I have a 2011 Dodge 1500 and a 2011 Dodge 3500.... The tires that are on the 1500 are P275/60R17 and the tires on the cummins are LT265/70R17...im buying new all terrian tires for both in the spring but right now i need snow tires. I cant afford snow tires for both and would rather them on the 1500 for its fully loaded with everthing in it for road trips which im planning up north. But i am wondering if i can some how get a tire that will fit.both trucks (different rims of course) and save money then i can just swap till spring?.

Any suggestions? I.need help with this one please.

Yea you could run the heavy ply on both but you don't wanna run the P's on your 1 ton.

I agree with tiremann9669. Go with the LT(light truck) and with the 70 series. It's a thinner tire, but it will cut through snow better. The P (passenger) tire will not handle well on your 1 ton.

70 is NOT the width it's the aspect ratio 265 is the cross section width in mm's
