Default Need Tires

Just got my truck listed in the sig after having an '01 dually. In desperate need of tires and wondering what you would recommend with the leveling kit. This truck is a daily driver and used to pull a trailer and occasionally off-road for cutting firewood, etc.

i have 35" tires on mine and they fit good but if i hit a pretty big bump with the tires turned they will rub a little bit but its not bad at all... alot of people like to run 305's(33" tall) but IMO i dont think you could go wrong with 35" tires and the rubbing also depends on what rims you have on the truck

This is my brother's '06. He's running a 2" leveling kit and 285-70R17 (33 x 11.25) Toyo Open Country A/T's. Like most all terrains, they do fine in everything except mud.

Well i think they might have missed its a dually...

Don't know much about the dually but these are what I got today! You will prolly need spacers for a wide tire if thats what you're after

Actually, he said the 2001 he had previous to his present truck was a dually. He doesn't specify if his 2003 is a dually or not.

Not a dually. Didn't really need the dually and the rear diff gives this new one significantly better fuel mileage.

I put on a set of Firestone Destination AT's, and have been happy with them so far... 315/70/17's for me.. Load range E.
