When I purchased my Suburban it came with 275/65/16 tires on it (Pirelli Scorpions - great in the summer rotten in the snow!). One of the tires is to the wear bars (got the alignment fixed shortly after I purchased it - during the engine swap), and the others are getting there. With this size tire I have plenty of fender room, and I realize the 65 sidewall is shorter, but what is the experience with going to a 285/75/16 as I am looking for a good load rating and good all season (in Maine that is Mud season and Winter ie Snow season, oh yes and the little bit of summer is Road fixing season so off road driving on the roads especially the back roads I drive every day) and most of what I have seen are available in the 285 or 245 in the better load ratings and I don't want to go that small, some of the local places can special order the 265s but that won't work well if I need a replacement down the road. BTW my suspension is stock.
