well the truck in my sig. Just wondering if a set of 265-75-16 would work i do very little hauling goin to be sled pullin. Thanks for eny info. or what the biggest size is that i can clear

 

That is what I have on my truck is 265/75-16. Those are pretty much a stock size tire for them. Are you running a different size tire now? or are you asking if they will work for sled pulling? If you are just looking to see if they will fit then yes they should mine is the same other than the DRW so they should work ok

 

thanks but the fac size for a drw is 235-85-16 . i just wanted to make sure the 265s would not rub together on the rear tires. I had a single wheel also an the 265s were the fac size thanks again

 

Yea they shouldnt rub together because the 235/85-16 would be a wider tire than the 265/75-16 you should be good to go

 

The 235/85-16 is a narrower and slightly taller tire than the 265/75-16. The higher the second number the narrower tire.

 

 

Well you're right about the first part. But the numbers on the tire are section width/ aspect Ratio- Rim size
for example a 265/75-16 tire is 265mm wide, take the section width x the aspect ratio to get your section height 265 x .75= 198.75mm tall. But you are right the 235/85 is narrower and taller than a 265/75

 

thanks for the info so it sounds like i could even go whith 285-75-16

 

on a dually i think they are gonna be way too wide n rub together. unless you run wheel spacers, n in some states they are illegal. i think here in pa you can only run up to like 1/2" or 3/4" spacers.

 

Thats what i have on my 99 2500. Its a quad cab short bed single wheel. No rubbing or touching. I can take pix if you'd like! I am replacing them SOON with 305/70 R-16 BfGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO's I will let you know how those fit too!
