Re:Another tire question

Suposly BFG is coming out with a new tire mainly for the Diesel trucks. You know how the BFG's now have a soft tread. Well these are suposed to have a harder tread but still soft ride. And also there gonna keep their original design. The tire is gonna come out in '04. So keep an eye out for them. SD03<br>

Re:Another tire question

I've got 285s on the stock rim and they're wearing great. 17,000 miles and at this rate I'll get 60K out of them. <br><br>295 is less than 1/2 inch wider than 285's, but you know how it is with tires -- one size is a different tire than another size. <br><br>about this tire for diesels -- any info on that? and what does that mean anyway -- load range E?
