Pizza Cutter Blog Article: www.muddyruttzz.com/post/pizz... Mopar lift I had installed allowed me to put bigger tires on my Jeep Wrangler Ecodiesel. I decided on Toyo Open Country M/T 285/75/17 tires and Mopar steel wheels. In this video I tell you how I made my tire decision and why I chose “pizza Cutters.” I also show of my steel wheels. Hope you find the video interesting and useful.

285/75’s are not even close to being “pizza cutters”. However, they are a great tire size. I’ve run them in different tread patterns and load ratings on many different vehicles over the years. All of my driving is in a place where road, weather and driving conditions change not just seasonally, but also daily. I’ve stuck with them because they out perform narrower and wider tires in most driving conditions. As well, most tire shops have them in stock when I need them. Good choice, but again, not “pizza cutters”.

Michelin 8R19.5 load range F, on steel disc wheels. True "pizza cutters", these are nominal 33.5 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Each tire is rated to carry 3500 pounds. I run these on my 1971 International Harvester 1310. I love ❤ them. These probably wouldn't work well in sand, but my truck is not suited for sand. The best fuel economy i have achieved was 14.4 mpg with 4.875 gearing and no overdrive. With ethanol "enhanced" fuel i achieve slightly less. My truck is 5500 pounds empty.

@fuzzjunky Год назад

I am looking at getting 255/85R16 to fit on stock suspension with a 0mm offset wheel since my 2023 Tacoma has a 25mm factory offset and 265/70R16 tire. I am also looking for better mpg over flotation as I don’t really off road much and mainly commute. The hardest thing is for me to find a C load range. I like the Steelies look on an Overland rig. I am looking to get Volk Racing TE37XT’s 16x7.5 if possible (probably have to get 16x8), to get the rolling mass & unsprung weight less than stock.

You got me thinking. I got this from the Jeep Gladiator Forum. "Nitto has a 37x11.50 tire. Kenda Klever has a 35x10.50. I think there's a Super Swamper tire that's 35x9.50. If you wanted a pizza cutter 33" you can get the 255/80R17. " I myself was torn between tires I got and the Kenda Klevers. I wanted a American made tire or I would have got the Klevers.

@off-roadingexplained8417 Год назад

Just check the load inflation tables. It should go down a few PSI. Most LT titrs bottom out at about 35 though as the minimum whereas passenger tires will go all the way down to 26. It can be lower than 35 for LT tires but it usually requires a pretty large tire. Yours might be large enough to go below 35. In general , it takes 5-10 more PSI in an LT tire to hold the same weight. The difference is , LT tires START at 35 PSI... Passenger tires end at 35 PSI typically for the load carrying capacity regardless if the max pressure they can take is higher.

Not really pizza cutters, but they look great on that rig. Nice footprint. I like the utility look. And, much more practical for all the reasons you mentioned - especially the one about the daily driver aspect. Me too. I have a mint 1995 Grand Cherokee. Putting fatties on those looks so ghetto to me. I installed 30x9.50x15's KO2's mounted on early 2000's Ford Ranger steel rims - painted silver - not black. I think the black wheels must be a generational thing and I'm too old to appreciate it😉. 3" lift and it looks like it should have from the factory, instead of a soccer mom SUV. Narrow footprint, excellent roadbility, and enough grab so I can get to my back country camp spots. Still gets the factory 20mpg on the hiway and is very quiet.

The contact patch is actually the same (objectively measured by many people), but the patch is longer and less wide so it cuts through mud. The tires also deform easier and can wrap around edges.

I’m doing something similar with my ‘22 WILLYS Sport JEEP EcoDiesel truck. I was considering sticking with the 17” wheel but I knew I would have regretted it when it was all said and done. I’m going up to an 18” wheel and will be purchasing 285/75/18 Toyo Open Country RT/Trail tires. This is as close to a true 35” tall tire that you can get. I believe they are 34.8” inches tall mounted. A 35x12 isn’t 35 inches tall mounted. Living in Interior Alaska we have snow 7-8 months of the year and you simply get better traction with a narrower width tire. How is the Fox lift kit you put on the Wrangler holding up? I considered this lift early on too but I have settled on the AEV 2.5 RT Sport lift beings AEV utilizes Bilstein shocks which IMHO perform extremely well in extreme cold. Thanks for the video! Cheers from North Pole, Alaska! 🎅🏻🎄🇺🇸

I love pizza cutters. Better in snow and ice too. Typically better on fuel economy too. Not an exact science but I estimate every 1” of extra tire width = -1 mpg on Jeeps. If you go with an AT tread you can probably add another 2mpg over MTs.

@underjack Год назад

what? they are better in ice? In ice advising to use wider size as possible. And only they are good in snow when your engine is weak.

@steamman9193 Год назад

Yup in ice and snow you want a heavier psi load on it to grab whatever texture there is to it nature doesn’t make groomed ice rinks

@applesbighatranch6906 Год назад

Not so much tire width that affects fuel consumption as it is tire *weight* , then tread pattern (M/T having the greatest rolling resistance). Hanging a 100-lb wheel/tire assembly on something designed to roll +/- 60 lbs is why we see so many steering linkage and hub failures. Be careful with unsprung weight; it's not just a "peformance" detriment as it is asking to beat up your hubs and linkages. Flame away.

You made a good choice of tires, whether it’s on a car or truck most people assume wider is better but generally the benefit of a wider tire are few and far between. If you like the look of a fat tire you are giving up a lot for that look! More unsprung weight causes worse fuel economy,braking distance, acceleration, more suspension and steering wear and more likely to hydroplane. But for many people it’s all about the image and skinny tires don’t portray the image they want to portray. 😊

Awsm!…why not 255 or even less with the same tire height? …what’s the load rating of those bad boys as a C load rating?… keep in mind the load rating is when the tire is at road pressure & it drops, as the psi drops …so it’s better to go with a tire that has a high load rating, so it’s still enough when you air down.

