They look like 235's to me.


Keep in mind, some rims have different offsets, from the factory. Witch can play eye tricks on duallies.

 

I am talking 2wd dually pickups, with the LEAST amount of offset.

Most of these trucks were farmers and contractors who OVERLOADED their trucks on a daily basis. None of them ever came back with a blown out tire. Just worn down to bald

 

i dunno what to tell ya Brad.good luck i guess?
id blow out a set of 235's if i put 'em on my truck im sure.

 

scroll down to see what size tires he was running.

What is your point? The size had NOTHING to do with the tread separation. The fact that the tire was9 years old tire DID

 

Some where aling the lines here, it got messed up. I run 235s now anf have for 15 years. I currently pull a 44' giiseneck trailer, and have never had tire problems.

I was just asking about 245s because 235s are becoming hard to find.

I dont believe .75" of extra tread on the ground is gonna get me stuck or blown tires from heat. All duallies need to male sure the dualls are unflated properly, whether u are running 215 235 or super singles........woudnt be dually in that case

 

Don't know why 235/85/16 would be hard to find. Those are very common and should be easy to locate.

 

Exactly my point, ANOTHER person with REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE. NOT internet BABBLE

I agree. 235s are a VERY common tire

 

Well it seems the tire shops here have to order the tires I want. They have 235s, but they are like nexen, kumho, I want goodyear, they have to order that. But it seems 245 are more common and cheaper. IDK.

 

Chevy are the only trucks that use a E rated 245

 

My utility body had 235/85's on it when I bought it. I assumed that was the right size same as my f250. I just bought 4 brand new tires for the back yesterday. I hope there right I'll have to take a picture tomorrow. There kind of close at the bulge. I was going to air them up a little I don't know what the tire guys put em at. They didn't seem that close with the old tires.

 

You should be running 80 PSI

 

I ran 75 outer 72 inner on the last set. With my daily tool and part load I'm only around 7500 no where close to my 10,500 rating. I'll have to see what they have them at I'm guessing around 60. These tires are no where near as close as the ones pictured earlier I'm taking it those arn't 235/85 or my rims are made for 235/85 and those arn't.

 

You should run the same pressure in all 4 rear tires.
I recommend running the MAX pressure for even tire ware and best weight capacity.

And you must have the LIGHTEST dual wheel inclosed utility body ever made @ 7500lbs

 

Running all 4 tires at the same pressure, always makes the inner ones wear out faster!

How do I know this? REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE!


The middle of the lanes are always abit higher than the sides. Witch puts more load on the inner tire.


I've always ran my outter rears on my motorhome at 75, and inners at 73. Not much of a difference, but on my last set, all 4 had perfect equal wear.

The original set in the back, that were on the camper when I bought it in 2000, all 4 were at 60psi (max psi in those), I kepted 'em like that since they were more than 50% gone, but when I did replace 'em, the inners ones had very noticeable more wear.
