    Funny you should ask. I was hauling wood for a bud of mine and got alittle sideways in a culvert. Could not get any bite at all. Then I say, self, why not air down the tires. They were inflated to 65 pounds for moving my fiver around the other day. So I dropped them to 50 in the front and 45 in the rear. WOW what a difference. Crawled right out as if nothing had happened. I ran them that way the rest of the day and not a lick of trouble... My wife says they are loud on the road, but you wouldn't know it by me. I certainly can't hear them while driving.

    ive only aired down one tiem and by the time i did it it was way too late:doah: river sand bars are no no's. specialy in a stock size truck with 285's lol besisdes that i really dont like the squishy ride it gives ya theese meats i have now with 65 psi is about all i can handle or im just not used to it yet, its really not that bad just different fromt the smaller higher pressure tires. have you hauled trailers with yours much, im wondering if i should get soem air shocks or air bags for hauling.....welll looks liek a great day to go muddin here, not lookin forward to washing the damn thing though lol

    The only trailers I haul, are my 16 ft landscape trailer (don't know its back there)
    and the 29 ft fifth wheel that my familly and I use for vacations and monthly local trips. the Hankooks are E-rated so I'm not too concerned on that front. However, I like having the aggressive tires, due to the condition of some of the access roads I've encountered on camping trips.
    Also, it helps when going into the sandy areas in Cape May and some other NJ shore points we visit on weekend trips.

    ya theese tires are rated for 600 or so lbs more than teh michelins that were on before so i guess i shouldnt be too worried....also i like the aggressive tread as well obviously lol job sites and farm roads around here get pretty sloppy not to mention the river bottoms...... you shouldnt have to put a truck in 4wd to get out of soem wet grass, if a truck is a 4x4 then it should at least coem from the factory with the all terrains on it not the street michelins save those for the 2wd's imo....no offroading today cold and snowing i dont want a bunch of frozen **** under my truck oh well always next week suppose to get close to 50 so ill hit it then.

    Glad you like the Hankooks! I just ordered a set of 315/75-16's for my 96 F-350. I tow a lot and I hear they wear really well. Sorry I don't have any pics of my dodge on my work computer or I would have shared them.
