. They checked the tread depth in my DT 265's which I got early fall, said they can give me full refund on them, paying only the regular difference on 285's. Planning on getting the Teraflex leveling kit and found a shop where a guy says he is very familiar with that and can install it easily... (and quickly which wouldn't be the case if I attempted it!) When I was younger every time I got a new car (late 70's to mid 80's models) the first thing I did was shim it up and but the largest tires and sharp wheels on it I could. That isn't stylish anymore, but at the time, we use to have a 'mini' dream cruise nearly right outside my front door. Cars of all sorts, some race cars, souped up cars, muscle cars, they would come from all around our county... It was so much fun back in the early 90's. I woke up last night and thought, I lifted those cars and invested in wheels and tires. and that wasn't even for usefulness sake. Now I have a Jeep and I made no allowances to lift it? So that's when I looked into upgrading the tires, and was pleased with how helpful they were. The question now being... should I get the fifth wheel as well or just leave the 265 on the back as spare, hoping I won't need it, and only rotating 4. when you guys are wheeling, is it common to slice or blow tires needing that spare??? Is the stock spare carrier able to support the heavier weight of a 285?
