It does not indicate that there will be any rubbing, but is this true at full articulation? How much taller are these tires than the stock 255/65 GYs? (Ugh). Just drove in the snow for the first time on the badyears and Holy Crap! I'm looking at wither the Dueler Revo ATs or the BFG T/A KO in 255/70 16. Any thoughts on which is better for on-road driving w/ occasional off-road. Thanks in advance, Chris Kiely 2001 D2   Steve Sherman (Ssherman) Member Username: Ssherman Post Number: 118 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 02, 2003 - 04:59 pm:    Chris, Going by the math, the 255/65-16's are 29.06" tall and the 255/70-16's are 30.06" tall, but I can't tell you if they would rub or not. Hope this helps. Steve   Ted Moyer (Tedmoyer) New Member Username: Tedmoyer Post Number: 22 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 01:44 pm:    I have the 255/70's on my truck. They do not rub at all.   Ted Moyer (Tedmoyer) New Member Username: Tedmoyer Post Number: 23 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 01:53 pm:    BFG's. For sure. Good in snow. Best Sidewall construction. http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgapp/experts/articles/10102003pickuptruck.jsp
