[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1645512, member: 21289"] The truck in question is a 1993 Ford F250 with the 7.3 IDI on the front axle.4.11:1 open differentials,auto trans. I have some 285s on it now.Only about 1" in OD than the standard LT235s which came on it.One thing I've liked was being able to inflate about 10psi lower on this size and still have the same weight carrying capacity.Should make for a more flexible ride. cfpinz has a point,though.Only sand we have is a little along the river. Worst we deal with is a a heavy clay type which is sticky and a dark color. I've heard it called "blue marl".Not something you want to get into. I've heard you want the narrowest tread you can get for snow.Always figured mud would be better with wider but maybe not. In regard to M/Ts,none seem to clean as well as they did when we had bias tires.Maybe we ask them to do more now.Pickups are used today in a lot of jobs they never saw when I grew up.Used a tractor to get there or walked and carried what you needed.
