Thanks everyone,

I drove Jeep Wagoneers in the 70's with all season tires and they did fine. I never had any trouble with a stock 4x4 with stock tires until GM decided to switch to the 245 (bologna skins) tires. My Z-71 got stuck as soon as I hit the beach. I never had any trouble with 265's. Then I got a Duramax and it would get stuck every 50 feet. The trouble was 245 tires. GM told me that they would void the warranty if I put anything other than 245's on the Duramax. So I traded for a Tundra. The 275X65's look like a tank track along side the 245's. I don't care how much air you let out of the tires on that duramax it got stuck. I've been off roading for 40 years and never got stuck until the 245 tires. I'll let you know how the Tundra does just as soon as I can get to Ocracoke Island, North Carolina.

Thanks again.
