Passenger Tires on 1997 F-250HD
Hey y’all, I went down to the local tire place and replaced my LT235/85/16 with 255/70/16. I traded some stuff for them a while back and did not notice the difference. Was going to use them because I just had them sitting around. I do not haul heady loads or tow, just use the truck as a daily driver work truck. Will I have any issues running on passenger tires? Thanks

I did that swap with my truck. Same size just not the LT. Running then at a pressure slightly lower than the LT tires.
Truck rides better. I'm not hauling anything near the MAX GVW.
I noticed it took that sharp "shock" out of pot holes and other bumps that rattle your teeth.
Anything heavy and I load it on my trailer.
