Default Dually Tires

Any suggestions for a LT225/75-16 or a LT235/75-16? I want a smooth sidewall and non aggressive tread for a slammed 2wd dually

I've got toyos on my slammed dually and it rides like a dream, I have 19.5's though. I have close to 70 k miles on the rear ones and they ride perfect. I put new drive tires on every 2 years because they cup from me running them a little under inflated.

If it's a 90's model GM then it came with 225/75R16'S. I went through the original Generals, then Goodyear Wrangler HT and finally Michelin. The Mich's are by far a superior tire to all the others I tried. Better wear and ride like a dream.

As far as going with 245's, they probably won't work. Was debating it on my old dually but there wasn't enough clearance between the rear tires. You could create a very dangerous situation.

Michelin LTX/ MS use the 235s and you will not need spacers.

The OEM Generals lasted just 41,000 miles on my 2006 Dodge dually. I switched to Michelin LTX M&S. Great ride and handling, plus no noise.

Are the Michelin LTX series available in the 19.5" for the F-450's?

I'll let you know later today Chuck. I am looking into replacements for my 450 as well. I own a tire and car care center so I'll do a little digging and let you know what I come up with.
