I’m a old guy and would never spend that money for big wheels and tires on my F150, but man they look so good on a truck and them young folks look like their having a great time with those big tire trucks so I give them a 👍, drugs drinking women or modifying your truck, probably the cheapest addiction.

[@patriot5526]

Many owners of 4X4 trucks put larger tires on their trucks as their first modification. It looks cool, but accomplishes little, other than excessive wear, as you stated. My feeling is that auto makers spend millions of dollars designing these trucks for their specific intended use, and after market parts producers do not. I have a 2019 Power Wagon, and literally everyone thinks the stock tires are too small, and they change them immediately. I can honestly say, living in Montana, I have rarely met an off road obstacle that I couldn’t conquer with the stock set up.The few times I have do not justify the expense of larger tires, suspension upgrades, and the increased cost of maintenance.

[@SteveSabbai]

Keeping my truck the way it came from the factory is easier and cheaper to maintain.

[@rickp00234]

Great info to all the ones that have no clue about bearings and suspension. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ccolin113]

I put 305/40/24 on my 06 yukon denali and ive had 0 issues. No noises. Drives incredible and gas is about the same with stock.

[@BruddaChimpDaBoss]

More likely it is the negative wheel offset putting the additional load on the bearing not the oversized tires on its own.

[@grunkalunka3449]

Yep. Unsprung weight. Gyroscopic precession. All multiplies greatly.

[@wolfeadventures]

Just replace stock tire size with more aggressive off road tires of the same size. Use stock wheel size.

[@arcadiaoutlaw]

I’ve changed wheel bearings on trucks with stock wheels & tires. That being said, the trucks running excessive offsets are way more prone to failure. I’ve seen a few trucks where the wheels have actually fallen off.

[@watzenggo2446]

I have a 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. I got it brand new, and after two years of owning it, I lifted it 3" with 31's tires and 17" with -12 offset wheels. As of now, the truck has 202000 miles in it so far I have no issues it is still factory-installed wheel bearing.

[@djjerryspringer4840]

Finally I being waiting for someone to talk about this

[@luvthigod]

I choose to do the wheel bearings because I love the look of my savana and the ride got softer with the big tires… it’s not for everyone

[@2SlyLures]

Depends on how you use your truck, I got my truck stuck twice and bent a front facade bracket on my trail boss. I leveled it put on 35s and it drives soooo much better. Same spots where I had issues are not even of concern. So yes if you are doing it for looks know it may cost you some suspension if you are off road a lot just suck it up and upgrade because it will actually save you money in the long run.

[@briank.3539]

That is why buying a factory built 4x4, with 35’s or larger is the best deal. If you are going to mod with bigger tires, you must do your homework in regard to components and such.

[@Doc1855]

When I bought new tires for my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, I decided to buy a 1” taller tire. I kept the 16” wheel size instead of opting for a 17” wheel. I wanted more side wall to soak up more impact because during the summer months I often take my truck on service or forest roads. I wanted the extra 1” of ground clearance because we live on a private road and we get 5-7 feet of snow per winter and we have to plow and maintain our road ourselves. The width of my new tires are the same as factory. I chose Falken Wildpeak AT4W 265/75/16. Yes I took a hit on fuel economy but I needed a stronger tire as we use my truck for work around our mountain property. The AT4Ws are designed for full sized pickups, but I put them on my Tacoma.

[@radiokiller1452]

My 2002 dodge ram 1500 4x4 came with stock 20in tires, keeping stock will bearings last longer

[@JimmieABES]

I run bigger tires on my Ram 2500 and have never once had an issue or seen premature wear. 65,000 problem-free miles.

[@stoundingresults]

I like lifted vehicles because it looks like you can change the oil without jack stands or ramps.

[@jefflilyea4669]

Old school front hubs were a better design.

[@jeretso]

Cars too. This would explain why I got wheel bearing issues after buying bigger tirerack rims with lower profile tires. I though it was just a pothole. The low profiles also reduced the cushioning.

[@loboxx337]

Engineering is great and anything can be modify to specs by knowing the dynamics of components.

[@dcoidua]

1A Auto you guys are the best your vids on the 4th gen 4runner helped me a lot with general repairs. Thank you!

