Tires
i have a 1998 3500 dually and cant seem to find the right tires for my truck. Im looking at a tire with an aggressive tread due to driving in farm fields and snow. any ideas?
i also wanted to go up a size but a tire dealer told me that when i put weight on the truck the sidewalls of the dualls will touch and wear faster???
thanks

What works well in fields is pretty different than what works well in the snow. In the snow you want a tire that has a good cold weather compound and good siping. In a field you want something with good lugs on it, like the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain.
For size, 235-85/R16 is the biggest you can go on a dually without spacers. I've seen duallies that had 255-85/R16s that used spacers, so that might be an option.

I have the BFG Mud Terrain 255/85R16's and I love the look of them. I have a 1/4 inch spacer, but I think I would be fine without it. I do not haul, but the duals appears to have plenty of room between them.
