Wonder what the weight ratios are and if they beefed up the axels, springs, etc. stock Dually can get 4.33 as an option so you might be close with lower ratios.

The side patio is only a patio not a ramp and it takes up space on the inside
We went to the toy hauler as my wife has some mobility issues and we tote her electric scooter. Thought is if she ever gets to where is can't get in using the steps she could ride in the back. So we opted for just the rear ramp and the extra space inside.

They are
BFG T/A KO2
34*10.5/17
No spacers.

I was expecting road noise, but they are as quiet at the stock tires. (Which are in my garage, if anyone knows someone.....)

Ok I understand your reasoning however there is no space lost inside by the patio, but you do lose the 3rd slider which offers less inside space than the patio outside space. So your trade off was have the slider not the patio. Thanks for the onsite.

I had those on my '08' and they didn't wear good at all on the front, chopped. On the back they wore great and the traction was great. Love the look of them on truck.

Whoa, I never even thought to look for that size. This could be a taller tire solution that doesn't involve 19.5's for me. I know there's the 255/80R17 but I don't want a full blown mud tire.


How much space do you have between the duals? I'm very interested to know. Errr. Not E rated. Dealbreaker for me.


Scraprat, I know these don't have a great reputation under heavy trucks, but did you rotate religiously? Hell, mine chops up the factory rugged trails, but 6k rotations has somewhat controlled it.
