285/75/16's LOAD RANGE E...brands?
Well i am once agian in need of new gummies. I have been running BFG's load range E for last 3 years. I have been thinking of going back down to 265's -which is what came with truck but even though they are only an inch shorter in height they seem so small.
Is there any other brands other than BFG that come in E's in 285's that i may not be aware of? I really need to stay with E's. Thanks for the time! |
Hankook, Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone are a few.

Nitto, Toyo
I've run the Nitto Terra Grappler on my old '97, though they were 285/70-17 E's because I put on 3rd Gen wheels in order to get the correct backspacing with the 8" wide wheel. The 2nd Gen 16" x 8" factory alloy wheels don't clear on the '94 - '99 years. I thought the Nitto's wore kind of fast. Truck had a service body on it and was heavy. My friend has a set of 295/75-16 Nitto Terra Grappler's on his Ford, and he feels they wear fast too. When it comes time to put new tires on my '02, I plan on installing the Hankook 285/75-16 Load Range E tires. |
I had a set of Bridgestone Deuler Revo II's, which were E-rated, and wore great. They stunk in wet grass and mud, though. I run 285-75-16.

im running fierce attitude m/t's 285/75r16 E and love em. hardly and road noise, excellent traction and good wear. good prices too
|
I recently went back to the stock size and they look really small compared to the 285's I had on it for winter.
I'm getting used to it now though. I'm running Dean MT's for winter, but I think they are D's. Still at 5700# a tire I'm covered for any load I may haul. |
i've been looking into the michelin ltx a/t2. they're nice looking tires. very quiet on the road & have good traction off road.

I am at 24,000 miles on, mine and they are almost worn out. No heavy loads just driving to work and back on hwy. Rotated every 5 to 6,000 and air psi at 70psi and checked every 2 weeks. Will be my last set of those.

Michelins have been on my truck for the last 230,000 miles. I'm on my 3rd set of them. Every time I read about some guy who had a blowout on a cheaper tire, I thank myself for buying the Michelins. I mean, these trucks are heavy! I drive all day long at 70 mph sometimes, loaded, or loaded and towing a trailer--I need a good set of tires.

Do they wear out in the center? My tire pressure chart for my '01 indicates a lot less pressure than that when unladen.
