Too late,


already on the 6.5 'pizza cutters'.

I did some searching and found many have used them on the stock wheels (Gee M too).

Anyone have real world experience on best tire pressure to run (E rated).

Seldom loaded or pulling.

Thanks

Am running 285/75-16 Michlen ATX E rated on my 01 2500 at 80psi all around. Bed is rarely loaded-most use is towing a 20' enclosed with a 3800lb car. No issues. Very pricey tires, but they have an excellent service life.

I had that size on my 99. Firestones. 65psi minimum. Good tread life and were decent in the winter.

Thanks!

I did notice they weigh alot more than the 265 70s that were on it last.

Shocks are shot fo' sure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(16+ years old)

I have a set of Bilstein 5100s I'll be putting on as soon as I hit the chassis with magnet paint.

I got the KO2s (since I work at a BFG plant). They are surprisingly quiet and well mannered for somewhat aggressive tires.

BFG is owned by Michelin. So i could have got a decent discount on either (Uniroyal too)
