Picture proof that a 35" tire fits the Superduties OEM spare spot.

'nother reason the 10.5 width seemed like a better idea than a matching 12.5, more ground clearance.

That's another reason I like to run the 285/75R18, you can fit them in factory spare location. Most measure 34.5-34.8" tall x 11.2" wide so the height of most 35's but hits the in between of a 12.5 and skinny 10.5. The draw back to that size is it's not real popular so not all brands make it.

Stinkin holiday snow plows.

Had perfect snow for testing, 10 minutes ago. Already ruined. Will keep an eye open for slick roads.

Light crunchy snow. Dirt and gravel roads will be too grippy still.

Boring. Too easy.

Finally, some snow wheeling.

So far, these tires work fine. As you can see, they do pack up properly in fresh crunchy snow. And they do fling clear at speed.

My trucks completely empty today. So 2wd is meh, 4wd is awesome. I have no worries. Perfectly stable and reasonable.

Obviously the extra size provides more grip, until it doesn't. I'll air down to 35/30 for local trips.

Initially very quiet. For an aggressive tire. As they age they get a hum like other tires. I run 315s at 28psi. I also rotate them all the time. They have been great for my purposes. I’m in the mountains of eastern az. It’s very rocky and also icy in the winter. They do well in the snow.
