    So I will be needing new tires by fall. The question is what size? 305s(33.6") are wider but the 295s are a tad taller (around 34.2")

    My current setup is a 275/70/18 (-2 offset) 4/3" lift kit w/ DK UCAs & AAL. CMC + pinch weld + Liner trimming/molding already completed.

    Do you go off road? Wider tire helps in the sand, a narrow tires runs well in the mud, Michelin's run great on road.

    I just threw on the 295/75/16 KO2's a couple days ago. I have a 4 in rough country lift and I have a nice rub going on with my cab frame. Will be getting CMC soon

    Nice! How bad. Any photos. I have a cmc already done with a trimmed liner and hammered pinch weld. Just hoping it was a deep enough chop

    Pretty bad I think? Maybe I'm over analyzing it, I can't pull into my driveway without rubbing.
