I Need New tires

[Jwells]

Hi there everybody, I have 265 70 17 on my 2011 ram 1500 and they apparently like to pick up screws, I have 2 tires with plugs right now, I'm buying new tires and I was wondering if anybody could tell me if 285 70 17s would fit on a stock truck no lift or leveling, just worried about the rubbing on turns. Thank you

Depends on the brand some have 33 inch diameter others may not. However I don't think they will rub mine are 275 60 20 and don't but I'm leveled

I've got a set of 17 Chrome Clads with really decent tires available. Not sure how far you are from Jackson, NJ... lol

285/70r17 should fit no problem. However, going to a 285 will result in a 10ply tire. It's very tough to find a 285 6ply. This isn't a bad thing though, a 10ply will prevent many of the punctures you've already experienced. But, they will be a lil heavier, and winter grip will suffer slightly. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Finding a 285/70/17 in a P rated tire isn't hard. There are actually quite a few. But, I'd rather have the heavier tire anyway since, for me at least, they are less prone to punctures.
