Tire Size

[Labhunter]

I have an f250 (2000) with 315 75 16 on it. I want to size down to a size of tire that will not rub the springs when I turn. What is the largest tire size I can go with and get a full, no rub turn?

285/75/16

Thanks, that is what I was thinking, but wanted to make sure.

you might be able to squeeze 305x75x16's under it, but im not sure since its a s.d. series.

out of complete curiousity... what kind mileage do you get with the 35's? Does the mileage vary from stock? Because I wanna put 35's on my new 6spd but I dont wanna lose a lot of mileage if any.

These were on the truck when I bought it. Don't have a clue what the mileage diff. is. Sorry

[85_305]

what kinda mileage do you get with them right now? Are you 6spd or auto?

By the way, I am selling the 315's that I have on it now. Can't stand the rubbing any longer. I think I am selling at a good price if you are interested.
The tires are 2 Kumho Road Venture A/T with about 7000 miles on them and only a year old. $125.00 ea.
The other two are BFG Mud Terrains. These are a bit older with more tread used. Have about 1/3 to 1/2 tread left. $100.00 ea.
They would make good tires for someone who wants the big tires. I just don't want to lift my truck any, and want to have a truck that will turn shorter.

Truck is a 2000 f250 7.3 crew 4 x 4 auto trans. with 315/75/16 on it. I get about 20 on the road and 18 combined and about 16 in town give or take.

295/75/16 are the biggest, but it's a really odd ball size. The 285's are the standard.

When you go with the smaller sized tire, make sure to get the speedo recalibrated otherwise if it's set for 35's your speedo will be too fast...
