Lets see those trucks!

Size small lol. Wheels are 17s.. the tire is a 235/85r17. I plan to go to that Mickey baja boss AT in a 255/85r17 which is about a 34" tire.
Cant go too big on tire or lift due to towing a 5er.
Gotcha.
I bought a dually and am getting it done next week. Going with 20" wheels, and the T/A K02 325/60s.
Did not like the K02’s on my truck. Wet performance sucked, wear sucked, and any mud they became useless.
Yep
Pretty cheap upgrade for that 302 that has both sound and some performance gains as well.
I like how they look. For 5k miles they'll be fine haha
Almost went with semi tires.

I’m a fan of Nitto Ridge Grapplers myself.

The downside of duallys is when you need to rotate the tires.
Move on, nothing to see here.

And they hold and throw rocks like a MF’er. Worse than any other tire I’ve ever had!
Should reconsider going 20s. I say 18s with more rubber.
Funny you say that, was really thinking about giving those a go next...
I wasn’t a fan of them, myself. Traction in dry/wet seemed lackluster. They also wore like shit.
I’ve got them on my 250 now and they are fine, just gotta keep up with rotations.
Best ever we’re my AT2’s. I put 60k mikes on them, then sold them for $500 with a little under half tread. Probably what I’ll go back with next time.
I have these right now... decent dry traction, great in mud, ride stiff, have worn like metal, tough as nails, but are terrible in the wet. I actually have a screw that tried to make its way into the tire and only made it about 0.5” before it got bent to shit. Lol
So far I’m really liking the KM3’s I have now. Wet/mud traction is great, don’t know about wear yet since I have less than 5k miles on them. They are definitely louder than the K02’s but not annoyingly loud.
Did you figure out if you can run a 255/85r17 without a rear spacer?
Thanks for mentioning the Baja Boss AT's! Somehow I missed M/T had a new tire out.
On paper they look perfect: 18.5/32's of tread, snow rated, deeper side biters for more aggressive look, asymmetrical tread pattern for reduced noise, 50K tread wear warranty...
Curious to see some real world feedback
Exactly. They might be the perfect tire for 17" DRW guys.
With a 255, you may not need a spacer. Then again, i run my rears at about 45 psi to get full tread contact so i'll have to see how that plays out.
The 255 is about 3/4" wider than a 235 but there is over an inch space between my rears now.
I think worse case, you could install a .25" spacer keeping the factory lugs and call it a day.
IMO wide tires on dually's look like shit so the 255 should be a great option and with the 85 ratio, it should be tall enough to fill up that gap.
That’s true. I forgot the AT2’s sucked on wet roads. My trucks ass end came around @ 80 on hwy 20 once and I about shit myself lol.
My AMP's suck on wet roads...dangerously suck
Best truck tire I've owned so far.
I had the Mud grapplers on my Jeep and even with care and daily use, the dry rot and chunks of tread broke off them.
I switch to KM2 and KM3 with the same issues with the tread breaking apart (but no dry rot).
Now all I use are Mickey Thompsons MTZ or ATZ.
