tires
Has anyone put 2957516 BFG T/A tires on their superduty? They are 33.5 tall and 11.6 wide, should fill up fenders wells pretty good without going to 35's, which would need a lift. I hear they are hard to find anywhere now.:7

The tires should fit fine and look good. However, I'd recommend a new set of rims. While they have been proven to work just fine, I personally don't like the idea of running 295s on the OEM 16x7 rims.

I've got P305/70R16's on mine. The first set on the stock rims, the second set on Mickey Thompson 16x8 Challengers. From my experience, you're better off on the 8" rims, but the 7's will work. Just expect accelerated tread wear in the middle of the tire, even when inflated lower than usual. I went with the Goodyears because of better ride quality. I ran BFG's on my last two trucks (AllTerrain T/A's) and was tired of being hammered over expansion cracks and bad roads. Here in MI we have a 180,000 lb weight limit on semi's and combined with the freeze/thaw cycles it kills the roads.
