Cap,,

I'll list a few prices for you to look at, so when you start shopping around you won't get "taken to the Cleaners" We don't stock the Yoke's or Cooper in Light Truck, so I won't be able to price you on those

265/75R16
BFG Radial AT KO 8Ply - $139.95
BFG Rugged Trail T/A 10ply - $126.00
Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 6ply - $137.45
Goodyear Workhorse X-Grip 10ply - $121.00
Michelin LTX A/S 10ply - $149.41
Michelin LTX M/S 10ply - $159.79

These are the prices that we sell to Tire Dealers for all over the U.S.

Good Luck!! Mitch

you can go to 285"s on that truck with stock suspension. what you need to do is turn the torsion adjuster up most of the way, this does stiffen the ride some. then trim the bottom corner of the bumper cover just a little. you will need to have the alignment reset after raising the torsion bars. this gives the truck a somewhat raised look some of my customers like that this takes away the "nose down" look. the dealer can reprogram the ecm to partially correct the speedo error caused by the bigger tires.

I know that we stock that tire, but I'll have to check and see that we do have them. They are 177.00 per tire plus shipping of around 12 to 14 dollars per tire. Shop around and see if that will save you any money,, remember your going to have to pay to get them mounted and balanced somewhere.
If you want, call me Tuesday and I'll check and see if they are in stock.

Thanks but I found some locally. I appreciate the help, I had to let the guy know yesterday and OSO was acting up, so I couldn't get on the check this thread. Thanks for the effort, sorry to take up your time.

I had the OEM Firestone tires on my 2500HD and they where JUNK.. They lasted about 21000 miles and that was it... I put on BFG all terrain KO's on it and I now have almost 70000 on the truck and the tires are going strong still. I would say a good 7-9K miles left in them. Would not consider another tire. I dont have a boat anymore to pull, but I do pull a 14,000Lb trailer around almost daily and no issues.

Re: Tires
 
The stock GM wheel is only 6.5" wide, I was looking at the Michelin 265's, and they recommended at least a 7" wide wheel. I would be comfortable squeeze a 265 on the rim, but do the 285's wear right? What P.S.I. do you guys run? Does any one pull a 5th wheel with front end lifted?
