Is anyone running 255/80/17 tires on a Dually
#136
Blue Dually, just want to make sure I will like them before spending that kind of $$$$ on tires that I am not sure of. Maybe I am just being too picky, but hell money's tight and times are hard.
Has anyone else bought a set yet?

Diesel Junkie, AH64ID just got a set and hasn't mounted them yet and he said un-mounted width on the tread is 7.5. How wide is the tread with them mounted? Is it the same or a little wider? My 265's are 8.25 wide on the tread. I was just hoping that the 255's would be 7.75 - 8 wide on the tread????

255/80/17 Bfg Km2
Just installed a set on my o4 last week,they look awesome and for as big as the treads are they are very quiet.They are not as tall as I was told,more like 32 1/2" but they do ride nice.

I hear mixed things on wear, but I would say its 80% good things.
The way i look at is I bought 5 for roughly the cost of 3 of the AT's I have on the truck now... So if I get the same mileage I am happy, as the cpm is the same for a much better tire.

Mike Fleming, Do you have any pics of them on yours?
AH64ID, I've heard the same mixed opions on wear too, but most say them love the tires and they perform good. None were this size or on a dually, all we can do is what and see, hope for the best!

Ernst223,I have pictures but I'm not to good on the computer.A buddy is supposed to come over and get me straight on posting pictures.As far as the tires go they must be hard to come-by,my guy said I got the last 6 in the country.

Mike Fleming, Sounds good, whenever you get it figured out on how to post pics please do. How wide is the tread width with them mounted? I am just curious if they are any wider mounted, than not???

I've got to get some tires ordered this week, all this snow is kicking my a$$. I am either going to order a set of these BF's or go back with the cooper stt's in 265. Any suggestions or help would be great!
