Tire Recommendations For My 2000 Dually

It's time to put new tires on my dually. I am in need of recommendations. I am looking for tires that are middle of the road in terms of aggressiveness, preferably (a/t). I am also considering going up from the current 265s to possibly 285s. The truck is stock height and I may possibly level it. Would the 285s fit without it leveled?

I’m running good year duratracs they are really quiet and perform well. 325/65/18 prob gonna get 55,000-70,000 out of this set even with the “snow tread” down here in Florida. I’m 2 years into this set and rotate every oil change Check tire pressure frequently and get an alignment/check about 3 times a year. Can’t see my self running anything else next set will be my 3rd.

If you're in the snow belt, I run Cooper A/TW's they're Cooper's year round snow tires. I tow through the Rockies and my truck is 2wd, will definitely buy again. I'm at 30K right now and still have plenty of tread left on them.

Looks really good. I always thought any big blocky tire would be better in most conditions with more siping.

Yes, and in my opinion, with a stock 4x4 suspension, 285's look better too.
