X2..... My local walmart tire shop (yea I know) gave me a hard time when I tried going from 255's to 265's. They said it was not the "recommended" tire for mtg specs as stated above. So, I just went to dealership....

I am running 35" Duratracs (load range E). They are a great performing tire on and off road. Quiet, comfortable ride (by my standards), and very nice looking on 16" rims ...
