Question Eagle GS-D3 285/17 on WS6 Wheels

I'm gonna be needing new tires soon and was wondering if Goodyear Eagle GS-D3 285/40/17 would mess up the speed-o, wear the rear-end or hit at full turn up front. Anyone have these in 285 all around? If so do you have any problems with them at all? Thanks in advance.

it wont mess up your speedom but i have the gs-d3 on mine except 275 and im sure that the 285s will rub up front cuz my 275s do......as far as the rear goes i dont think it would wear anything out but im not for sure

Really? I'm very surprised at that. Is it too much rubbing? Is it doing damage to the tire?

Yeah, are you lowered, are you on different rims (offset)
or anything? 'Cause these are also top of my list for my
next set of meats. I have never scrubbed a 275 though
even after 1" drop. Rear I have height adjustability.

let me clerify a little more my 275's only rub on the edge if turned sharp enough. not bad enough to hurt the tires or anything else........also front is lowered 1.5" which prolly doesnt help

I have stock suspension and mine are very close. The GS-D3's run very wide. I actually had to bend my rear fenders out a bit so they wouldn't stick out so far.
