now thats a big difference. my next tire is going to be in the 285 to 295 range, I might push to the 305 if I have the cash, but this is gunna be a while, I still have plenty of tread on my stockers.

Yeah I wanted to go to a 285/85r16 but the duals would touch. With these tires there is about 3/4" between them now. Anything bigger I would have to go to a special offset wheel or a spacer between the wheels. I'll have to go test the offroad capabilities next weekend. Maybe I won't sink like last time.

yea, sinking is always a problem when you have an engine that tips the scale at almost 1000 pounds

Drew, do you have the BFG Rugged Trail tires? If so, I had them on my '04 Ford. They had 72000 miles on them when I traded the truck in and still had 3/16 - 1/4" of tread left. You will have those things a long time, unless you burn em off.
