New tires

Hey everybody. I just bought a set of Toyo Open Country MT's in 255/85R16 against much advice. But I thought I'd share the results. They fit with no problems! No spacers required. There's about a finger's width between the duals, and the tires don't scrub anywhere.

So if you have an F-350 dually, and you want wider/taller tires but don't want to run spacers, 255/85R16's work.

Here's a crappy pic. I just finished washing the truck in the rain, and it was almost dark.

No no no no. Buy Ford mirrors. Those knock offs will shake like no other while you drive down the road.

Thats a good lookin truck. But I agree with Zaairman, get some tow mirrors on there. Those mirrors just don't work with the rest of the beast.
