I'm running BF Goodrich All Terrain TA K02's right now and they seem to do pretty good other than having to rotate them every 2500 miles. I've heard there are better tires for these heavy Dodges like the Toyo or Yokohama but i haven't run anything else. I'll be buying 265/70-17 load range E.  What are you guys using? What to stay away from? Would like to stay with a similar tread pattern.

Typo

a bit curious of that myself. $80 a tire for load range E is out there.

@dripley thats what i thought too. I'll be finding out soon if he priced it right. 

I put a set of 315/75r16 Falken Wildpeak at3w on last year. That size came with 20/32 of tread and I got them from amazon for $180 each. They only have about 3500 miles on them so far but the ride is great and they look great too. I had been running toyos and even a few sets of  nittos before and I like these best so far.

Amazon has 265/70r17 for $160

My 4 years of running back and forth to Ontario I've ran Hankook ATm 235/85 R16 (31.7") and 245/75 R16 (30.5") tires. Excellent winter traction still running 55 MPH in snow. Got at least 60k miles from a set of tires no problem. Now that that has ended I'm might have to revisit my ideas on tires for something a bit more for offroad being this spring I'll be back to cutting firewood again. Excellent fuel economy, low rolling resistance.

Do you have a lift on your truck to be able to fit the 315s?

Yes, I have 2” Thuren springs and adjustable control arms.

Wish I would have saved my OBS PS wheels when I see your truck

I have thought about swapping to some new wheels but these are so easy to clean and look classic

Those OBS Ford wheels look awesome on your truck!  They remind me of the old Weld Super Singles I once had.  I wouldn't get rid of them if I were you...they look pretty sweet on the 2nd gen. 

Getting dirt commander's mounted 

576 for 285/70/17

 

These are a toyo mt copy

 

Sorry for all the pics. For some reason new rubber is always exciting. 

Well report as miles are put on these.

Stepped down a size from 285-75-17 to 285-70-17 

Truck is a 3500 with 2" lift spacers to get rid of the ugly 3500 rake. If anyone's curious

@Evan is one of your new tires supposed to be 265/70/17?  See 4th picture down.  Simple Tire has done me wrong in the past - wrong ply rating was sent.  I ordered the right part number, they sent the wrong thing.

Different tire, I think he was just showing the tread for similarities. 

That's the toyo t the tire shop. 

Kinda thinking I should have gone with 295s

These are feeling small. 

Just adjusted track bar to center trucking axle.  I've been about 3/4" off.

 

I'd say I'm within a 1/8" now

 

I see, whoops.

I thought that when I got 265, now I'm used to it

Clean. 

Probably wont wash her till the next set of tires

@Evan looks good. Wish mine was a long box. Mine had 245's on it when i bought it and they looked wrong. Run 265-75-16 going to 265/70-17 sooner or later. 

Thanks Greg.

I like decent sized tires

My 96 had 245 75 16's on it and they looked. The 265's suit me fine and look 3" taller even though they are not.

@Evan i do too but i dont like the wheel bearing and front end problems that go with them. 265 being a stock size is as big as i think I'll go. 305's on some 10's do look good though.

 My 98 (64k miles!) shop truck has 285/75-16 and they look huge compared to mine.
