Tires for a D250 1993
I tow heavy and looking for recommendations on long lasting 265/75/16 E tires with a load of at least 3300 pounds per tire, I weighed the truck with the load and I've got 6000 pounds on the rear axle alone..What you all run tire wise that lasts and can handle higher pounds...ALSO do the 265/75/16 fit the stock suspension. It's a flatbed so have plenty of room in back currently running 285/7516 in back and 245/75/16 in front..hoping to go to all one size if they fit
Just had the whole front end redone with spacers all new ball joints etc so it sits at 33.5 inches off the ground the to the fender.
Thanks for the help

Did find some tires that can handle to 3900 pounds in my size which I think it should be ok...were you able to run the 265 in front without any mods?

I have 245/70R19.5's on the truck in my sigline...They are 1.5" taller than the originals...With no suspension modifications, I have zero rubbing issues under all conditions...Same with my previous 2003 4WD 3500...I can't speak for your '93......Ben

I run 235's front and 285's on the rear of the D250. I always have a glut of 235's to burn off. 285's carry the weight I want. (Current ones are Kelly ATR; a goodyear off-brand.) I pack 2 spares for longer trips.
Another possibility is the 255/85R16. Toyo's M55 is E rated. Its almost as pizza-cutter as the 245/70/R19.5.

I've been doing the 245 front and the 285 backs but with all the stuff I carry in flatbed i'll like to go to 1 spare...I just had to replace the whole front end ball joints connecting rods etc etc ALL MOOGS..someone said that running 2 different sizes can cause the front to go bad..u ever have that issue? Personally I think it's the 345,000 miles on it but who knows!

I'd still go with two spares. Or a tire plug kit and compressor. You can get creative mounting the spares... top of the headache rack, roof basket, stake pocket mount, etc.
