285 75 17 on a dually
Hey guys,
I want to put some tires on my 06 dually and am on the fence whether to go with 35 12.50s again or 285 75s this time. I sure would appreciate it if anyone has pics of 285 75's on a truck. Pics of 285 75's on a dually would be even better!
I like the look of 35s on a dually but being I put on so many miles I think the 285 s would help in fuel mileage.
Thanks guys,
Topper

I had the 285/70/17's on my dually, but I ate through them way too quick so back to stock size for a short time till I go 22.5's.
Give me your email and I'll send you a pic. They were the Firestone Destination MT's (thats why i ate them up)

Mine are 285 70 17 Toyo AT and I am only running a 1/4" spacer in the rear. I didn't think that they made the At's in 275 75 17?

Toyo also makes the AT in the 285 75 17. Thats whats on my truck. Figure if Homewrecker can fit 285 70's then the 285 75s should not be a problem. Then again I dont have a dually.

Thank for all the responses guys! What is the diff between 285 70 and 285 75?I think the 285 75 are taller and a little skinner, but not sure.
Armstrong great looking truck!
Thanks,
Topper

How much space do you have between the duals? Can you post pics?
