I have about 30kmiles and will be needing new tires soon. I do most of my driving on the road pulling a 10000lb toy trailer. I'd like to go to a little bigger tire for the looks but stay with the stock rims (17x8 aluminum). I'm considering either the Toyo Open Country AT or Nitto Dura Grappler. The sizes i'm looking at are either 285/70R-17 (1" taller than stock) or 285/75R-17 (2" taller than stock). I'd like to know thoughts on Toyo vs. Nitto and what people think about the size. The truck tows ok with stock tires but I'm a little worried that the larger tire would lower the RPM below 1500 at 60mph. I guess to keep the RPMs up on the road when towing I could lock out 6th gear (6th OD is 0.63, 5th OD is 0.81, 4th is 1.00). Anybody have any thoughts. ]]> onetonmega http://www.dieselbombers.com/tire-wheel-suspension/36684-toyo-nitto.html http://www.dieselbombers.com/tire-wheel-suspension/36657-stock-wheel-swap.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:14:39 GMT im looking for some different wheels for my 92 dually. i like the new chevy/gmc dually wheels. so i was wondering if there is any direct wheels... im looking for some different wheels for my 92 dually. i like the new chevy/gmc dually wheels. so i was wondering if there is any direct wheels swaps for the obs chevy trucks? maybe some superduty or dodge wheels. anyone tried this before? thanks! ]]> isenegger http://www.dieselbombers.com/tire-wheel-suspension/36657-stock-wheel-swap.html http://www.dieselbombers.com/tire-wheel-suspension/36588-where-get-spacers.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:12:45 GMT Well I want to get some 33 inch tires or so for my dodge.

I dont do any towing and most of my driving is on road. I do the occasional off roading here and there, and I will see snow, rain, ice, mud, dirt etc. The tires will be exposed to all elements, but again most driving is to and from work and around town so tread life and road noise is important.

What do you recommend?

And last but now least, I was going to buy a 285/75R16, but I have recently learned about 255/85R16 which are 33.5x10.00R16. Will the 255's be to thin for my truck? I'd like to maximize MPG with a thinner tire, but not at the expense of loosing a good look.

Ok i have 285/75 r16 nitto terra grapplers on my truck....they should last me a year or more cuz i dont do alot of driving. maybe they will last all through college idk but i was lookin at the Toyo MT's and really like them. I want an opinion on these and how long do they last if you only drive an estimate of 5000 to 20,000 miles a year. Do they handle well on the road? Are they as strong as the BF Goodrich A/t's? I want a mean lookin tire. I wish i could get rims too but i dnt have that kind of $! If you have suggestions on other tires list them out.
