I like my bfgs. There not a mud tire but good on any other terrain. If you dont use your truck in a lot of mud they would be a good choice and they wear good I have 10000km and the nubs are still on them there also great in snow and ice

Anything that equals 33x12.50 or less. Id imagine no problems with 285s.

Are you sure that you dont have 275/65/18s on there thats what I have and I cant find a 265/75/18

If so the goodyears that I have on mine (stock) are 32.1" tall x 11" wide
the Trail grapplers 285/70/18 dim 33.62" x 11.1"

I dont think would be a problem
