    Apparently, the water pump has been leaking for a while. Darn thing, nasty. Poor truck.

    Anyone run a 295/75-16? I'm thinking about going with Dynapro MT according to their website they are 33.6" I know I'll have hammer the pinch weld but how much more then 285?

    I'm curious why you would want such a wide tire, any specific application? I don't know of anywhere in Cali muddy enough for that. Even around Hollister after a downpour there isn't deep enough mud for that. Now if you're going 500 miles east I understand, 295 just seems really really wide for anything but axle-swallowing sand/mud/powder-snow.

    According to the calculator, the tread will be at least a 1/4" closer to the pinch weld and it will be a 1/4" wider overall. Are they going to be on the same rims that the 285's are on now?

    You may not need much additional room. How about the front of the wheel well? Does the RF hit the washer reservoir shield now under flex?

    What washer reservoir? HEHEHEHE

    I don't have 285s been waiting till my current ones were done. I had never considered 295s before but looking at their website the width seems negligible, just taller:notsure:

    I'm a skinny tire guy but none in what I want now and figure I'm going to Alabama so might as well get ready for some mud.

    Yeah, me too. In the process of buying some 255/85/16s actually.

    If you're headed to Alabama then I understand your desire for wider tires, if you're in an area where you can chuck a rock and it'll land in more than a foot of mud then wide is the way to go.:mudding:
    Definitely look into the 285s as well as the 295s, many on here run 285s without rubbing.

    Yeah, I say go for it man, if that's what you like. You can check mine out at slick rock . I rolled the same tires last year with no problems. Just a lot of pounding and trimming :)

    Haha yeah that's one of my problems, I'm used to thinking rocks, dirt, snow and fuck mud. Don't think I'll be able to avoid it now. I had been planning on 285s but it seems the dynapros are the same width.

    It looks like they are 11.6 according to their website.

    Ah, I see. I'm definitely wearing through mine. Wife will have a cow if I bring it up though :) learned my lesson on used tires, would rather just buy them new from now on. Be interested to see what you roll up with! Btw you check the weather up at lake alpine? Burrrrrr
