| I just love the look of those duratracs. I have a 2002 Silverado 3500 4x4 dually. I currently have firestone transforce HT 215 85 R16's on right now. They've done alright. I just want a beefier looking tire without having to increase my rim size. Would these tires work for general driving and towing? My dually could get stuck in 4 low on a banana peel I swear. I've been nearly stuck on wet grass when pulling my horse trailer...even with 4wd. I have not seen any reviews as to how these do for highway travel towing a big trailer. I don't want to make an expensive mistake. I do travel gravel roads and such when I go camping with my horses. I don't want to be stuck, but I'm doing 65-70 down the interstate to get to those remote places. Do you think this tire would meet my needs? I've read about weak sidewalls. I'm not rock climbing, but I don't want my duals rubbing together either. Opinions? | |

| Why would you think the duals wold rub together? The only way that would happen is if you went with a MUCH larger tire then you would need a spacer between the duals.
You could go up to a 235x85R16. This would be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wider and about 1 inch taller. The only thing this will effect on your truck is the speed o will be off just a little. If you are looking for a little wider tire, you can go with a 245x75R16, this will be about the same height as your stock tire but 1/2 to 1 inch wider which will still clear your duals. | |
