    Nope. They are P rated passenger tires. For some reason, C load rated are lower weight rating than the P on the truck stock

    If your referring to the KO2's. I took them off with less than 500 miles and sold them. I've been running the c-load 265/75/16 dura-tracs for about 36,000 miles now. Not a single issue. I bought the first set at Discount Tires. They had to balance them multiple times, replace an out of round one and it still didn't work out. I returned them within 3 days and said forget it. I than ordered through Tire Rack, they sent them to my local Firestone tire center and they balanced out fine the first time. Been running them ever since. One thing to note is, Discount Tires uses a Road Balance machine and Firestone uses the old school wheel balancer. Not sure if that made the difference. Currently on the fence about bumping up to 285's but I really should regear beforehand.

    Mostly interested in the wheel + tire size combo. Don't care about tire model.

    Oops. Sent that picture from my phone and wasn't paying attention. Yes. There are spider trax spacers behind those wheels. The Dura tracs sat nicely flush with the fenders but when I swapped to my Snow Tires, Bridgestone Blizzaks, they sat way inside the fender so I bought spacers to bring them out. In this pic I decided to leave the spacer on but it does throw a lot of crap on the sides of the truck. Good catch.

    Wow, i read so many stories about balancing issues. I had 2 sets of ko2s, E and C. No issues balancing at all. My buddy had 2 sets as well C and E, no issues balancing at all.

    My next set will be ko2, unless someone comes up with beefier sidewall for their AT tire.
