My truck is sitting at the RV dealer serving as a truck camper dolly!

With the parts having been ordered to fix that, I think I need to go get the camper just to get the truck home so I can continue working on it.

I completed a research effort on those Nexens and I will be replacing them before leaving to go anywhere. I just purchased seven Toyo Open Country RT trail tires. I went up to 255/80R17. That will give me a slightly taller tire at 33.1" and will fit the stock wheels and wheel wells without modification. In my opinion, I do not like tall, big tire duallys and think something closer to stock looks best on those work-oriented trucks.

The Toyo is a great top-tier company and has the best reviews. An American-built tire will be reshoeing my dually.

Dave, that was a good link for sure.

I picked my tires

Toyo Open Country RT, in size 255/80 R17

It is super highly rated and built in the USA. It stands 33.1" tall which is almost 2" taller than the stock 235 Nexen stock tires. That will reduce my gear ratio a little which I want without making the truck sluggish.

After getting the warning about the Nexens. I asked around and got mixed reviews, but when I started looking on the truck camper forums there was no shortage of people with a dually carrying 4K in the bed who experienced belt separation. I am not going to take that chance so I have just ordered seven of the new Toyos.

Oddly, I found the lowest price at my local Walmart. I feel dirty going into that store, but, hey, they have great tire prices!
