My 59 F250 4x4 needs tires and I am not ready to pull the trigger on new. Used 235x85x16 are hard to come by. I was digging through my tire rack and I have a set of 265/75/16. Has anyone ran tires this size and do they rub when turning? I know it will be a little tougher steering but I won't drive it much. thanks

 

i run 285 75 R16 on 59 f100 4x4 with factory lift. No rubbing. Easy to steer when moving but a slight challenge to park.

 

Nice truck. I'd be afraid to offroad mine if it looked that good. Thanks for the feedback.

 

Wow! What color is that? It looks great!

 

Is it just me or is that Darth Vader holding the camera?

I prefer running the original Type of Bias Plys by Coker these days.

My summer tires are 38.5x16.5 super swamper and they dont rub. I think your safe.

The rear was a different story, had to open the front edge of the rear fender. Fronts are stock with stock springs.
