Good Morning all
Question here...need to put some tires on my new-to-me truck. Just switched out the old 16.5 rims to some cool 16" inchers but the Mickey Thompson's MTZs on them are balder then Dr. Evil. I am learning about tire sizing...I have a opportunity to pick up some 265 75 16s with 60% tread left...they are Hankook DynaPros and the set mounted and balanced is $180. Reviews seem good and they have a load rating of E. I am currently running 285 75 16s, is there any reason or argument to either not go down in size or walk away from this deal? Any input is welcome. FYI...budget DOES NOT allow for a new set of LT tires right now, so working with what I have to make the truck safe to haul a horse trailer...Thanks! Oh, its a 1990 F250 4x4 XLT 7.3 IDI stock suspension.
Also noted...I live in Western Washington, ice, rain, and mud all part of the deal. I just noted some of the reviews on this tire are saying terrible for anything besides dry highway running...
