I looked and looked and couldn't find pictures of 295\70-17 Toyo OC MT on factory wheels with factory suspension ... so after getting them on, I figured I'd help out those looking ...

They are awesome ... quieter than BFG MT I have had in the past. These measure 33.5" tall and right at 12" wide. And they carry a whopping 3970# load rating ... 10-ply, etc.

nice pictures thanks I have been thinking about those as well... could you get a little closer picture maybe just the front quarter panel? THANKS!

go to the sunny side of the truck and take a pic it would be easier to see the tires.

mikegronholz

I'll get some more ... They aren't even close to rubbing. I max'd the suspension out on the rocks you can see in the back ground ... it is my own little rock climbing area

I got the same setup on my 06 2500. The only downside is that it has developed a pull to the right since I put them on. I've had both Les Schwab and the dealer check the alignment and it still wants to pull to the right. I'm almost thinking that these tires just follow the road more than others. Pretty annoying though.

mikegronholz

What it is is the design of the front end. The wider tires augment the natural tendency to pull. Good news is dodge has acknoledged this and will repair it (as long as you haven't lifted the truck). I have another post rolling around about the pull to the right fix. Don't live with it, keep pushing. I am at the 1.5* step. Going in tomorrow. If you are lifted, you will have to pay for it.

i have the same tires on slightly wider than stock wheels and love them, i have no pulling problems. maybe it is side wall flex.

mikegronholz

the pull to the right is a known issue. Dodge has acknoledged it. Problem is, it does no affect all trucks. You can put the same tires on 2 different truck with the same wheels and they may pull, they may not. My truck was actually pretty bad before the tires. I had the factory BFG 265s and it pulled. I had 2 other CTDs and one pulled with 265s, one didn't. and my CTD megacab dually didnt pull with super skinny wheels and 285s ... luck of the draw. Although, offset wheels will help the pull go away.

mike, i have an identical truck to yours, without the roof lights. did you add them after you bought it? check my truck out in my profile.

mikegronholz

almost exactly Mine is a 3500 ... and roof markers were factory installed.

Well mikegronholz,

You cost me $1250.00 bucks today. I liked the look of your truck so much I had to get me a set today. They look great; just have to get use to the ride. The ride is much stiffer than with my stock 265's. They fit the bill for me and what I wanted. Just a little bigger but still practical. Now I need to do something with the suspension.

Glad you are happy. They look and fit just right huh ? Even with a 2" spacer, I think they would be perfect. They are only 1" shorter than 315's.

The stiffness does take some getting used to ... try air pressure changes. I've had mine as low as 45\35 F\R just to see what it did. Real smooshy. I ended up at 75\60 F\R and seems to be just right for me. I get 99.5% tread contact in the rear. i do love the tires though

I like em, baby needs a new pair of shoes. Whats the 1.5 offset ball joint?

mikegronholz

it is an offset ball joint for correcting the pull to the right some trucks have. They make them in .5*, 1.0* adn 1.5*. The only one worth anything is the 1.5*.

overcomer401965

Ill be replacin mine here pretty quick anyway, i dont usually give stuff a chance to fail, u know fix it before it breaks kinda thing on these trucks anymore.
