yeah i wanted some mud tires. but just about all of em suck in the winter. i live in MI and have family up north. so a good snow tire is a must.

thanks for your help everyone.

That's actually my truck in the pic. Those are the BFG 285/65 KO's with my leveling kit (2" front and 3/4" rear) installed. But they did fit with no rubbing before I leveled it.

Nice... I think you'll be happy with them. They're definitely a huge improvement (performance and looks) over the stock goodyears.

I haven't got them yet but i wanted to get in here with my opinion.. ta da! anyway, i have been reading alot about the DC FC II tires. I haven't found anything negative about them other than the one or two that say they had a bad experiance with them. do me a favor, check out these links and tell me what you guys think about them.. they are supposed to be a great all around tire. wet, dry, ice, snow, on, and off road... if anyone has these or has had them will you give me your opinion on them? i was thinking about leveling my truck for a while but now i think i'm going to just leave it as is and change the tires. The 305/55R20 is a hair over an inch wider, and maybe a half inch taller than stock. at $260 per tire it's think is a great buy. I hope they are still this price when i get home.

I will be going with these when the day comes. While I like the BFG I can not afford to loose MPGs. I had these on a Jeep and they seemed to do well

it turns out that the 35x12.50's are really only 34.5 tall... that should fit fine on a not lifted/leveled truck without rubbing shouldn't it?

The "stock" 20's come in at least two different widths - 8" and 9".

These are the 8" wheels...



And these are the 9" wheels...




My calculations say those tires should be mounted on a 9" rim.
