tire question

anyone use 285/75/15 tires on 03 F250 SD with a plow? Trying to decide if they would rub when the plow is on the front or not?

Regarding tires....there's no shortage of opinions as to which brand is best

A couple of links that may help you decide:

I know which brand of tire I want, just wondering the biggest size I can put on the factory rim with running a plow without the tire rubbing. I am thinking about adding a leveling kit, but don't want to buy the tires taht will require the leveling kit. If the 285's will rub while i have the plow on without installing a leveling kit, I will probably get the 265's to be safe. however if the 285's will be fine without the leveling kit and with the V plow on, I will go with the 285's.
