I tried LT265/75-16 E with a 8" wide tread on a '90 2500 chevy with 6.5" OEM wheels pulling heavy GN trailers. The truck was a handful to keep on the road. So dumped them for the good old LT235/85-16 in the same tire type.
I had the same experience when I had 265's on the front of my old GM dually. It wandered on the road too much and didn't hold corners like it should.
I went back to stock size 235's and it steered and handled much better, as expected of a dually.
I think the rims were 6".
I'm sure my F350SRW would steer and handle better if I wasn't running 285's on 7" wheels up front. It does OK, but if it had 8" wheels up front, like it has in the rear, steering/handling would be better I bet.
