time for new tires on the dually
 
I'm about ready (past due) for some new tires on my farm truck. ('97 F-350 4x4 dually)
The current tires are 235/85 R16. The rears and 1 front are Goodyear Wranglers. The other is a carlisle or something.

I'd like to go a little bigger (without lifting it) and a little more aggressive. I'd say this truck is 70% paved roads/ 30% gravel/offroad...but I only put ~5k miles a year on it, so that's still not a ton of road miles. I don't haul much. When I do its usually just a few 4 wheelers or a trail rig on a flatbed trailer, a farm tractor (not much bigger than a Ford 3000) now and then. Rarely more than 40 miles from home.

I've read and heard that a 265 is the widest tire I can run without spacers on the duals. What sidewall ratio on a 265 would give me a little bit taller tire than my current tires?

Any opinions on a decent riding MT or aggressive AT that won't break the bank?

hmm, no input. :humm:

I guess I'll have to figure it out myself.

not sure if there what you want but 255/85-16 should fit.

I like my hankook dyna pro atms. They have the deepest tred out of any all terrain I have ever run.
