Yes I know another dually tire question.:rolleyes: ..SORRY!! It's time to upgrade my tires I want to go with the 255/85s but not sure if they will fit. Has anyone ran with these or know if it can be done??? I have the eagle 058 rims on the truck. I really dont want to run with a "BIG" spacer. I only tow 11000# max Thanks!

People here seem to have gone both ways on this, I personally don't think that size will be a big problem (just make sure to keep your rear tires max inflated when towing heavy loads)
I'm going to put 255's (Michelins) on my dually when whats on there wears out, so I'm curious as to how they'll work for you (if that's what you decide)
For more info (really mostly opinions), do a search for "dually tires"
I'm running 235/85R16 on the stock rims. They sit very close so I only worry when I pull 20,000# of trailer and hay about 15 times a year. When doing that I make sure that the tires are @ 80 psi. The rest of the time I run 65 to 70 psi so that the tires don't rub when running empty or pulling my 4 horse trailer.
