speedo should be same if you change to 265. 285 is width of tire. Middle number is height from wheel to tread height.

Are these the duelers? Thats what I have on my suburban and am totally pleased! I messed up and let it get out of line. Wore the insides a bit. Have 53,000 miles on them now. If I can stand the humming that started from being out of line I will probably get 65,000 miles out of them! Probably 75,000 without alignment problem. I have never had a traction problem either. Justy got back from Ohio with my new 260 powerquest. Never spun a tire even on the roads with fresh snow!
Alwasy been a Michelin man...but they are getting pricy.
Generals...Ouch, bottem of the heap. Had a 99 F350 Diesel Duellie Crewcab....Ford put 2 sets on it under warranty. Never lasted more than 12,000 miles.
