I love the tires, they've been great on the road, rain, snow, ice and fairly descent in mud for an all terrain. I'll be getting them again after these wear down.

Mine with 285/70/17 t-bars slightly cranked. No problems yet... Other than a dropped valve but I don't think that was a tire size change.

Thks. I have been wondering if I could run 285x70x17's w/o any problems. What are you running, Michelens?

I know a lot of people run them with no rubbing/truck issues. But I've been told a few times that running 285s on a 7" wide factory 17" wheel will cause the tires to wear faster on the inside of the tread. I sold my 17s and got some factory 16s to run them instead.
