Thanks for the quick replies guys, I would love to get tires in 255/85 size. I was quoted 1417.00 OTD for Toyo M55s in 255/85 To rich for my blood. I never really considered the Cooper ST. Isn't the Cooper ST MAXX supposed to be the commercial tire replacement for the old Cooper ST-C? 235/85s don't look too skinny at all. Thanks for posting pictures.

The ISO Metric tire code consists of a string of letters and numbers, as follows:
An optional letter (or letters) indicating the intended use or vehicle class for the tire:-
P: Passenger Car
LT: Light Truck
ST: Special Trailer
T: Temporary (restricted usage for "Space-Saver" spare wheels)

Well the 265s are out. I just don't like the way they look on my 6.5in rims. I've read a lot of the dmax guys like the BFG traction t/as, only a few dodge guys running the BFGs. Anyone here have any input on the BFGs? or the M55s in 235/85? I'd LOVE to get the M55s in 255/85 but its pricey
My buddy who I talked into the TA's at the same time I bought mine has had stellar service from 2 sets on his dually. Go figure. Mine sits more with a lotta weight (even though well within specs) and I think that's what kills 'em.
One thing I can say about Michelin (who owns BFG)...they DO stand behind their tire. Even gave me 25% credit on the new AT2's even though they were 7 years old. Bought the AT2 replacements for the BFG's and wrote a check for $3K in body damage.
My company (w/large fleet) has been doing all GY Duratraks with good success. I put a set on my Cherokee and really like them, but think they're a bit agressive if you run heavy (can't get rid of heat).
