To me wider looks aesthetically better. But I also agree that I’ve always known wider tires create higher risks of hydroplaning and “surfing” affect on soft slushy snow.
I think 33 or 34 is the sweet spot for our trucks. Anything bigger and it’s more of a specialty truck specific for trails or rock crawling. With 35”+ you suffer a lot on mpg and turn radius along with ride quality for everyday use.
To be perfectly honest, I have 4,000 miles on my truck since March of this year. I installed 285/70/17 tires on a zero offset aftermarket wheels in April or June and as of today I do feel the steering pulling to the right. However I thought it was just the size of the tires and my driving on...
Could it be possible that your alignment went off due to off-roading? Maybe your tire hit a big hole or a rock to throw the alignment off? I’m curious because all my other “non off road cars and SUVs alignment are true after break in mileage is achieved…

but… you will suffer with turn radius, mpg significantly and ride quality. If you’re able to stomach that then you’re golden.
If the truck is a recreational...
