The 265/70-16s will fit but are an inch shorter in diameter. //2000CAYukon Figaros 07-15-2008, 11:48 AM F.Y.I I would never put a "P" (Passenger Car) rated tire on a 7000+# rig. If you do ANY towing and/or have it loaded with people, you are maxing out the weight rating on those tires. Load range "D" tires are what you are supposed to run for 1/2 ton (6 lug) and Load range "E" for 3/4 ton (8 lug). Those passanger tires will be spongy and less responsive due to maxing out the weight they were designed to withstand plus they will wear out FAST. Also, more than likely your current P265's are load range "C" and the 70 series could be load range "B". Please check. (Which you should steer WAY away from with your heavy rig). There are "70" series tires that are load rang "E" if that is the look you are going for, but never on a "P" rated tire. Also, your speedometer will be off, but you can have your ECM reprogrammed to make it accurate. Hope this helps.
