E rated 285/75/16's

Where can you find E rated 285's ? I hear BFG has them but have not found them.

I know you can get the Nitto terra Graplers in "E" range. Check out tires.com or tirerack.com

Bfg's in the E 285's can be had at your local Sam's club by special order. Even though you may have to get a membership, they will still have the best buy, more than enough to pay for the membership several times over.

The Bridgestone Dueller A/T with Uni-T and Bridgestone Dueller "REVO" with Uni-T both come in an E load range, but only up to a 265/75X16 size according to the Bridestone website: www.bridgestone.com

Since the 285 has become such a popular tire size, perhaps Bridgestone DOES make it in the E load range, but their website has yet to be updated to reflect it? Might be worth a call or two to your local Bridgestone tire outlet so they can research current spec's.

I purchased my Load D "REVO's" from CostCo and paid $153/corner, installed. The only fubar they did was to not upgrade the valve stems to a heavy duty valve stem that can handle the tire pressure the REVO's call for. Easy fix though...

Pix of my 285 REVO's in my gallery, if you're interested.

Best,
Daryl

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with any online tire dealers. Way too much hassle and their inventories are often pretty dated.

At last inquiry my local Sam's club could get the E rated 285's, and that was 2 months ago.

My Sams Club isn't any better on prices than the local tire dealers!

Checkout tirerack.com. They have lots of truck tires and consumer ratings. You can also pull up a graph of the consumer ratings for a group of tires. I have stock rims on my 00 F250 Sd 4x4 and went from a 285x35x16 to a 265x75x16, which has a higher load rating than the 285x35. When I was shopping the Bridgestone Revo had very high ratings.

Load range E tires

Try WalMart. They have a lot you can special order AND with the $9.95 install and lifetme balance package, you also get road hazard coverage. I have bought two sets from them for a 2000 F-250 I used to have and had no complaints. Unless things have changed, most dealers will not offer road hazard on a truck tire.

For me, it is much cheaper to buy online because I don't have to pay sales tax on $500 woth of tires. As a bonus, I have the ability to mount and balance tires myself.

not sure where your at but go to discount tire or tires.com online. nitto makes e's and bfg make's em too. if someone is cheaper including sams they'll beat it. but the one by me is the same price as sam's is. if you order from them online they have free shipping in case your not by a store.

Question Tire pressures ?

What tire pressure are you guys running in your tires when not towing ?
I've heard different pressures and am curious.
Thanks..
