Cheap MT's??

Will the 285/70/17 treadwright warden tires fit with bilstein 5100's set at 2"? Thx

 

These are the best pictures I have of my Maxxis bighorn 32x11.50. I love these tires, they are great in all conditions and they wear really good. I have had them on for almost exactly 2 years and they are still in excellent condition with lots of tread left. My vote is definitely for these!

 

Treadwrights are recaps and have been known to separate.Granted many of the reported cases are from heavy towing applications but no way would I risk my families life just to save a few bucks. 265 75 16 will rub IF your suspension is worn. Sagging front springs will create slight rubbing on the frame at full lock and the occasional buzz of the fender when cycling the suspension.

Not every 265 75 16 are the same dimensionally it varies by manufacturer and tread design. If you have older suspension and a MT they will rub, but it's very minimal.

I'm zero help in the purchasing department but if you live in a cold or icy climate get them siped!! My old Firestone Destination MT were like driving on frozen hockey pucks in the winter. Good luck!

 

I think it depends on the tire. I have 265/75/16 and a leveling kit and I still rub.

 

I heard Super Swamper Boggers were pretty cheap!

 

What's a good way to tell if my suspension is worn. It seems fine to me

 

How many miles on the truck?

 

It has right at 95000 miles right now

 

Probably worn. Recommended to change shocks every 50k

 

OEM crap, yes.
A good after-market brand, who actually knows.
While IFS, I had over 40K on my ICONS before I needed to have them re-built and went to extended travel... and I beat the crap out of them.

Good luck, I hope this helps you.
