What tire are you dually owners running, and why? I am looking for a nice meaty tire for winter mud and muck on the farm.

I'm running TOYO 265 AT's and like them for traction , braking and wet roads. A better buy for farm use would be "Mastercraft AT's Commercial grade. They bare made by Cooper, are tough and give good mileage. Met two ranchers at the tire shop when I put my TOYO's on and they both said MAStERRCRAFT Commercials is the only tire for them., Thet said they hold up better than Goodyears, Michilen and TOYO's. Thier trucks are in the field a lot and rocks are tough on tires. They also spend time on the highway pulling big goosenecks hauling cattle and ranch supplies.

Well for the winter here in Kentucky it gets sloppy, so I ordered Mastercraft Courser MT's. 235/85/16 They have the beef.

How are you getting around the speedo and ABS recalibration, and what about the lack of spacing between the duals with wider tires and a load?

It does not affect my 04 at all. I have plenty of room and never have any troubles. A buddy of mine does all the time. Wonder why this is?
