The tires are old I don't know how many miles are on them. Front tires are wearing funny. I am going to take to a front end shop have alignment checked along with all components. I will price new tires and shocks, both will have to be replaced. Any particular brand better than the other. Tires are 225 70 R 19.5 any reason not to go with a 245 70 R 19.5. Thanks for the responce and info.
I am running DynaTrac PD890 tires with an all-season tread. I only have about 10K miles on them and will have about 15K by mid July, so I can not give you a wear report yet. They do great handling my loads and work well in mud and snow. Sand use is fine if it is packed, but the loose sand or sand/ash mix I drove through at Moses Lake, WA was challenging.
Depending on your rim width and offset, the sidewalls of a 245 width tire may rub on themselves in a dual configuration when under load which would cause premature wear. You can put spacers between them to stop the rubbing, but in some states this not allowed due to the additional stress put on the lugs.
