Oh, those are great tires. Have them on my Explorer.

Question about Torque Pro, every few days my display for oil pressure and oil temp stop functioning, have to uninstall, then install Torque to get them back, any ideas? And anybody else getting radio interference when charging their tablet for Torque, and or a smartphone, and how to stop it?

Thas very odd... I have not ran into that problem... and as far as the charging issue with radio interference I wouldnt
know if I had that issue yet... the wife so far has been behind me and us talking on the phone while driving to the
tire shop.. I have not as much put 150 miles on this van yet lol....
hope some one will chime in and help you out on the torque problem... Mine has linked every time since
I bought that new ELM 327.... I have not had any of my apps fall out and stop working.
thats strange..

These wheels looks so good and I want them! What car are the rims off of? But I have a serious concern. Your 265/70R17 tires are 3.6% larger in diameter than stock, and are the same in size as 265/75R16 I had installed for a short time. My front wheels rubbed in hard turns, so yours must be rubbing too. May not rub when sitting in the driveway, but will in real world maneuvering. Not making hard turns is not an option as you can guess...

I have driven the van since the wheels and tires were installed...
I can make full left and full right turn Nothing hits....
I have driven express way and back roads we went to
cracker barrel the other day used the parking lot NO Rub...
so if your talking rubs while being compressed... or over bumps...
I can say I went over 2 speed bumps.. NO Rub....
you mention hard cornering. ..... What was rubbing on yours?
like I mentioned before post the 285/70/17 rubbed the sway bar at full
extream turns. But these tires Do Not Rub.

I finally found a tail pipe tip that I wanted and it fit.. lol

I added 3" lift spindles by Weldtec Designs and 265x75x16 tires on this Explorer van conversion. Also added 2" blocks in the rear to level it out and fox shocks at all 4 corners. Keeping it simple and clean with a little additional ground clearance for this 2 wheel drive van.
