Tires

Can I run a 285/75/16 on my stock 1997 Dodge rims the rims are 16x6.5 and will they rub are they ok for towing? I'm looking at BFG All Terrains.

6.5 is not wide enough for a 285, sure you can put them on there but they wont last :c:

incorrect. Ive had 285 Cooper St's on my stock rims for 3+ years on my daily driver. I use Counteract balancing beads and they are wearing very evenly (moreso than any tire Ive ever had under a 3/4 ton). Even more suprising is that they are technically a mud tire. There is no rubbing either.

Many, many, many people have run a 285's on those wheels.

Well doc you and anyone else can do as you please but the manufacturer recomends a 7.5- 9'' wheel, so therefore my statement is Correct. BTW a ST is an all terrain tire a STT is a mud tire.

I also noticed, smaller the tire, the quicker it wears out

i ran 305/70s on my stock rims before i got my aftermarket rims. they wore pretty decent. we run 305s and 285s on our trucks at work with factory 6.5 wheels with no problems
