Good advice Landscapeman the 265's seem not to hurt too bad.I have the 285's in a mud tire/MT.They did sting my mpg by about 1.5 on avg.Now that it's summer here I prob will get a set of all terrain 265's when I don't have to troll around a muddy construction site in summer.Now in winter the M/t's are a must,cause the equip can make it anywhere on tracks,but the knobs on the 285's will allow me to be at or above idling ingear and slowly muddin through,bringin fuel to a dozer or a operator to his machine fer the day..But yes this is real good advice,especially with fuel prices..
