The STT is NOT a directional tire. I would actually be surprised if it was on a diesel...correct me if I'm wrong...but the best you can get in an STT is a Load Range C. Most guys with Diesels tow to much to go down to a C rated tire.

I cant remember what years but some years you can only get the speedo calibrated at the dealer. A programmer wont work because of where the speed is read. for some reason 98.5 is ringing in my head. I think that year it has to be done at the dealer.
Damn I forgot most of my 2nd gen knowledge

so i have recentley got new tires (285) and i went bigger then i had and some thoughts came to my head for them.
1 do they affect the way it reads mileage?
2 do over sized tires hurt the transmission/rear end if u dont get it tuned?
3 do they reduce the power of the truck or not?
4 should u get the pcm/ ecm reprogrammed for oversized so everything runs smother or does it not matter?

In October I put on 285/75/16 mud rovers, they kicked the **** out my milage (yes I am taking into account the slower spedo) I went from aprox 15.5 to 10.5 -11 mpg !!!
For the first day or two after installation I kept checking if my park brake was on the rolling restance is that great!!! I going to take them off and get the 20" hemi wheels