285s are pizza cutters now? I had 285/75 and then 315/75 on 16s on my truck and one inch larger wheel doesn't a pizza cutter make, IMO. Terminology aside, I think you chose a great tire and wheel setup for your application and it looks great. Next time, try the 255/80r17 on those same wheels. THAT is a pizza cutter, since they are the same diameter but 1.5" narrower and can be mounted to wheels that are 7.5" wide. And they have the same load rating.

@dluxx7378 8 месяцев назад

Not just overlanding, offroading period. Tests prove those narrow tires break down faster when deflated to the same PSI as wider tires. They leave a larger contact patch when deflated when measuring total area. They also do a better job of just kind of flowing over the top of an obstacle where wider tires still bump over again at the same PSI. Add in the increases in mileage, less wear on your vehicles suspension and drivetrain components, add in improved sound and comfort and it's a no brainer. I recently bought a Wrangler with 12.5" wide MT tires and can't wait to repalce them with more narrow tires.

I wouldn't say a 285 is pizza cutter. 255 would be pizza cutter in my opinion.

For me its a visual guage but you have a good point!

@Michaelg0221 Год назад

Great video. I think “pizza cutters” have a place. My personal experience is a 295/75R17 would have been a better choice. Reason is it’s slightly taller then those and obviously the advantages are clearances and the fact that on the highway the diesel will actually do better on fuel because you’re grearing it down. Ie the stock 3.73 goes to a 3.55. The diesel makes up for that and prefers the lower gear ratio. Next would be overlanding I wouldn’t necessarily agree a 6ply sidewall is a great setup. And e rated tire you drop 7 psi and it will ride the same as a c on road. Next would be off road. I agree in ways you do need to run lower pressures but you really only need to drop to 15psi vs 18. Personally I’ve never popped or burped a tire at those pressures. But towing off road it’s no just the weight advantage it’s when you side load a tire that light it has a higher chance of popping off. Next would be impacting the tire the e is just a stronger tire. Last but not least “I love the steel wheels” but to be fair their not really stronger off road in the real world “unless your talking about driving out on a flat tire”. Their been a ton of people “and myself included” that used to believe that adage. But after 21 years off road I’ve gotten “more damage” with a steel rim vs a aluminum rim. Yes if you bend a steel rim it could be fixed. But it almost never happens. Great video and very helpful to some in ways.

@MuddyRuttzz Год назад

I would recommend finding larger tires that fit on stock size rims for Overlanding if your ok with it. I’m trying to reduce extra stress on suspension parts. No crazy offset wheels or spacers.

I decided on steelies when a saw a new Bronco driving on the highway.

@davidanderson8469 Год назад

One drawback to the steel wheels is the qualityand consistentcy of the welds. Balance issues can happen.

@MuddyRuttzz Год назад

I thought buying the Mopar I could avoid low quality.

@johnmadsen37 Год назад

Lol. Tires are the most simple decision. Narrow tires are the best so you can really hit stuff directly against the rocks and trees so direct damage can happen. The lesser traction is just the topping on the dummy cake.

@kennymiller8217 Год назад

Yes but most quality tires like Mickey Thompson BAJA BOSS or even KO2s taper right at the tread which has nothing to do with being wide , they are like this because its better to be wider from the bottom in mud and other nasty stuff , my tires are 35s , 12.8 inches at the width and taper to 10 inches at the tread . If yout running those tires you have they get real loud as they age and wear fast because of the compounds , if your a avid offroader going all the time those are gpod but if you only go here and there a A/T is better .

@MuddyRuttzz Год назад

Thanks for the info. I don’t drive much other than my Overlanding trips. 5 day trips are about 1000 road miles and 100 to 300 off road miles. M/Ts give me a advantage especially since this Jeep doesn’t have lockers.

@kennymiller8217 Год назад

@@MuddyRuttzz i see ', dont get me wrong , i love your Jeep and your setup , those are nice tires for real , its such a tough decision to choose a tire because you really never know when the one you chose will come in handy but you chose an awesome mud tire so you will always be prepared , i chose the Mickey Thompson A/T but im not going to lie im not sure if i should have went with a mud ?

Jeep Gladiators spare tire comes mounted on a steelie. Check to see if you can get those maybe? I watch John Cadogan's RU-vid from Australia. He has nothing good to say about the Jeep Dealer network there. Thanks!

@scootypuffjr. Год назад

Not pizza cutters. 255/80 17 would be a similar height pizza cutter.

@mrtopcat2 11 месяцев назад

The reason why I like to stay with near stock size tires is simply because a) they work for me and b) I am no longer a stallion, I am happy if I can muscle the stock size up/down the spare carrier. 😀

You need to equalize the sound volume over the video, from having to max out all volume settings just to hear what you are saying to scrambling to keep my speakers from blowing out makes this video unwatchable, in my opinion.

@RealJeep Год назад

I question your mileage results. Unless you recalibrate your speedometer to your new tire size your mileage will be in error. There are formulas to determine final drive ratio after you change tire height, but you'll have to Google that yourself.

@MuddyRuttzz Год назад

I used a ECRI to re-program the computer for new tire size. On a recent trip that included highway and off-road driving while towing my Xventure XV3 I got about 20mpg.

@underjack Год назад

That's a size only for mpg and other economy. They are very bad in hard situations

A 285 is not really a pizza cutter at all, a 265 could barely qualify. 235, 245, 255/85R16 9.5, 7.50R16 etc... These all are true pizza cutters
