Got a screw in one of my tires and since it was in the sidewall and I had the road hazards on the tires I went to get it replaced. Now these are 305 70r 16 E rated Nitto Terra grapplers on my F350.
Get here all is going well till the guy helping me says there is a problem we can no longer put that size tire on the Factory 7" wide rim. He said 265 is as big as they could go. Now I tell him this is the third set of these on these rims and we ain't changing and I am not driving around on 3 305's and 1 265. So the store manager came over and said lets see what we can do. He said new policy on tire sizes now on certain size rims. So he said since he can't put the tire on the rim he was going to give me 4 new 8.5" rims free and mount them all up all I had to pay for was the new road hazard certificate on the new tire. The rims are much better looking than the stocks. They are MB Motorsports. Of course he has to order them in and is going to mount the tire on the old rim till these get here. He said they concider it a safety issue and did not want to loose a long time customer. Thought that was more than fair.
