I got mine put on yesterday , 295/70/17 10 ply $238 a tire mounted and balanced . A real nice looking tire and no rubbing at all on my stock truck which surprised me from what I have read . They balanced easy for a heavy tire but I was told to rotate every 3000 to 5000 miles to keep them from cupping . I don't have any pictures , sorry , but I can say I don't think you will be disappointed . They do make some highway noise but not anything I can't live with . They are a very aggressive tire and do look like a great mud and snow tire . They do look great on the truck and I am happy so far just hope they wear good . I really wanted 285's but needed a E rating and could not find anything to fit the bill . I have seen pictures of them on someone else's truck on this site I hope he speaks up for you .

where did you find them for $234 ? I was told to find the lowest verifiable price and my shop would be it.

dt is a joke compared to here - stick around, you will glean so much better info.

well here ... i guess i can let the whole story out

I had an awesome 2500 with KORE everything ... got this wild hair to get a megacab dually ... got tired of it in about 4 months ... so I am back in a QC 3500 4x4 TRX4 ... blah blah blah

anyway, I am contemplating doing the 285/295 thing or putting the KORE stuff back on and going 35".

On the 2500 before, I ran the BFG MT and had a bad pull to the right ... put on 315 ATs ann it went away ... but the ATs dont look as good. So, now I am thinking 35" Toyos ... but rumor has it, that they tend to pull hard to the right also ... so I am back at AT tires (unless the BFG MT was a fluke before and we tried 6 different tires on the front).

So, what to do ? I don't tow heavy ... well, real heavy ... everything is ball mount. Any advise ?

im happy staying stock... I love the 285 size... and if you want traction, then check out the bfg m/t. a good combo for a stock truck.
