the side sticker on the door frame says, "your tire is 295/R7522.5". and when i went from 11r22.5 to low profile 295s, steering improved. with 22.5 tires the truck was following the grade or arch of the road, pulling to one side when the shoulder was lower than the center of the highway. i thought it was mis-alignment at first, but after many all-wheel alignments nothing changed. steering became normal only i returned to the original tire size mentioned on the door frame sticker - 295/R7522.5.
hence my fears about switching to "tall rubber"...
by the way, i talked to the tire guy in the shop this morning and he said their flatbed division trucks that have 24.5 tires are ... "probably 10 years old". he said, "we went away from that and are using 11r22.5 tires on all newer trucks now." makes one wonder if using tall rubber is a good idea...
