Default need to get new tires

Hi I'am new to this board and was wandering on what kind of tires to get. I have a 95 2500 dodge ram w/ a 2 1/2 revtek leveling kit, Micky Thomson 10 1/2 in wheels w/ 6 in back spacing, street scene 3 in poly urethane flares,firestone air bag weight support bags in the rear. The tires that I am replacing are goodyear 305 70 16's M/T's. I tow alot so I want something that will last. I want 315 70 16's but dont want them to rub at full lock. I live in the south so we dont get alot of snow or ice down here I have 65000 miles on these tires now and are in need of replacing. any ideas would help.

Welcome to the forum!

First thing I'd suggest you take a look at in reference to your tire selection...


Not trying to be a mean or anything, its just this topic has been beat to death before, over and over again.

6 inches of backspacing? I don't know if I'm thinking about that backwards but I'm shocked
your current tires do not rub. Anyway, sounds like you got some good mileage out of the
goodyears. any reason why your not going to get another set?

Just thought I would throw it out there and see what everyone else is running. Also to see if they had good luck with the tires they have
