I bought my 265x70x19.5 Michelan tires used at about 80% or better already mounted on Visions. They are 34.2" tall. I have them on my leveled 2002 F350. With the little 5.4 gasser motor and the 6 speed manual, I enjoy using granny gear to get going, since I still have 3.73 gears. Even fully loaded, weighing 10,500 to 11,500(coming back to the island after hitting home depot after our vacation to the mainland) the truck does just fine and gets 13 to 15 mpg! I know the auto tranny guys would have a tough time pulling the taller tires without a gear change, but with the ZF-6 it works well. My tires are also the load range G. Nice not to worry about exceeding tire capacity!
Good Luck on your choice!
