So I've got 15x8 aluminum wheels on my truck, with 33x12.5 tires. Should I be running such a wide tire on 8" wide wheels? Does it matter?
Can you give me a good reason to get 10" wide tires? Wider tires = better on snow.get 10' wide tires
Yeah I actually do get strange treadwear... If I remember correctly-- my old tires were wearing more in the center. My brother noticed it one day after I had driven through some dirt coming up the driveway, and the pattern of dirt was concentrated only on the center of the tires and not on the edges. We asked Les Schwab about it (the place where the tires came from) and he said it was normal... I knew it was BS but what was I gonna do... buy new tires?
Does it snow much out there? The width of a tire and it's ability to "go through" something can be debated forever just like an e-fan. I've found that driving in snow on the street is easier with a narrow tire. Deep snow drifts when off road is better with the tallest, widest tire you can get.Wider tires = better on snow.

Can you get a pic showing the profile of your tread? Like turn the tires and take a straight-on show to shown the crown of the tire.
A 35/10.50R-15 SSR would look cool on your truck.
But that'll hurt my gas mileage wont it?You acn adjust the air pressure slightly to change the wear pattern. If it is wearing more in the center, try going a couple of pounds lower.
As far as safety is concerned, it won't hurt anything.Should I be running such a wide tire on 8" wide wheels? Does it matter?
I ain't picking up 'cheap steelies' for THIS truck... No sir. I've got polished aluminum rims right now... You crazy?If I were you, I'd just go pick up some cheap steelies in the 9.75-10" range. Knowing how much you like to do things right, I wouldn't say wheels/tires is something you'd wanna cut corners on. The way you're riding right now increases chances for sidewall blowouts and enhances the chances of a tire coming off the rim while wheeling.

Yeah I've thought about having 2 sets of tires/wheels... But theres two problems with that...HAHAHAHA...I figured as much. I just figured if you were in a pinch and wanted to pick something up. I know around here you can pick up a set of 4 for under $50...maybe have those be your wheeling wheels...so you don't trash the good ones...that's what I try to do. But I'm with you...gimme Alcoas any day of the week.
