Just bought new lance 850 and currently run 265/75-16 tires on 2002 Dodge 2500 quad cab long bed 2wd. Camper is a little heavier than my 2005 lance lite 835.
Just wondering if anyone has run 285/75-16 on the 2wd dodge? I haven't weighted the camper yet but feels a bit heavier than previous camper. Just trying to have a safe cushion on my tires.
You didn't say what brand or load range your tires are. Do you have any reason to think that 285s can carry more weight than 265s? Are the 265s in question Load Range C, while the 285s are Load Range E?
On this page, you can find links to Tire Load/Inflation charts for pretty much every manufacturer:

You might be better off logging into a Ram forum for questions like this. Probably a LOT more people there who may have dones such tire swaps.
