Trucks, Trailers, Towing and Misc Accessories

[BARN FIND]

I have a 03 Ram 2500 and although it is 4WD it still runs the same size tires stock. I do not really like the Michelin tires, they don't have what I would consider great traction in the rain or off road. And when I say off road I don't mean out in the boonies 4 wheeling, I mean driving through the yard especially when it is wet. In the 265 size I like the BFG AT and I like the Mastercraft Courser A/T even more. They both run quiet and have great traction in all situations. Also, most tire companies make this 265 tire in both E and C load range, E is stock and it is what you need. Also if you get BFG's and you want a little more attitude you can put 315-70-17 on the back ( they won't fit on the front of a 2WD stock) they have the same 3195lb load range as the 265 E's. A friend of mine owns a tire store so I have had all of these tires on mine at one time or another, I even put some 265 C load range on this winter to see if it would smooth out the ride since I didn't plan on towing anything all winter.

I also spoke with a tire employee at COSTCO about BFG Commercial T/A All Seasons in 225 X 75 X 16 that are 29.4 inches dia 8.8 wide on a 6" Rim. Has anybody seen or tried 16" wheels/tires on a Pace, Haulmark, trailer with 6 lug, 5000# axles......

[/ QUOTE ] Chuck, I have seen a LOT of VERY high $$$$ offshore boat guys running these Comm T/A's lately.. i'm talking 1/2M to 1.5 Mil boats here.... no issues whatsoever... if they trust them for that they are damm sure good for me.. i'd buy them in a heart beat..
