I wont argue the offroad performance. Winter/snow Performance is a whole different ball game to say the least.
Not sure if the grabbers are really considered cheap anymore. Last I checked they are within $10 of the ko2’s most places. I wonder if it’s because there are so many complaints of the BFGs wet performance. I’ve prob run 5 sets of of BFGs and they have a lot to like but they spin out in the rain pretty easily especially on a light pickup.
If you look at the tread pattern between the two the general Grabbers are essentially a cheap knockoff of the KO 2.
And Ford probably wanted to avoid OTS (oval tire syndrome) that BFGs seem to be noted for.
Umm if you are not already aware the tremor already comes with bigger than stock(non tremor models) tires for what Ford can approve. Also remember that if you bought a Tremor is is due to the fact you wanted to buy a truck instead of build it the way you want it to be. Let me guess, you are thinking about changing the shocks on it to huh?
Lol, not necessarily different shocks, although I am kind of thinking I want more of a lift then what the Tremor comes with. And I also know that the Tremor comes with a little bigger tire then a regular Lariat, which is what I was looking for originally. The tremor comes with a 32in but it's actually closer to 31 and a 1/2 inches, and I would like something closer to a 33. So I'm thinking a slight level in the front along with crash bar modifications or replacement would be needed for that tire size.
If all you want to do is fit the bigger tire size like 2857 do yourself a favor keep the stock tires and go with the firestone destination XT period If anything you might have to bump out the front wheels by a quarter inch just because of the wider wheels from the factory but other than that you should be okay period you might have to change the crash bars but with the suspension you have you will be fine period
If I could fit that size without a lift or leveling kit I probably wouldn't mess with that.
I recently just put that tire on there in that size on the factory Sport Wheels with the old man emu lift kit which still isn't far off from the trimmer for front lift. I want to say I'm maybe half an inch higher than what your truck is on just suspension lift and I have minimal to no rubbing without spacers. Mind you the sport wheels are also half an inch shorter on with compared to the wheels you have so therefore you might run into an issue because of the extra width on the Wheel
Was this issue ever resolved by the Ford dealership you purchased from??Just picked up my 2021 XLT Tremor last week. Truck is amazing so far, aside from a tire clearance issue on the front drivers side wheel that results in tire rub when turning full lock.
You can see in the attached photo exactly what the problem is. I’ve taken it to the dealer where they took pictures and began investigating. They said this is the first Tremor they have seen so have nothing to compare it to. Can anyone else with a Tremor confirm if their clearance is any better?
How do you even tackle an issue like this? What could be adjusted to fix this so it doesn’t rub? Is this just the way all Tremors were built?
Any thoughts are appreciated! Otherwise love the truck and relative to my 2020 XLT Sport it rides and handles like a completely different vehicle.
