I know many people that run em but to be honust, you are no suppose to.
Most tire manufacturer's claim it increases center line wear.
I have noticed bad wear on a few trucks around here already but I have also heard other guys claim they have had no problems what so ever.
Me, myself I am buying 8 inch rims so I can put 285s on em and if I get another lift I can put 315s on it in the future.

Air pressure and rotation are nessesary when running them on the factory chromies. I run about 5o psi in the front and 40 in the rear...that varies by tire type too.

The truck came with worn out Bigfoot A/Ts....I replaced them with Truxus Swampers...JUNK!.....then Kumho mudders, which lasted over two years...I now have general grabber A/T2s....not the best tire, but very inexpensive.
