Sorry, but its tyres!

Sorry guys, I have already read everyone elses recommendations for tyres but they are all for 2500 single axles. What do you recommend for my 3500 Dually. I have looked at a new tyre in the UK called a Bronco Gripedge at $120 ish (converted) I think I am running 235/85/16 Michelins, not sure because whoever had the truck before me couldnt keep it away from kirbs and has ground the sizes of the tyres at both ends.
Can I fit 285 or is that being to adventurouse for a 2x4 dually.

Hope to hear soon.

Thanks

Kurt

On a duallie if you go much more then 265, the two rear tires may touch or get stuff stuck between them more frquently.

At some point spacers would be needed .

Another thing to consider is power, gear, weight you tow. If its stock engine wise and you tow a lot, and it has 3.54's a taller tire will not help at all.....If you have the power or don t tow or have 4.10's its not an issue.

I run 265's
