I found out that BFG has the all terrain in 255-70R16. I want the all terrain for my D2 but they don't have them in 255-65R16. So this tire will be slightly taller than stock but it fits does it? |

It fits better than the stock, and the speedo will be more accurate. The fit on the spare carrier is perfect as well. If/When you get a lift, they won't look too small either. |

Pete, I don't know if you have looked into price yet, but that size will be more expensive that other common sizes. I don't know what the fix is exept to get a lift. Try pricing 245/75. I don't know if they are odd size. |

Pete,
I have the BFG 255-70R16 All Terrains on my '01 D2. They fit just fine stock, gives you maybe 1/2 inch more of lift (at best). The spare is a little tight of a fit, but it works just fine. (as stated above)
I have added a *very mild* lift (getting milder as my MD springs are sagging a bit, lol). The tires look okay right now - I really don't think I have much more than 1 inch of extra lift suspension wise.
I will say this: When the time comes that I have the resources to put on a new HD bumper, along with HD springs and shocks (meaning a little more lift than what I currently have), I think I would want to get a bit larger tires at that time.
FWIW, hope this helps. Best wishes,
Kim |

I put the 255-70R16 BFG T/As on my '00 a few months ago and they have been excellent. I have the stock suspension and it is a perfect fit. The tires performed much better for me on loose dirt and small mud pits (haven't tried anything real deep yet) than the stock tires. In addition to being a functional improvement, I think they look great on the truck. |

Pete, the Scorpion A/T in 255/70-16 is on special at the Tire Rack for only $66 a piece. It's a bit less aggressive than the BFG A/T off-road, but gives much better handling and ride comfort on-road... |
