Yet another tire sizing question :)
Hi,
I've ordered a set of BFG All-Terrains (295/75/16) for installation on my '02 PSD. It has the stock suspension and wheels, and I've seen on the National Tire and Wheel website that these should fit with no modification. Anyone else out there running these tires on an otherwise stock PSD?
Thanks!

What kind of mileage are you getting oout of the BFG's
I am thinking about going from a 265 to a 305.
May add a leveling kit.

The 75 refers to the tire's aspect ratio, which is a measure of the tire's height as a percentage of its width.
The 16 refers to the diameter of the wheel the tire is mounted on.
I found a tool on the Internet that allows you to enter these values to determine the tire hieght, which resolves to 33.42" tall.
Hope this helps!

I read that a good test of proper inflation is to draw a thick line across each tire with a piece of chalk and then drive it for a couple of tire rotations and then look at each line. If it's worn off in the center but not the sides, you have too much air pressure. If it's worn off on the sides but not the middle, you have too little air pressure.
