Setup: 265/75/R16 on factory 16x7 Cutter wheels
I will be ordering a set of Guard Dog M/T tires from TreadWrite. I was recommended to upgrade to 285/75/R16's by a few people on here, which I would love to do (and see a few have done so on stock wheels) However TreadWrite sent me this reply when inquiring about the size:
Dustin,
Thank you for contacting us. You are right, the rim width range for the 285/16 is 7.5-9 inches. It would not be a good fit for your 7 inch wheels. It would cause rapid, uneven wear of your tires and would not be covered by our warranty. The closest fit for your rims that we carry is the 265/75/16, which would be a little shorter that the 33" that you desire. I'm sorry we couldn't be more help to you. Please contact me again if you have any further questions.
So those of you out there running 285's on stock wheels, how is your tread wear/ride quality etc? The next available size is 265/75/R16 which stands at 32.2 compared to the 285's 33.2.
