I'm looking at the BFG muds or goodyear MTR in that size and was wandering if anyone has run either in this relatively new size and how well they balanced on stock rims for highway driving. Anyone? Thanks!

 

Content deleted, my 95 has 16" wheels and is a different truck so what works on mine may or may not work on yours.

I have 285/70/17 Toyo A/Ts on my stock wheels (chrome steel). No problems with fit or balance. Fills the wheel wells better, Speedo was 3 mph fast with the stock tires, dead on now. It's a load range D tire but my weight rating stayed the same at 3195 lbs at 65 psi instead of 80 psi. Not really an issue for me anyway.

 

That is my plan too. Bought F250 grey steel wheels for $60 a set and have my Goodyear MTR's on order. Since the F350's have 33" tall tires stock the speedo should be very close. Cooper makes this size in the STT model. Just another option.

 

how wide is teh 285/70/17?

 

Width is approx 11.5". So you could say it's approx a 33-11.50-17.

 

cool, thanks

 

Are the argent steel wheels 17X8 or 17x7? On 05/06

 

My tire guy says they are 7.5" like all the other 17" wheels Ford uses.

 

The guys @ SDHQ (gilbert) say that 315/70-17s will fit with a leveling kit. The don't say how much tire wear is accelerated however.

 

they will work im runnin the same size of tire on my 04 superduty bit im runnin mastercraft courser c/t's

there are a few guys running 315x75x17's on their SD. I am now trying to decide which size to go with myself! Good Luck

 

315/75-16 or 315/70-17? I have performed a search and come up empty handed
