they rub, and they are load range D. want to go with the E range. Even tho the 295 is rated at 3150lbs I think you can only go to 60 psi. My TT is about 9k loaded so want the E tire

Nitto All Terrain. Its back there now getting 285s. was looking at BFGs when I decided to go to 285 from 295, but the nitto have a much higher load rating in the Es at 285 70 17. I have had both in the past and they are both good tires. Not worried about warranty or anything as my buddy is Discount Tire Manager and treats me fair

Do you have spacers on the truck? My local Discount Dealer won't do ANYTHING on a vehicle with ANY spacers. Not even rotate tires.

They will repair, mount, balance as long as I bring them the rims and tires off the truck.

I LOVE the wheels, I wonder how they would hold up to the salt they put on our roads up here.