[@ronch550]

Is switching from factory-installed highway tires to say, heavier All-Terrain or Rugged- Terrain tires (same size) gonna affect the wheel bearings? Thanks in advance.

[@alanlangley7246]

keeping it out the mud and water helps also thos tires outside the fender well scratching chipping the paint

[@1wheeldrive751]

It’s pretty simple math. If the stock tires are 30” diameter, and you change them to 35” diameter, you will raise everything in the vehicle by 1/2 the increased diameter, or 2 1/2”. The most significant points are the differentials, since they usually hang down the lowest on solid axle vehicles like Jeeps. Lifting the body does almost nothing in comparison.

[@1AAuto]

+@1wheeldrive751 Thanks for the feedback!

[@johnreese3762]

Good advice! Great video, thanks!

[@MarkMark-rw3fz]

Good man. Thank you

Ball joints.

[@80KG_Costco_Chicken]

I had a Jeep TJ on 35s. I had one set of wheel bearing only last me few thousand miles from somewhat hard off-road....I dont drive it much currently, but if I do I would have to do wheel bearing every year....

[@powayimports4175]

Wait, you mean installing larger tires , wheels , suspension lifts will cost you more money and cause pre mature failure?? Obviously this is true. What’s not obvious to the average consumer is that aftermarket parts that you sell will fail even faster. So stick to genuine and watch how long they last.

[@JSFGuy]

I do oversize my car only by 20 mm wide (cars) and leave the series the same so 1/3 to 1/2 in taller. Never had a problem, trucks though go way over as in this video.

[@ppr3017]

ford ranger 2017 with 285 70 17 goodyear wrangler + 30mm wheel spacer, at 70k odo but still no problem at all. Maybe its all about how you maintain your truck or the way you use it.

[@rameylewis7730]

I think aggressive tires look cool too, but how much stress is put on the transmission? I think the wheel bearing problem seems obvious, but the amount of stress on a transmission might be misunderstood.

[@koriko88]

Someone should make more robust wheel bearings for this specific application.

[@brd4869]

You know what is the problem with custom modification in general? Consider this; -car manufacturing companies spend millions (at least) designing a car -an individual will spend X amount of dollars on one aspect of the vehicle Does it make sense? Not yet? -car manufacturing company do an RnD on a car which takes years before it gets to blueprint. Some cars have been around for more than a decade and is literally an evolution from the first gen. Toyota does this a lot thus making their products “bullet proof”. -an individual who wants to modify his/her car spends x amount of time choosing what wheels to install In conclusion: Stock set up is balanced build. Every part serves a purpose. Personal modification, often times, only considers a portion not the entirety. But even though this is the hard reality, there will always be THAT person who thinks he/she knows better.

[@vipahman]

I have oversized wheels on my 2007 Ram 1500. The did wear out the ball joints prematurely, multiple times. The truck is now history and I'll get the Sierra EV AT4 to replace it with factory 35s.

[@johnmerlo5005]

Don't forget fuel mileage drop those tires cost more than you think

[@LaurenceHoneytoast]

I went from steel rims to aluminum went up in tire size from 265-285 no difference in weight and gained tread never run spacers. Do not deviate too far from factory engineering specs and you will be fine.

[@wranglercody8422]

I do lots of off-roading in the Arizona desert. Both my truck and jeep have 2” lift kits but run stock or slightly larger than stock tire size. My suspension components last way longer than trucks with 35s or better, and I go 99% of the places they go.

[@pierrecastanets1974]

Can smaller wheels wear out bearings too?

[@Wanderlust073]

They look great, they climb over everything, and I don’t care. If you can’t afford repairs, don’t mod your truck and don’t own a truck that is out of warranty. Otherwise - have fun!

[@BenKlassen1]

I hate oversized tires because you oftentimes cannot have a spare tire on the truck. If you drive in the middle of nowhere often, this is a big disadvantage.

[@xmeo30]

wow what a huge wheel bearing, just looking at it looks like it cost $$$$, im really glad that my wheel bearings are just fist size and cost $

[@Behnamsharifi-uk2xw]

Hi Thank gor this video Can you send the parts to overseas like middleast?

