My axle noise, if thats what it is and I am sure it must be, started before I put the 28's on...Hasnt gotten worse or anything but its still there...

It can happen even with the stock wheels Yammy. I know with my 08 T-CAT it did it with both. Your dealer will definately be able to figure it out for you.

how much is your speedo off with the 27's?
and about how much top end did you loose if any?
I have yet to confirm mine
I know it maxes out at 110km/hr now (from 135) but am unsure of how much is top end loss and how much is speedo error with my 28"

Hey Yammy I am not quite sure how much my tires throw off my speedo,I haven't check yet and I should, I have a radar gun that I can check it with. Tomorrow I will do a few passes with the radar gun and post the results.

Hey Yammy I checked today with my radar gun and my speedo said 83 and the radar gun said 82.7 so I would say that it is pretty much dead on.

I think I am probably topping out around 125km/hr (78mph) and when I max out the speedo is only showing 110km/hr (68mph) as well...
I am guesstimating as well as using that tool I attached

Hey Yammy remember I am running 27" x 9" on all four corners which will not be the same as running 28"s which are also a little wider.

Yeh...
How do you like the 9's all around?
Mine are actually 27" high (8psi)
Fronts measure 9" and rears measure 11" wide
The 28" mud lites dont measure true height unless I put 10psi in them and then they are actuall less than 9 and 11" wide
I find their sizes wierd
I always used to run 3psi in my old 26" ML on the previous machine and they measure 24.5" high
Did you measure you stocks when they were on?
Mine were 23" high.....7.5 inches wde on the front and 8.5" on the rear
The stock tires on the T-Cat made them look so crazy ( i sold them for $100 lol)
