Excursion Tire Sizes
I have a 2001 4x2 Limited V10 and was wondering if I could put 285/75R16's on it. I do occasionally tow 8000lbs. If I were to get E load range in that size, would it be a problem when towing? Do they fit ok on the stock rims? Thanks. Any recommendations on tire brands?

I just put a set of Yokohama Geolander HT/S 285/75R16 Load Range D on mine. Really nice profile. They are rated at 3,300 lbs, the same as some E's.
Towed my 8,000lb travel trailer last night - very stable. Minimal tire bulge going from empty to loaded at 50psi.
They look good, very quiet, not as harsh as my BFG All-Terrains were, and tow well.
Check the Yokohama site for tire profile.

I have looked all over for E-rated 285's, they don't exist. I saw a parked 4X4 with 305's, (BFG AT's) a few days ago. It was stock ride height with stock rims, 7-inch (I think), and a quick look didn't reveal any rubbing. The D rated 305's have a much greater load capacity than the 285's and look good too! Has anybody tried them? Any thoughts/opinions?

They do look good. Took some pics last night. I didn't have time to post, but will do tonight.

Good looking truck Norm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Course I'm partial to black :-) (chk my gallery - both cars are !)
Is that a limited ? and did you remove the chrome strip like the one that came on mine ?
I've seriously considered it, but just haven't yet...
