I am getting ready to replace my tires on my 2K VX and was thinking of going with the 285/60-18 Nittos that some people have tried. I was just wondering what drawbacks a wider tire would have vs. a narrower tire - say a 265/75-16. Both are about the same height so the width would be the real issue.

Since I use my truck a lot to go to the snow, would the narrow tire be better? It seems that snow tires are always narrow. Pros and cons of each? I know that I would also have to factor in the cost of new rims if I go to 16's.

Thanks in advance.
