Mayf, go to www.tirerack.com and you can compare virtually all tires. I run
75s on both of my Dodges and like them fine. But by all means, go Michelin!
They wear better, they ride better, and they steer better.

Well, the general consensus is Michelins. One thing I don't understand
though is the sizes. My truck rides on tires from the factory and they are
LT265/75 R16 and most say to use 235/85 sizes. Why is that? 235 is narrower
and with more siewall (more rolling resistance, less economy). I surfed the
Bridgestone/Firestone site and the tires originally installed do not seen to
be available any more and the 265 size is hard tolocate. My 265's were also
load range E and max pressure of 75 psig so with a wider tire could carry
more. Right now, one is flat so not carrying anything. Are anyof the
Michelins 265s? I'll look...
mayf and thanks for the help, ya'll
