35 x 10.5 x 17 SSR's on '07 Dually - PICS
Got my new Swamper SSR's installed a few days ago 
. Finally got around to getting a few pics taken.
Stock wheels, 2" Cage billet aluminum leveling spacer, NO WHEEL SPACERS.
Have not posted pics to this forum before, so hopefully they come through.

I just saw a ford with those same tires and I THINK he had a 1/4" spacer on the lugs but he said he did tow 2 jeeps on a 25' gooseneck and had no problems.
A word of advice (and I may be wrong but it should work in theory), keep your back 4 tires where they are at and flip your fronts side to side when you rotate. Your 4 rears will last much longer and you will have to buy 2 new tires maybe a bit prematurely but it is better than buyin 6. I wish I had done mine that way but now I need to get 6 tires where I could just be buyin 2 fronts and have about 1/3 tread on my rears. JMO
Also, very nice truck, its good to see something differant and those tires are awsome I had a set of 12.50s and loved em, if you can get over the sticker shock.

Unless you have a heavy foot, and THEN you have to buy the rear BEFORE the front!

The 10.50s may be better but is is impossible to get a mud tire that is 12.50 wide to where right on the front with 6" rims. I am sure its not that good for the back tires eather but for some reason they wear a lot better. My inside duals have been on the inside since day one and they look a lot better than the other four. The tires that have been on the front are almost bald on the outside but look very good on the inside, if that makes any sense.
And it is hard to get a lot of tire spin out of a dually, especially with tires like that, those swampers hook up very well for what they are cause they are so soft and sticky. I am sure with an auto you could spin better but with my truck bein a 6 speed I got power brake it in 2nd or 3rd to get much spin at all. Unless it is rainin then I can brake em loose in 5th when the turbo lights, almost wrecked the other night, when to pass a care at about 50-55mph and the truck got all kinds of sideways with me.

6 speed DRW here also. I think you took my response a little on the serious side, which you should have taken it with a

Appreciate all the comments.....
I am very happy with the tires so far. Like many of the mods we do on our vehicles, I chose these tires largely on the basis of looks. I do drive off road occassionally, but do not go mud boggin. I had already got my truck stuck in mud with the stock tires, so wanted something with more traction. I got a couple more inches of ground clearance (and overall truck height) as well, which I wanted.
The tires hum, but only marginally louder than some Goodyear MTR's I have had previously on a built Toyota FJ60. It sounds good. I am actually surprised by the street manners of a tire with fairly large lugs. Ideally, my preference would be to regear going to a 35" tire, but I am not going to spend the $$.
These are obviously not the best tires for trucks pulling heavy loads, especially over long distances. They do have an E load rating however. My truck is not a high mileage vehicle, my loads relatively light and I live in an area with lots of soft mud as soon as you leave the road. So, for me these tires should work out just fine.
