New Shoes - Falken Wildpeak AT Trail. I didn't really need the more off-road AT/4W. So far these things rock. On road, it feels like a Mercedes :) A short gravel road trial and sure-footed.
The old (11 years old) Yokohama Geos still had tread but developed terrible on-road noise.
I used these front and rear

I mounted the stock amplifiers lower inside the door -...
I stripped and repainted my aluminum wheels, maybe 10 years ago. Used the Duplicolor self-etch primer and Duplicolor wheel paint and clear cote. Still looks great.
Held up better than the factory clearcoat.
They are good tires, but will eventually get noisy as ####. Mine will be quiet for a few hundred after I rotate, then noisy again.
Maybe 30 thou. on them, still 10K or more left, been noisy since 20K or so.
Used it, does not last. Cerakote{s} makes one that lasts a year. I have it on my Libby going on 2 years. It is garaged. Not cheap at $20 but enough in the bottle to do 10 or 20 average cars.
My advice - find a good local radiator shop. See what they can source. If there is one with brass tanks - get it. If not, they may be able to construct one. Remember, I said a GOOD shop.
Thanks - any issues being long enough to clear the spare?
I could not use that exact model, but love the feedback. Getting 2 E-bikes and weight would exceed the Yak's spec.
I'm gonna' guess that most newer vehicles have no side to side adjustment. I had a 2002 Focus that also had zilch.
Guess they either need shimmed or a BFH.
