I see you have a plow...

I plowed all last year with those tires and they provided excellent traction, and we had some pretty deep stuff, too!

Probably not as much as you up in New England, tho.

Looks good. I just got the same tires, same size, blackside out. Looks alot better with white out than I thought

Mine felt real soft at first but seem to be stiffening up. Now whether they really were soft or it was just me having slightly bigger tires, I dont know

Now, you just need to get a Smarty Jr and adjust you tire size.....




....and put on the highest HP setting and you'll be grinning big time!

Looks good. Have a good one and enjoy.

Toyo 285's

I love mine, too. Good winter traction, and they haul the heavy camper without too much road noise. And they're wearing pretty good so far. No complaints at all.

Toyo=good tires.

I'm running the same tires. Great solid,precision built tire. Minimal weight to balance and tough. My buddy's got an '07 like mine with a flatbed mounted 9'Phoenix(lousy brand btw) popup camper. The whole rig tops out@ 12,000#. He's got Carli suspension and travels extensively offroad. Five trips now with 2500 miles of Baja dirt roads under his belt and no flats,cuts or failures of any kind. Same tires. I fell safe with these tires especially after having a freeway speed blowout with Bridgestones(D rated,my fault) on my 98.5. These things have a huge load rating too! Bridgestone just released a 315-75-17 E rated Revo 2 but the load rating is only 3195#@65psi. Still,it's the first E rated 315-70-17 in existance.

Just put a set on the dually. Same size, but blackwall out. Only put about 50 miles on so far, but no complaints yet. Dropped rpms by 2-300. I hope highway mpgs go up.
