Silverado 3500 DRW tire

[dennych1]

I am looking to replace my stock Michelin 235/80/17 a/t Ltx tires. I want something that can be used on the beach with heavy camper also any recommendations.

You can run spacers and put fatter tires on.
It might get real tight backing between your front camper jacks, and you may need to modify your swing-outs. But it can be done.

How many miles did you get from your Michelins? I am in the same boat looking for new tires for my f350 DRW and I air down for sand as well. Would love to find one that only goes to 65psi like the Nittos that I have on my f250. Makes life easier at the air pump station.

Fwiw, any stock(ish) size tire you find for a dually (skinny) will be an 80psi max tire or it likely won’t have load capacity commensurate with the capacity of a truck that big.
That said, you can put whatever pressure you wish that suits your needs and loads in an 80psi tire.

I've driven my dually on the Texas beaches with stock tires without incident. I think they were Bridgestone Duelers (was many years ago).

I got 65,000 miles on my stock Michelin 235/80/17 a/t LTX tires. I just replaced them with 5 new identical ones and used the spare for the 6th tire. I saved the best used tire for my spare.

I lived on Long Island as a kid, I don’t remember exactly how the sand is for driving.
But, I did recently drive my 4x4 dually on the beach onbthe Oregon Coast and was OK with Michelin Defender LTX tires.

Beach driving, stick with similar tread. The less void space the better.
