I really like the dura grapplers. 235/80/17's are what I run. No pics, but pick up any truck magazine and I'm shure theres an ad if they aren't on the back cover. I'm not shure they live up to all the hype but they wear the best of any tire I've run so far.

the biggiest you can go on no spacers are 265 70 17 and nearly ever tire company makes that size in a e load range got the bfg a/t on mine in that size looks alot better

Ram Rod Do you have any pics. of your tires on your truck? I need some new tires as well and was thinking about that size. Also how much taller are your new tires over stock?

I'm running 315/70/17's on my mega cab dually. 2.5" spacers in the back and everythings good to go.

I had 265/70/17's on my last dually and i put a half inch of space between them just to be on the safe side. I also have a good friend that runs 285's on his with a half inch of space and they don't rub and he pulls some pretty heavy loads.

Heres 265's with 1/4" spacers.I tow heavy and have never had an issue.They are about a 1/2" shorter than the stock 235's.I'm going with 285's next just to fill up the fender well a little better.

They are Cooper st's.The stt is the m/t.I love them.Got right at 25k on them with a little under half tread remaining.They might go 45k if I stay on top of rotating them.They hum a little but you can't hear it in the cab over the exhaust.The only reason I know they hum is my friend has them on a F250 gasser.
