M1031 Tire Choice

Nice looking tires. The one thing I don't miss from stock size is death wobble. Don't know if is tires or the 8 inch wide rims that did it, I have not had any handling or suspension quirks.
The old tires had one with a slipped belt and huge bubble.

Looks good.... and I'm sure you noticed the engine rpm's are a lil bit lower with the taller tires

Yeah cruising 45-50 rpms are definitely a little bit lower for sure.

I also run BFG KM2 255 85r16 on my 86 M1008. I run it 55mph...

I've had the same experience running BFG MT's 285/75/16.......very little rubbing.

285 75 16 will work. Normally it doesn't rub, but large load of wood and some off road maneuvering will sometimes barely touch lower fender. Am replacing my 3 leaf front springs with 4 leaf, between new and additional leaf should clear now!

85 series tires are available now, but may eventually go the same path as other oddball sizes!

I always recommend Goodyear duratracs!

I'm a cheap bastard.

I went with some nanking 887's I think they're called.. off road mud terrains.... and they were only ~130 a piece in 285/75/16...
