Wow, what a difference going up one tire size makes in the looks of our trucks. I'm now sporting MB Motoring Overdrive wheels with cooper 265's. I was a little surprized I had to trim some plastic in front of tires where they were rubbing. Gonna keep the original wheels and tires for future visits to the dealer. I'm not sure how they feel about slightly oversized meats.

I can't believe the dealers are so anal about a slight increase in tire size.

Thank goodness the dealer I go to outfits their trucks with custom wheels and tires from a local shop.

They say the tire has to be a stock size. 265/65 is a stock size now on the SRW 3500's, so I don't see a problem...
