Anybody got a pic of a 2wd 3500 with 255s they could post? 'Bout new tire time and would really like a little taller tire.
TIA

 

I know of

Cummins4life having 255's but on his truck its a 3/4 ton. I have a friend that runs them on a dually like urs, cept his is 4wd.. looks really sharp..

The only tires I have been able to find that size have aggresive off road tread. If someone knows of a highway tread (or close) in that size, I'd love to know about it.

 

Not too bad.

You might think these are aggessive, but maybe not.

Toyo's are great tires, but those are way to aggressive for my 2wd. I got another tip on Coopers, but they are too aggressive too. I understand there is a problem with tire rub on the back of the dually if you go to a fatter tire, say 75 series so I seem to be stuck with 235/85/16 max. Thanks

 

2000 and newer wheels will support wider tires than the earlier wheels without the use of spacers.

I just put these on my truck last night. Although mine is 4wd, they fit great and look good. I have an 1 1/2 or so between the duals. Plenty of room. We had a bit on snow here also and they were actually way better than I though they would be.

Hey Fred, are you keeping the 97 in the garage for the winter. LOL Steve B.

 

Thanks, I will look into that. Maybe I can get a set at the local boneyard. Maybe going that route, I can find a set of 17" like the new trucks.

I have no problem with the Dunlops or the Toyo's on the back, the problem is I have 4 wheel antilock and have to keep the same size on the front, or so i'm told.
