Hey, I am new here. Just got a 2008 Ram Megacab 3500, 6.7 cummins. I mainly use for towing, pull 5th wheel camper with boat, and flatbed trailer. Usually not over 10k-12K total. Looking for a bit bigger tire and wheel combo that will not be too tall or wide, good for towing, and not look like a teenage kid. It is red in color, wife says wheels need to go black, and I do agree. Thanks!

It is a SRW by the way. Has stock wheels with stock size Firestone Transforce HT on now. Look a bit under sized

I have a 2008 3500 Megacab with the 6.7 and 68RFE. I pull a 38.5ft Raptor Toy Hauler (dual axle) 16,500GVWR (fully loaded for MOAB.
I live in Western Colorado and there's clay everywhere, I used to run Nitto Ridge Grapplers, they suck in the mud / clay mess we have here. I run Cooper SST Pro 10-ply tires 285/80/17 and they work excellent in EVERYTHING I do with them.

I have Nitto Highway Grapplers in 285/80/17 and they run smooth towing a 37' 15K fiver. I do have the DRW and when I go to replace I will probably upsize on the width as I don't like the gap between the rears and at 73 I don't mind looking like a kid haha.
