Like Slartibart mentioned, best to stay within the recommended widths from the tire manufacturer. Many things have been done regarding tire/wheel fitment and rubber is very forgiving, but when it's the main thing between you and the road I wouldn't get too crazy there. A pinched mount that's quite a bit over the manufacturer width range can be hazardous, especially at high speeds when cornering, sidewall roll is much more prevalent which can result in unpredictable handling or worse. A 295 on a 10" would be the most I'd run. FWIW a stretch mount (narrow tire on wide wheel) is typically safer within reason as it keeps the sidewall firm rather than the bulge that comes from a pinch mount.

thank you for the advice!
