Do you have stock /50 Fortera rubber, or something else? I was thinking about replacing mine with 265/50 Terra Grappler G2s for a trip to Big Bend, but not sure if it's necessary - might just save the cash for the trip. Not like I'm crawling Moab...
I was away for awhile. I have the stock 265/50-20 Fortera tires that now have 19K on them. The few times I've had it offroad, they're adequate enough for my needs. I was on the dunes out back at Pismo Beach, by signpost #17 if you know the area or have a map. I didn't air down and we did okay. Airing down on /50s risks rim or bead damage. It was okay.
At Hollister Hills SVRA i've had it in muddy and in dry conditions. I never got stuck in the mud but the tires are a limiting factor. Once I was there with a 4X4 club and we tackled some obstacles in the obstacle course. I have the Quadra-Lift suspension which helps, and I was able to do some challenging obstacles like Frame Twister and Stair Stepper. Not bad for a stock rig with street tires.
When these tires wear out I will get taller AT tires. I'll stick with the 20" wheels for now and see how the next set of tires do.
