Tires

[funnyman06]

So last night was pretty bad, someone slashed all 4 of my tires while i was parked in a parking lot.:***: So now i need to get new rubber. My question is what tires size should i be looking at. I want to get some tires with aggressive tread so if you have any ideas that would be great. I have the stock 16 inch rims, currently running 235/85/r16. So im looking to get something like 265/75/r16. So any help would be great. THX

u can fit 285/75/16s and they are a nice balance between width and height. i think they measure something like 33x11.50x16 compared to standard ratings.

i like the procomp all terrains and extreme all terrains.

I have an 85C20 chevy that came with the 235s and run 265s my speedometer is acurate.

I went with BF goodrich rugged terrains 10 ply i figure people with new dodge and ford diesels get nearly 100k its a good choice for a heavy truck

Ended up with BF goodrich A/T TA KO 235/85/r16 and 4 new rims. Pretty sweet, ill take pics after i wash my truck.

 

[WildWest]

did you get 10 ply? or at least 8?

 

[funnyman06]

They should be load range E. I actually have not looked yet. So E is 10 ply correct?

 

[WildWest]

Yeah E=10 ply d is 8

265/75/16 are more like 30" I had a set of 315/75/16 BFGs on 8" rims and they measured 33".
