...so the saga continues and comments re P rated and tire brands appreciated...today I went to the dodge dealer and test drove a truck almost like mine with the goodyear wranglers but with 265/70 by 17 and compared to my tire noise was down 15-20 percent but ride quality improved only 10-15%...got home and went on Amazon and ordered an air seat truck cushion and will try that first before switching out wheels/tires...
If you get a set of Rebel wheels, you can go up to a P285/70/17 and the ride should be a bit softer yet.
Plus you won't have to change anything so that your speedo reads correctly.
Also they are a good looking wheel
I had Mich. Defender LT285/70/17 on stock 17 x 7" wheels and the ride was decent, however the handling was not optimal when hitting a bump or the brakes hard during a sharp bend or turn. 7" wide wheel was just a bit too narrow for that big tire.
