I am trying to decide what size tires I want to upgrade to. Could you guys with any 285's, 305's and even 315 size tires post your pictures or web pages for me so I can have a visual of what they'd look like? Thanks!

Here is my truck with 285/75/16 BFG AT/S KO's. I don't believe anybody makes a 285 in a 17" wheel yet.

 

Here's mine with 315's.

It's A KC Thing....You Wouldn't Understand!!!

 

I think the metric size of Spargo2's tires would be 295/65/17...is this what others have gotten? (By the way, you guys have some awesome lookin' trucks!)

 

Here's some 305/70/16's

rmagers,

Your truck sure is nice, I really like the way the wheels and tires look. Pretty color too.

 

onemilmhz,

Those tires fit pretty good? Ever rubbed? I'm thinkin about that size for my next set, possibly. Trucks looks good.

 

Thanks for the compliments mudder. I'm ordering a prerunner bar for the front and a couple KC lights. I gotta join the Mudder KC light club. :-)


Thanks again,

Ron

That's great, I bet that will look really good. Glad you are goin with the best lights. Post pics when you get the new toys.

 

rmagers,

Great lookin' truck. Couple of questions for ya. I noticed in your signature your running 3.55's, how is the power curve w/that large of tire?. Also, how far off was your speedometer and did you fix it...if so how? Oh yea, what brand of body lift did you go with? Thanks alot.

The tires do make a big difference. I lost a lot of the power. Sometime I hope to get new gears but right now too much $$$. At 65mph my speedo reads about 55 or so. All I did was run beside someone at different speeds to see what my speedo was reading. I can live with it the way it reads. My body lift was a Performance Accessories. It took about 6 hours or so to put on with me and a buddy working at the same time, and with air tools.

Woody, I love your truck mine looks the same with baby tires(stock 255s). I want 305s, or 295s on 16x8 wheels. Need to know about power loss!! I pull a load every weekend and need pulling power! ,but i want to look good doing it. What size rim do you have? Lift or no lift? Name of tires? Thanks

MUDDER!!!!!!!! what size are your rims??????

 

mudder,
They fit perfectly! No lift (yet) and there's just the right amount of room in the well. No rubbing or binding at all. Now, if I could only get my hands on a few daylighters!

rmagers,
I know what you mean about lost power! With my tires and other mods I've lost a lot of low end. I'd like to step up to 4.10's soon. Don't forget, with the speedo off a little the odometer will reflect it as well. Something to think about when timing those oil changes!
