I had 35s (315/75-16) on stock rims for the life of them. They wore evenly and lasted as long as I wanted. I change tires more frequently than needed for safety and looks. I love a new tire and hate them when they are half worn. The heaviest towing I do is only 6000 pounds and tires were not a factor at all.

Dont worry about 295s and stock wheels. The change in size will affect towing performance, just something to keep in mind.

if sidewall flex is a worry, just eliminate it

Now those are deep rims, looks real good. Is that on stock or do you have any mods done to fit those?
