I told them to hold off on my order, Just want to make sure I will be happy with them before I spend that kind of money $$$. I know Blue Dually said they were 7.25, but they should be wider than that, the 235's are 7.25 tread width and the 265's are 8.25 on tread width, I am hoping the 255's are somewhere in between??????

Let me know when you get them and how you like them. If you would please measure the tread width for me, it would be greatly appreciated!!! I know the tread pattern blocks on the edge are staggered, but measure them as if they weren't, please. Thanks!

I picked them up yesterday. They are a great looking tire, I cant wait to get them mounted.

Tread width looks to be 7.5" for the wide lugs, and 7" for the narrow.

AH64ID, Thanks for the measurements! Please post us some pics when you get them mounted. If at all possible I would love to see a pic of them from a full rear view of the truck. Thanks for all your help!

Warranty?

Have you asked about a pro-rated warranty on these? I'm looking at these tires also, but can't see replacing them that often.

Thanks!
