4x4 tires
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 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.
