Thanks for your reply on this thread. I have a Ram 2500 and am considering the same tires. Do they rub on full-lock left or right? Thanks againI put some on my 2022 Ram Power Wagon using the stock 17X8 rims. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss E-rated. They balanced easily and run smooth gripping the wet roads nicely. I have about 2000 miles on them with no mud or snow yet. Living in the Tampa Florida area I probably will not see snow anytime soon
Mounted to the rim and aired up they measure about 34.6" Installed on the truck they measure about 34". I run them at 47 PSI-fronts and 50 PSI for the rears. This image compares the original 285/70-R17 duratracs that came with the truck.
No rubbing at all.

Edit: Oops, I did not read carefully enough... I see now this is about 255/85R17... My bad...
I love the 255/80R17 size, as well as the 16" version, 255/85R16. I had STMaxx's in this size on my TJ, and then put Mastercraft CXT's in these sizes on both at the next go-round. Jeep still running the CXT's, GMC wore them out and I replaced them with some budget Delinte CX-10's in 285/70R17 to get a mountain snowflake rating. I do not care for the 285's. Truck much less happy steering on pavement at low speeds, mileage seems a tad worse, ride not better, throws more mud on itself (I live on a dirt road)... I'll be watching for a "deal" on some other 3PMS tire in 255/80R17 and swapping them out when I find one.

if this is for me. I run them both at about 28-30psi on road and 14 or so psi off road. both handle great on and off and the pizza cutters are wearing really well like under 2/32nds in about 8000 miles. crazy thing is the MT's might be a smidge quieter at 70+mph. Both get exactly the same mpg which surprised me as I figured the Pizza cutters would do better. I am really impressed on snowy and icy roads with the AT's. I have had Toyo AT3 and Falken AT3W and these are impressive.

Are you running them on the Power Wagon?

I have these on my Tacoma and they've been a great tire. Quiet enough on the road and perform really well offroad.
