I am using the stock wheels that are being powder coated this week. I am going to choose tires this week. I am considering two ideas. I may stay with the stock 265 size but upgrade to a LT (light truck, the stock comes with P, passenger) with a very aggressive tread. Or I may go up to the 285 with a moderately aggressive tread. I have seen may photos with the 285s and they dont look too big at all. I am just nervous about the ride of the bigger tire and if they affect gas mileage and power / acceloration. I plan to do minimal offroading (at least until the truck is couple years old). Any opinion on the 285s? Do they affect mileage or power / acceloration? thanx again.
