Tire size for 3" lift

I have been looking for awhile through the treads and still can't decide what tire size I want. I am looking at 265, 275 and 285s for 17" wheel. I don't want to cut a lot on the truck. I will be installing a 3" lift before I install the tires. If anyone has any insight or pics of your truck would be greatly appreciated.

 

265/75/17 without cutting.

 

Pics are literally everywhere already.

Look around awhile, there's an answer to every question and 30 pics of anything you can imagine.. Welcome to TW.

 

285/70/17 with a little cutting and shitty gas mileage

 

Thanks for the help. A local tire guy is selling a set of 265 Coopers with a good amount of tread left for $250 mounted and balanced and thinking about them

 

Depending on tread depth (measured) and condition, it could be. My P265/75/16 Cooper ATP/AT3s were only $146 each, new.

 

These were the Discoverer ST Maxx

 

$180 a tire for those. Not saying it's a bad deal, but if they're not properly worn or measuring shallow then I'd pass.

 

Every used tire I've ever purchased has been a piece of crap. Good luck. Thank God those days are over.

 

I can't remember how the tread was worn but I think I might just stay on the safe side and buy a new set. Thanks for the help
