    i see that your info says you're running 285s, but the tires in these pictures look smaller. just wondering what these are, they look good. im thinking about trying to run 265/75/16s with a 3" lift on an access cab, just wondering how it'll look

    He has had tires put on since those. He now has the Cooper Discoverer S/T's. And he loves them, they preform very well. I recommend those.

    I think you are correct in saying those are 265's in the picture. IIRC they were 265/70/16's not 75's. I could be wrong though. Those tires in that picture I'm pretty sure he wasn't exactly happy with. I could be wrong though but I'm pretty positive.
