tire size
Hi Folks,
I tried a search but didn't really find what I wanted to know. Anyway, my '90 F250 4x4 has stock tires/whls (235/75-16?). Can I get by with 285/75-16 without changing anything on the truck? Tis size is about 2" wider and 3" taller than stock (11.5" x 35" +/- a little). It LOOKS like I have plenty of room, think I can do it without any trouble?
Thanks, Dave

It doesn't see the real road except for short trips to the feed store or some hauling (everything well within 15 miles). My big concern is that it seems the ground is always wet here, and my stock tires can really screw up some surface. Thought a bigger foot would save some topsoil. Or, am I thinking wrong?
Thanks, Dave
