    Thanks! That's my other rig! I love em both the same but I'll never sell the Trooper. She's getting a new motor as soon as that Chevy 2.8L takes a crap.

    Here's a photo of her all cleaned up

    Not running ST Maxx's, but I run 30-45 PSI in my CXT's and they're decently comfy at 30.

    Did you fix your speedometer? Remember that the 33's will trick your speedo and odo because you're going ~8% faster/further than the truck thinks. 16.2mpg vs 15.

    Edit: I also run about 40 in my CXT's, I find it helps MPG's but kills the back.

    O_O that actually makes a whole lotta sense. I didn't factor that in to my MPG maths. So after doing the math at the pump, I should add 8% to it?

    That's what I do. Once I get my speedo calibrator I can confirm that.

    Are there any 255/85 tires that come in load range C? Asking for a friend.

    My friend says no :( I think there are some 265/70R16's that may, but the 255/85 is considered a dually tire so they don't tend to get much low-weight-rating love. Others may know more, ymmv, I'm not the all-knower, etc.

    Yeah I currently have Goodyear Duratracs 265/76r16 in load range C. I thought I remembered someone mentioning either a 255/85r16 or a 255/80r17 in load range C. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking.

    There are a couple of "D range" options, but no "Cs" that I know of.
