I work in a Goodyear dealer as a tech. and we have install lot of the 305/70/16 with very satisfied customers. The truck has to be a 4x4 ofcourse. Depending on body lean when the wheels are cranked all the wat one way they might slightly rub on the sway bar.

I've been using Dunlop Radial Mud Rover 255/85R16's for the last 21K... about half worn... limited slip rear-end really chewing them up now... I rotate every 5K... 255s added 1. 5" actual ground clearance to truck... filled up wheel-wells a bit but lookin' at commercial medium M/S to replace... in the long run will be cheaper... but OUCH... initial cost kinda high!!!

Do you guys put those 305's on the stock 6. 5" rim? If you do, doesn't the tread wear in the middle?

I have a 97 2500HD 4x4 with these tires on it. I mounted them on 8x16 allum rims. I rotate them every 7k miles. I have 27k miles on them and they don't seem to be wearing much. Look good, but what I really like is the improved ride.
