I have been looking online and am unable to find a good picture of a GMT400 dually with 235/85 16. I currently have 245/75 16s. Trying to see what they look like. I don't want to go all the way up to 255/85 16s, I don't want to start considering regearing.
Truck isn't a daily, but is used for towing and off road chores, getting firewood, pulling work car out of snow.

I plan on BFGoodrich KO2. I have a set that replaced a brand new set of Coopers. And am more than pleased with them.

That's the look I was hoping for. I think the reference to low rider has been made several times when referring to duallys on stock size tires.

A bit far away for me. Otherwise I might be tempted.

Lots of pictures here, local friend who has this truck. It came with 235/85R16 Michelin LTX tires. Eventually he went to 255/85R16s.

My dually came stock with 225/75R16 tires and i went to 255/85R16 (it was a big jump). My truck has 4.10 gears and the RPM change was actually quite beneficial for me. Prior to this I was turning a ton of RPMs on the highway so the larger size helped a ton. I don't really feel like i lost power with it.
