Hey what tire sizes can be run on stock rims? (01 3500 dually) right now I have 235/85/16. I can't seem to keep tires on this thing, 20-25000 and time for new ones. I thought I might try a different size if possible. I have even considered going to 19.5 just to get more mileage out of the tires.

 

On my 2004.5 I ran 285/70/17s. They look like they will rub but they worked fine. I got awesome mileage out of them compared to stcok. I would only get 30,000kms out of the stockers and I sold the truck with 85,000 on this set...Toyo Open Country A/T!

 

On my 02 Dodge Dually I ran the OEM Goodyears until 40K, then put them on my hay trailer. I bought Michelin XPS tires to replace them. They are expensive, but well worth the $. I've now got 100K+ on the truck and the XPS's still have half the tread left. They are a full steel tire. Look on 1010 or Tirerack websites for tech information, then price around at your favorite tire dealer. I bought mine at Wally World back when they had good customer service. I also looked into 19.5 conversions, but that's some serious extra bucks.
Good luck~!~

 

I suspect Jazz has a single wheel truck though so your dually sizes aren't gonna work for him.

The 19.5 Ricksons, you can't beat these things, I wish I'd gone this route years ago and saved all kinds a money on replacin tires. Not to mention they ride better also.

 

You need your glasses old man... Just kiddin bud!

 

You Natzi, you added that to his post, that wasn't there when I read it.

 

did you happen to read his signature?

 

Normally, I would do this to you, but not tonight...

Thanks for the backup 2500!!

 

255/85/16's, great size and they come in BF Goodrich's......

 

You both remind me a lot of Tracy, must be a Texas thing.
