Hey all! I got my "73 reg cab Dually and I want some mud tires for it. Right now I'm runing 235/85-r16. It has a 4" lift kit on it. So I have plenty of clearance for bigger tires. Not real sure how the size of Dually tires work or if there is a super single type thing I can get. Want the equivalent to a 35" tire if possible. I can get new rims If needed. Any info you have will help! Thanks!
-
what ever you do you want the front and rear to be the same size so you can rotate them
-
It don't have to be that way. I mean if there is Dually mud tires that would be great but I think a super single type thing would be cool

Seems when I was doing all my research for the tallest “skinny” mud tire, I found a few people running the 255 85 16 on dually’s. I went with the BFG KO m/t, as it also seemed to be the tallest “actual” size comparing to other brands.
-
Is there any type of rim I could buy to fit a bigger tire on the back? Maybe deeper dish rims that can spread the tires a bit and make it fit like real close regular tires? I know it might be a long shot. But there is some room side to die to work with

if you do that you might be lucky and get 10-15k miles out of the tires. spending 1-2k$ is a little exspensive for tires that you will have to replace probably twice a year (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-forum/2c.gif) now that being said i do like the ideal of big mud tires in the read and smaller up front. i would go for a tire that wears good on the road so they last may not be aggressive as you want but it will last longer.

Yeah. I definately need more aggressive tread then what I have cause out where I live in the winter the roads don't get plowed fast and when it rains its a muddy mess and that's fun to play around in! Haha
