I noticed in a previous post that you said you were running 31x12.5 on 15x10 rims. I was going to check into the same combo. What type of tires/wheels are you running? Do you have any lift? How much do the tires stick out of the wheelwells? Sorry for all the questions. I'm not opposed to a little trimming. I currently run 31x11.5 Swamper LTBs on the stock 16x8s. Thanks, Jim

my trucks a 2wd with 3 inch suspension lift. I run 31-12.50 x-terrains which according to procomps site are like 30.4 12.70 don't know if its a typo or what. I did trim but every one tells me you can't even tell. I also get a little scrubage backing up with the wheels turned but it doesn't bother me.
on a 4x4 you should be fine with a little torsion bar cranking and some trimming. they stick about 1.5 2 inches past the fender flares.
let me know if you need any other info.
how do you like the ltb's? are they a radial? do they ride rough I don't mind hearing my tires but I don't want to be bounceing down the road though. I don't mind if youcan feel a little vibration in a parking lot but don't want to bounce around at 50mph.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the long delay, in my response, but I've been working a lot lately. I love the LTB's. They are quite loud at around 30 and 55 mph. They quiet down around 60 though. I've had them in the mud and twice in about 8" of snow. Traction is incredible, even in 2wd. My size 31x11.5x16, with the exception of vibration, rides pretty much the same as stock. They are bias plys but don't bounce at all. Trust me every one around knows you're coming with the noise these tires make. I can no longer hear my Flowmaster going down the road. Everyone who's seen them on the truck gives compliments and they are by far the best looking tires I've seen on a Dak. The only downfall is mileage. It looks like they're only going to last about 20,000 miles. I plan on running the LTBs in the winter and getting a set of BFG MTs for this summer. Jim
