Re: Need Help - New Wheels/Tires on '87
You can fit 285/75/R16's stock on a 3/4 ton. This is how mine sat with them at stock height. It's equivalent to a 33x11.50. My dad just bought a set of load range E BFG AT's in this size, and it cost him about $1100. But they'll last 50K+ miles, and they're a great all-around tire. If you have the funds, I'd consider them. If you want more of a mud terrain tire, go with a Cooper STT. Basically a BFG MT made by a different company. They're much cheaper and they really dig. That's what I had on mine.
