    I feel like I need bigger tires. But my wallet tells me no

    Your wallet doesn’t know what’s best for your truck.

    I really depends how you use your truck , for off road only , then maybe :burnrubber:

    Well if you said to yourself NO, then may have some reasons:
    * The wallet talked to you and said "No"
    * You don't have a monster truck , our trucks are consider small pick up.
    * The ones who knows said ... the bigger , the heavier then more stress on brakes and suspension parts
    * The bigger you go the less MPG you get therefore...
    * More money at the gas station
    * IMHO the 265/70/16 are good enough

    I'm driving 245/75/16 E load 10 ply ... each tire is 48 lbs...:crazy: it was not my call , those came with the truck
    They looks badass, the Kelly AT 2014 design , anyway 28,000 on them , waiting to get 40,000 out of them to get rid of them

    I would like to go 235/70/16 Michellin Defender,
    Just looking for go to smaller size for smooth and
    gas saver ride not off road at all.:drunk:

    Any opinions on going for smaller size for my case ?

    I was looking at 285/75r16s, I use my truck to commute to school 30 miles away. It already kinda sucks, and I also want MTs cause louisiana is just mud but thats not a good financial decision sooo just gonna stick with these for a while then get some 285 ATs

    Nice snorkel, is that the eBay special for 1st gens or a diy setup? Looking for a diy setup to work with fiberglass fenders
