advice needed!

I am running an 05 3500 cc srw ctd with a 6 speed and want to know if 34 in swamper LTB tires will hold up on such a heavy truck. Any input or advice will be appreciated.

x2

Bias-ply tires won't last long at all. I would guess you might get about 15k miles out of those LTBs.

My buddy got about 25k out of his TSL radials on his CTD.
