    Am I missing something or is
    285/75r24.5 and 11r24.5 the same size tire?
    The 285 is just considered a “low pro” tire? Truck has 11r24.5 on it now, called a tire shop to get some pricing and he said he can get me a better deal on “low pro” 24.5s.

    Anyone have experience?

    They use the same rim but like said above the low pro will be a little shorter.

    Slow you down about 6 MPH if you put them on the drives. Should them all at the same time.