[@underscr0e]

If you hit a lot of holes and washboard, bigger tires will soften the ride, especially airing down a wee bit.

[@TonicofSonic]

To be fair, these modded trucks are mostly maintained by the owners so these expenses are not a problem, just an afternoon a few beers and some fun with your wrenches. Meanwhile the people who *think* they are smart are sitting in a waiting room at a dealership to pay out thousands for the same repair that a truck owner gets done for hundreds. Remember their little car is also a literal piece of junk compared to a capable truck.

[@tieoneon1614]

Vanity VS Function. U learn this as you get older but u cant tell younger guys this, and I didnt listen at that age either. The more u mod your truck the sh*ttier it becomes. The older I get, the more I get into maintaining and taking care of my truck instead of destroying it LOL.

[@270eman]

Depends what you switch to and what the vehicle is. My 23 tacoma had 245/75r16 tires. Upgraded to 255/85r16 for more ground clearance. If I switched to 35s then it would start becoming an issue requiring a lift, control arm upgrade, and shims to correct the the drive shaft and cv angles. 33s don't change the performance much but 35s will. If the wheel bearing goes bad oh well, i'll buy a new one. The extra ground clearance is worth it offroad. C rated 6 ply tires weigh a lot more but it can actually stand up to the offroad conditions. Its all tradeoffs.

[@gusgiesel]

When big truck owners are trying so hard to be cool, it's hard to hear a bad wheel bearing over the loud custom exhaust. And if you actually need oversized tires, maybe you bought the wrong vehicle. Yes, vanity is a cruel mistress.

[@seanmoore7207]

So whats the solution?

[@Jaredius]

If I need larger tires I bought the wrong truck. Yeah it’s fun, looks better and performs better off road in the short term, but unless you upgrade your entire suspension, breaks, drivetrain your shortening their lifespan, durability and reliability.

[@juicedgorilla138]

I’m all about the smiles per gallon. I can’t drive a stock truck.

[@GixxerRider1991]

The pickup truck is purely a fashion statement in modern American society. It's no surprise that the modifications people make to them have only gotten more idiotic with time. I feel bad for trades guys like me who can no longer find a basic four banger with a five speed and roll down windows.

[@thud1241]

And potholes ruin bearings.

[@pg8393]

I never modify any of my equipment, it's just a waste of time and money.

[@unknown_truckers]

Nah bad maintenance schedules has nothing to do with soze of wheels when theyre moderately sized like those. 35s arent bad on these trucks. They go bad when they go bad, and OEM isnt known for being super reliable after 100k let alone 200k miles.

Over size tyre look awkward and ugly proportion.Yes there is a big tyre that fits very well to the vehicle body size.

[@NebuChadNezzarKBDN]

That truck is old. Of course it's going to have wheel bearings going out at some point.

I has not nothing to do that the trucks nowadays are garbage.

[@scsi_joe]

"Those Oversized Tires May Look Good…But Which Parts Are They Damaging on Your Car or Truck?" Right? This is what people don't think about

[@farminindiana7590]

The problem is less of a big tire problem and more of a cheap quality bearing problem

[@derekwoolley9729]

Don't try wider size tyreson a Tata vehicle. They are not made to handle the extra pressure and bearing will fail. Speaking of experience on behalf of a friend who had a bad experience.

[@loboxx337]

Quality made junk trucks most likely not the tires.

TYRES.

[@darrenprior6339]

Big wheels and tires = more unsprung mass, more load on components including brakes, higher rolling resistance, higher fuel consumption, increased aerodynamic drag, inferior on-road handling, slower acceleration and messes up your speedometer readings. All for what? So you can drive over a rock better once every ten years in that wilderness trip you promised you’d do every weekend and look like a gigantic wanker 99% of the remaining time? Pass.

[@mart0225]

Those silly modifications = greater risk of failure = greater risk to others. Yet, the people who does the modifications is never held responsible.

[@underscr0e]

Hub assembly’s and bearings are not meant to last long without any mods 😂….

[@stanleycraftsman8325]

Fuel consumption 😂😂😂😂
