Thats them....at the local big-o they have a discount for memebers of the utah wheelin board (which i'm on)

Everything all together including mounting/balancing and even tax comes to 405$!!!

Size: 265/75/16= 31.4x10.50

should fit well with a 2" body lift :)

Let me know what you guys think....should I spend a bit more and go with dunlop mud rovers or what....

DO a search for dunlop Mud tires on this board.

Go bigger and trim the truck to fit. :)
 






I can't this is the biggest I can go....my truck is used for showing clients homes....otherwise I'd do a 3" BL and a TT/Shackle and get me some 33's
 






Who says thats the biggest?

:)

Get some of those fancy electric step that lower when you open the door :P
 






You can fit 285s with a 2"bl with minimal trimming..it will look good. You can hide all your trimming and no one will even notice but it will look so much better than having all the gap with the 265s.
 






285/75/16 are 33"'s!!!

I can't really find any 285/70/16's
 






Sam's Club has good prices for Dunlop Mud Rovers:

LT265 75R16 = $104 each
LT285 75R16 = $118 each

These prices include shipping to your nearest Sams Club which is $8. I currently run the 285's and they grip really well offroad.
 






Does that price include mounting and balancing?

also how are they on noise?....I LOVE that tread patern but its gota make some serious noise...

I need to try and keep noise down to a minimum.....untill I become a millionare and have 3 rides this one will be the daily/business ride :)

P.S. I love your truck BenS....thats sweet...not to big not to small

No. Mounting, balancing, road hazard warrantee is $9 a tire at Sams Club.

To be honest, they're the first mud tire I've ever run so it's hard to comment on the noise. I can hear them with the windows up and they drown out my Borla exhaust at freeway speed. They're definately louder than my BF Goodrich AT's I had. The noise doesnt bother me though.

Thanks for the compliment! :D
 






Here's what the 265/75R15s look like. That as much gap fillage you are gonna get w/o lifting or some mass trimming.

Wuss. I got my 94 limited from Dre on the board... he used to show clients homes in it, and it's 5in of lift 33's roof rack and contents, winch 'n bumper, and then the spare tire carrier out rear. If ya like the tires, just get em, they're going to do you just fine.
