You dont want the tires continusouly touching carrying a load, they rub building heat and cloud in some rare instances cause a blow out, i used to run 235/85/16's on my old dually they would touch a bit when i hit a bump in the road with a load on but other than that it was ok! My self i had the best luck on my dually with LT235/85/16E cooper discoverer st tires, they looked great, and i had 24k on them when i got rid of the truck and they still had about 6/32 of tread left on them. I also rotated them every 5k so that helps with getting good miles out of them!

Just my oppinion, but bfg at's wont last long on the rear of a dually, they are a soft tread, and the constant scrubing of the tires on the road when u turn will make real short life of them!!

Hope this helps,
Caleb
