The 285 is .5 taller and the same width anyhow. I don't know why they put tire sizes on the side wall if they aren't actualy that size. A 285 should be about 1" wider but per Hankooks specs they aren't. Same width just the 275 is best suited on a 8" wheel and the 285 an 8.5" wheel.

Can't tell you about dry traction (4.7 quadcab) but those did nicely cornering and in the rain with my dad's old dodge. I remember them being quiet and riding nicely compared to factory 275/55-20 goodyears

You can call BS all you want. I work for a tire dealer. I am not going make up **** about tires. I am not sure if you guys will have clearance to view the web site but I would assume you will.

Most can figure it out but TW is tread width.

I ran the toyo proxes ST II.. They were ok, however they did not last for ****... They wore even, and I never really did any burnouts in them mainly just putted around like a grandpa and they only lasted 20k.... These new hankooks ride 10x better.
