Thanks for the info guys... I'm prolly going to do it sometime once the weather turns a little better...!

 

Any up-date on a group-order??

 

yeah.. he said that he wasn't able to do it.

 

That's a shame,.. I'm gonna do tires from them for the Ram & the Dakota this summer.
Would have been nice to see a little more knocked off the price.

 

ive read so much about these that ima be gettin em here in the next couple of weeks. 265/70/16 guard dog. like $430 shipped, cant beat that. and if i get 30+k out of em, ill be happy. i wanted the 255/70 but they only have one kind of tread pattern, and i want an agressive tread.

P.S. there are two of the same tread design under the 265/70/16 section, one has a (D) one has (P) and the prices are different. what does that mean?

 

2nd P.S. i now cant decide between the 255/70/16 pumas, or the 265/70/16 guard dogs. help anyone? i currently have 245/70/16 kumohs, with one goodyear. so ether way i am upsizing a little, but i dont want to to much. i know when i had the 265/75/16s when i bought the truck it rode worse, and the speedo was wayyy off. it isnt now, which is why im stickin with 70% heigth so they get wider really. any advice?

 

I just looked at the website, and noticed, only the P rated tires are wider according to the dimensions. I'm not sure why

-265/70/16 Guard Dog (D) Tread width :8.1in. Section width: 10.2in.
-Dimensions claimed: 31x31x8 Load 2835 at 65PSI max

*265/70/16 Guard Dog (P) Tread width: 8.1in. Section width: 10.2in.
*Dimensions claimed: 31x31x9 Load 2403lbs at 44PSI max

%265/75/16 Guard Dog (D) tread width: 8.75in. Section width: 10.5in.
%Dimensions claimed:32x32x8 Load 3042 at 65PSI max

Only thing I can make of it, is the P rated tires hold less pressure, and maybe bulge out a bit. Dont take my word for it tho, I'm just guessing by their numbers.

I went with the E rated 265/75/16 guard dogs on my truck because they're 3415 lbs. at 80PSI max. I run them at 45PSI each tire, with no problems...knock on wood.

 

The P and D have to deal with weight load ratings, if you tow or put weight in the bed I would go with the load D tires, they also usually have a higher max pressure and a stiffer sidewall I would never put anything less than a D load range tire on a truck that was going to see any real use

 

wow i really appreciate that. i was going to go with the p because they are cheaper, but now im definatly not. i mean just look at the psi you looked up.

 

Are 15" rims going away? Seems the tire choices for 15" rims are getting slimmer. TreadWright's 15" options are slim at best.
