I tried this last night and got it back, so if it shows on the list twice I
am sorry.

I'll make it easwy for ya, the 255 65's are 28.05" high and 10.04" wide,
the 235 75's are 28.88" high and 9.25" wide. I have had very good luck
with my BFG AT's (215/75R15), and about 400 pounda of weight over the rear
axle in my 88 6er. The thing that seems to help me the best is the weight,
I had car tirs before and they did nothing without the weight... Hope this
helps.

So, I'm headed to snow country and need to put some AT tires on my
truck. here is my question,
MY DAK came with 255 65 R15s on it. So far I haven;t found an AT tire
in this size, the closest I can get is 235 75s. Now, it;s been a while,
but isnt a 255 taller than a 235? I know 65 is wider than 75, but with
snow I really want a thinner tire yes? Just curious, my 2wd open diff
truck needs all the help it can get.
Sean, who needs an LSD on his truck as well.
