that will fit on the stock 16x8 wimp wheel!!! i would like something aggressive and i prefer a load e. i like the bfg ata's, how well will they work? i like the aggressive look of those tires and road noise isn't a concern. my 06 lbz doesn't tow for crap and i think a bigger/better tire would be a big improvement.

thanks for the help!

you'll be really happy with the BFG's, They are some tough som*****es!! Laast long, great ride, low noise, great offroad, They do it all. Ive had 4 sets over the years, i cant wear em out unless im burning em off!

I have the BFG A/T's 285's load range D, I like them alot, but you will have to go with the 265/75's to get load range E in the BFG's

i would like something that is a direct bolt on, i don't want to have to do an alignment or crank the bars.....is the 265/75's the way to go?

thanks!

I fit the 285's only with cutting the front inner fender a bit, no other mod is needed I never get any rub. The 265's would be a bolt on and go tire uprgade.

The 265's would be a bolt on and go tire uprgade.can you elaborate on the cutting of the fender? i don't mind doing stuff like that, i just don't want to have to get a $100 alignment on top of the cost of tires, mounting, balancing...etc!

thanks!

Fender no Inner wheel well is what I should have said I took about 6in of the front and that was it. Took the dremel 10min and it was done ill try to find the pic I have. also what kind of truck dually, 2500 ?? you don't have your sig filled out

that would be awesome if you find the pics, i really appreciate it!

thanks!

Ok found the pics, Measured up approx 6in from bottom then cut straight across with dremel tool

ok man, thanks!

16x6.5 is the size of stock "wimp wheel" and BFG a/t's do come in 285 and "E" range now.

BFG a/t's do come in 285 and "E" range now.

now why couldent they have done that 1yr ago :(

Might want to check out the michelin tires also. Many on this board are getting 80,000 plus miles out of them, many while towing. I have friend who is a farmer, and his last set he got 108,000 miles out of them, and had 60 on his current set and they look like they will go 100,000 plus on this set.

I have had BFG on a few trucks and have been very happy with them, just another option to through out there.

I have them in 265 in a load range E on my truck.

Michelin LT/MS 265-75-16E

so whats the proper size for the 285's....75's or 70's?????????

im ready to order and i decided on the 285's, just want to make sure it should be a 285/75/16

thanks!

It all depends on what your doing, if your doing a lot of highway and towing. I would reccomend the Michelin LTX M/S 265's, I have both, I havve 2 sets of wheels a stock set with the MIchelin and a Stock set with the BF Goodrich 285's. The BFGoodrich is good if your towing a tag along but if you have a gooseneck your going to want the "E" load range Michelins.

i have a tag along box, the mich's are too pricey and not aggressive looking enough for me. the bfg's are on back order so thats why i was checking out the nitto's....thanks for the reply

I'm not sure I understand why tires would make your truck "tow" better. I tow a 37 foot 5th wheel with stock tires/rims, and it tows great.

well, this is what i ended up ordering tonight....http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Dueler+A%2FT+Revo&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=675R6ATREVOWL10&fromCompare1=yes&place=27

i got a $75 rebate and decided to just go with 265's...should be a big improvement over the stock tires if for nothing else at least they are much better looking!

thanks guys!

bfgs will always work
