HUH? Sidewall stress, noway. My stock sized LT235's are 9.5" wide and are on
the stock 15x6 rims. I am on my 3rd set of tires at 104,000 miles and have
never had any tire related problems or uneven wear, and my Dak is 4WD.
30x9.50's are only 1 inch taller than LT235's, so NO, there will not be any
problems, in MY opinion.
