Those sizes aren't really all that different than what's already out there. Bleh!

When will they realize that us truck guys want to go fast too, and not on car sized tires!

I run 295/50/16 BFG's all the way around my truck I wonder what the M/T's 315/45/16 would look like on the back. I know it would be a good bit wider but do yall think there will be a big difference with the sidewall. If not I might try me a set of 295/50/16 for now..

I have to have a 18" or taller drag tire & wheel! I don't have the option like some of you going to the 16's. The Baer rear disc brake conversion kit will only allow for a minimum of a 18" wheel!

a 29" tall tire isn't too bad on a lowered truck. before nittos was the only place to get a tire nearly 29" tall but the mt's are way better so i am glad they are steping it up. someday someone will make a 16" x 30+" tall dr.
