    Too few to list.
    Wide vs thin all depends on terrain. I think my next tire size would be 255/85r16 ST Max.

    Ended up going the LT KO2 route today and like them a lot this far. Also up-sized to 265 75 16 and have seen zero rubbing lock to lock. Havent tried anything with articulation though. The firmness whilst cornering compared to the stock T/A is incredible. Much more of the handling feel I was hoping for when I bought it. I do notice the truck feels a faint bit more sluggish at slow speeds, and need to keep on the gas a little harder, but only slow do I notice it. The trade-off.

    My TPMS lit up on my way home, so I stopped and checked pressure. All a variety of 38 to 41 PSI. Way over what was recommended on the truck specs. These 10ply can handle high air pressure loads, but need to check the tread wear pattern with tire chalk to see how the weight is being spread out.

    Is the alternatively high pressure now in my tires a cause of the TPMS error? Whats the sensitivity and range? Can they be reset?
