    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    I got the rims with a decent set of Nitto Terra Grapplers for $225, I couldn't pass the deal up at the time and really haven't had a reason to get rid of them nor have I had the money to buy a new replacement set.

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    The 285 sides are 14mm taller than the 235/85 tires, less than 9/16 of an inch. Thats not all that much difference. The 50mm difference in width is definitely more of a factor, almost 2 inches. I got a feeling I may lean towards the 285/75-16 Toyo M55 tires......

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    I document most every tank of fuel for mileage and calculate for different size tires in the equation. So far I have ran -Toyo M55 235-85-16's on 16x7 steel rims -Nitto Terra Grappled AT 305-70-16's on 16x9 aluminum rims -Mickey Thompson muds, 305-70-16 on the same aluminum rims -Cooper...

    Make which ones in E rating? Both the 265 Transforce AT and the 285 Cooper AT3's are E rated.......

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    That's good to know. I upgraded from the Transforce HT's to the AT's because of the fact that the last 1/4 of the tread isn't too good. I got the Coopers on my IDI and can't knock them. Good for everything but mud and especially good on the road and in the snow.

    Thanks for the info, Scott. I have that exact ser of tires on my company truck and am very happy with them so far. I haven't checked to see the largest Transforce tire offered yet......

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I spit the rear driveshaft out on Friday evening so a new u joint went in today. I also tightened up a loose trans mount and rotated the tires. I couldn't stand putting the dirty rims out back so I cleaned them up a bit too.

    I'm running a 7.3 with an 093 ATS turbo, ZF 5speed, 4:10's and 285/75-16 Cooper AT3's right now. 217hp/385ft/lbs at the wheels.

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    I had 35/12.50-15 BFG Muds on 15x10 Outlaw 2 rims on my 74 F100 with 4" lift and 4:10's with a very healthy 390 pushing it along, that was a great combo of parts, kinda what I'm trying to replicate here.

    92 Idi? or 94 power stroke?

    My IDI tows 15,000lb traliers and shows me up to meetings on Sundays. You guys are lucky having multiple rigs! That PSD was a DEAL! I'm sure you will have it going in short order. Good luck with it!

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    I am currently running Coopers and am pretty happy with them. The picture below is what I tow and have gone from Baltimore MD to Atlantic City NJ, did 60-65 on the interstates without any problem.

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    I haven't looked at 295's, I will have to check them out. Calvin, I have a company truck that I can use so I am contemplating larger tires for the 1st time. I did see 255/85-16's and am wondering if I'd be happy with them.

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    Yeah but a wider rim gives added stability and the 315 has a 3800lb load rating @ 65psi compared to a 235/85-16's 3100lb rating @ 100psi. The bigger tires hold more load and ride better doing it.

    Its going to be a very difficult decision, tires........

    After the holidays it will be time for tires and what a quandary that will be. This is gonna be worse than a woman picking out a purse. I currently have a front AAL and rear air bags which have 80psi in the pics and am running 285/75-16's on 16x9 rims. Options: - replace with same size tire...

    I drove my kids around this weekend. Truck does a bunch of sitting lately, not good!

    Stopped to look at someone's yard ornament today.

    I will pitch the fact that I'm offering him a service by removing the truck from his yard, for arguments sake, I'm relieving him of an eyesore by now. He has no means to move it by himself and he won't have to expend any of his time if he sells it to me!

    I will check up on it again in a week or two. I'm working 7pm-7am and have a 2hr drive on each side of the shift so time is really tight for the next week or better. The truck is 2wd.

    Stopped to look at someone's yard ornament today.

    I haven't had the chance to talk money yet, I left my name and number with the owners wife. I put $500 out there more for conversations sake. I will keep you guys posted on any developments whether good or bad.

    Stopped to look at someone's yard ornament today.

    Hmm, now you got me thinking. I really want a supercab 4x4 dually flatbed. I could sell the bed, at least the dog houses, they are always in demand. I'd be plenty ok with an auto, C6 in particular so I could most likely get some money out of the zf, petals and such as well.

    Stopped to look at someone's yard ornament today.

    This truck has been sitting for many years. Factory turbo idi, 5 speed. The clutch is to the floor and turbo is missing. Interior is musty as all get out, rust blisters from sitting on lower body. She has been repainted at some point and was a tow rig, has G/N ball and electric brakes. The...
