Default Whose got 285s?

It's time for tires and Im thinking about going with 285 70 17s.. Anybody have pics with their 285s? Happy with them? Trying to decide on 285s or a different size I don't know if 285s will be too small or not

Lol I got them on my 05 I find them too small with my leveling kit, but with my rims I can't go up to 35's I could maybe clear at the most 305-70-17's

I plan on lifting my truck with 35s but a buddy of mine gave me a 285 70 17 trail grappler so I'll probably just buy 3 more and ride them till I'm ready to lift.. I guess it's better than the tiny 265s lol

Yeah, I mean it's 32.7 so it's a 33" tire, it's big tires

I have BFG A/Ts in that size. I think it's the best compromise between size without having to be too concerned with gearing. Plus, they look way better than the stock Michelins.

I see that you already made up your mind but I figured I'd throw my two cents in. I like the way mine fill out the wheel wells. I'm actually thinking of getting 33-12.50x17's in the near future.
