hey thanks man. i knew i could use the 245/75/17, but was a little worried about the wider tires rubbing. what exact tires are you running. I would like to have the wider footprint for better of road traction. 2wd duallies aren't known for offroading, but i would like to be able to drive on a little wet grass without eating it up. almost all of my use is on highway pulling a trailer, so i was going to go with increased footprint rather than an aggressive tread. just thought i'd see what you were running to get some ideas.

any way you could send pictures? if not, that is fine. i appreciate the info. i was looking at the wrangler at/s in that size. they really grab hold, but still ride nice. similar to the prograde, but a little more aggressive.
