Tires?????

Well its time to put some new tires on my truck and was wondering what would be the best way to go. I want something that will fill the finderwell a little better than my 235/85/r16s. I am in the process of a leveling kit now.

I love the tires in my sig. They are excellent in snow and mud and not real noisy. They look good on a stock truck and you don't need a leveling kit. Trucks are supposed to sit higher in the rear. Plus you get better fuel mileage that way. Because you are always going down hill.

You would need a 2" spacer in the rear to run 285s. Blackdiesel runs 255/85 on his dually with no spacer, and he hauls pretty heavy sometimes.
