Same as 1jeep, what's the advantage? I'm running BFG KO2 and can get the same tire load rating for almost 1/2 the cost. Guessing the Michelins will wear longer but they'd sure suck during Oregon winters. My 2500 rides rough enough I can't imagine how rough those would ride. Heckuva deal though if you want them.

Not much but if you went to a 245/70/19.5 then you get about 5000lb per tire load rating.

Rest assured the 4klb rating on those G load Michelins is a better handling load rating than your bfgs. Plus that's about the smallest section width truck tire you can buy. Your LT tires need to be close to 300mm wide to get near that load rating with much softer sidewalls.
Yes they would suck in the winter with the hiway tread.

without starting trouble can I ask a serious question.

What real advantage would I gain putting something like that on my 2016 f350 dually? it has same GVWR as the f450 so I assume the puny 17" wheels are capable enough for my useage. But aside from the look and if I was carrying a serious load is there any advantage such as do they last much longer?

None because you have a dually and those are srw wheels......
Yes the tires last longer than LT -E tires and the rims are rated much higher than OE 16-20" light truck wheels, and aftermarket LT wheels for that fact.

Well good because you live in MA and these are for sale in WA.

Coming from someone who has zero experience with them - Mainly mileage - they should last a lot of miles. The problem is that most people probably don't put enough miles on their tow vehicles and the tires would likely rot before you got full use of the tread. If you tow a LOT on the highways, you would likely see the advantage. But they sure look cool on the right truck!

[1jeep]

yes, that would be my other concern, those look like racing slicks that wouldn't fair well in the winter snow.

Dang wish they were the right bolt pattern.
