    265/70/17 will rub a tiny bit on the sport spoiler. Every once in a while when im turning into a driveway or hitting a dip ill get that BRRRR but it wouldnt stop me from buying them again.

    Have stock suspension, oem mudflaps, and 265/70/17's. Never had a rub issue, even at full lock/stuff. If you're talking about the wind dam. That should not affect tires. Unless you have aftermarket wheels it should not rub at all.

    Loving my 265/70/17s so far, and I'm definitely loving this truck more and more every day. IMG_20190930_145751.jpg

Too soon to give any real feedback, but first impressions are great! The new wheel/tire combo changed the whole look and attitude of my truck. I’m digging it.

    Beautiful truck, all the way up to, but not including the front plate. You need to pressure wash the stink off of it sir.....(Geaux :))

    I have not had that experience, but in my opinion, get rid of the spoiler, most thinks it looks better anyway.

    Yeah that's latin. When designing websites or making large documents we use "Lorem Ipsum" as a place holder to see how big bodies of text will look once finished. Pretty key that this website was recently slapped together.

    Walmart had the 265/70/16 listed for 123$ and discount tire said they would match. Still trying to decide if I’m going to wait for a sale or pull the trigger now.

    I’m set for some 265/70/17 my next question is do I pay a little more and go to les Schwab and put them on my father-in-laws account or do I pay upfront and go to a cheaper place like DT or Walmart etc?? ( last time I put tires in his account he ended up paying it off.. Thanks)

    Oh and what load range do you recommend for a weekend warrior! Carrying little to no weight

    See if Les Schwab will price match the tires.

    I would go with an SL if I were you.
