You want "E"'s, if you do any heavy hauling or towing.

 

[Scrappy]

Toyo also makes Both a 35" mud and allterrain tire that are E-rated. I second what Jwduke said.

 

[nick05]

what are the prices of the tires about $200 a piece. also what brands would you recommend for our trucks.



thanks again

I've had excellent service out of my 35 BFG mud terrains. Ride good, pull good, not to loud, get maybe 40000 on a set if you rotate and they handle a gbig load pretty well if you air them up.

Had very good luck with my 35 Trukus MT's. Could have got way more mileage if I wold have watched my air pressure better when they were new. They are Load D range, but if you do not tow real heavy they work great, did when I did. I still have mine and have over 30k on them and they are still going, getting a little low. Very good tires would recommend them just keep the pressure around 55psi and rotate them as oftne as you can.

Will 35's fit on a stock truck with no clearance problems? I have an 05 2500 completely stock.

they will fit height wise, but you will rub on the upper control arm at full lock to lock. I have 35 inch pro-comps, pics in my gallery. I now need to upgrade my front suspension to handle the bigger tires.

I have been running BFG 317X70X17 ATs with no lift and only a little rub at full lock. Rotated every 6K mikes... running 50 lbs front and 40 to 50 lbs rear depending if the bed is empty or carrying something (like my Buell). I have 53K miles on them so far and will get at least 10K more... really surprised!



Ride good and so far, no 'death wobble'... . hope this post doesn't jinx me.

I just wanted to note the 35x12. 50 r17 TrXus MT referred to earlier is actually an "E" rated tire.

 

[Nate]

I've never had a problem with rubbing on the control arm with 315/75r16s. I got the truck with Goodyear MTRs mounted on the stock 6. 5" wide wheels I'm now running same size BFGs with Weld Outback wheels.

How much did your mpg drop? Going to 35's

 

[Blakers]

If you get the H2 rims your tires will not rub at all - even at full turns. I love my BFG 315s and the truck runs so much better with them than the puny stock 265s. I think it has more power and accelorates quicker as it puts normal driving speeds into a higher torque range. I lost maybe 1 mpg (gps calculated), but a worthwhile loss. The truck now runs 2000 rpm at 72 mph and 1500 rpm at 55 mph.



The BFG D-rated 315 tires are rated for the same load as the BFG E-rated 265 tires.

Contact KORE or DRC for a new "Recon" suspension and you will have no problems with the Toyo 35-12. 5-17 Open Country M/Ts I just ordered a set from the for my 2500 with the PACE (Recon) system and expect 0% problems $325 each delivered to your door. E Rated

Blake, thats not a real bad loss in mpg.
