need help in choosing new tires.

[Oscurida]

Sup all! i have to get new tires and i have the clad rims, think they are 20'". what sizes would i be able to put on these clads? any pics would help also.

Is it lifted ? Leveled?

 

[Oscurida]

leveled. actually the back is a tad higher up

 

[CheechDogg.0n37s]

Check out the Nitto Ridge Grapplers .. you can get up to a 35" if it's leveled but definately 33x12.50r20s ... great tires and I tell everyone to get these lol ...

I just ordered Nitto Ridge Grapplers for my 13 2500 with 2 inch level. 35x12.50 20. I also am getting some aftermarket wheels. Fuel Hardline 20x9 with +20mm offset. Should be here Wednesday. That being said I am replacing a set of Nitto G2 Terra Grapplers (35x12.50 17 on the stock laramie wheels which are 17x9) which I was REALLY happy with. I have 45,000 miles on them and they easily have a other 10 to 20k left in them. It was a tough call to get the ridge grapplers over the terra grappler as I was so pleased with them. The reviews are so mixed on the Ridge Grapplers. I've seen some people say they only got 10k miles on them which I find extremely hard to believe after my experience with the terra grapplers. If you compare the terra and ridge side by side on the nitto page they actually rate the Ridge as quieter and as long tread life so I'm gonna give em a shot. I'll post up pics of the new setup later in the week.

There are so many different opinions on tires and the opinions on the same tire can very from suck to best ever. I had the ridge grapplers... loved them at first but by 10,000 miles I was ready to move on! I currently have the BFG KO2 and in MHO they are hands down better than the Ridge Grapplers even when I like the Grappler. So far I’d recommend the BFG KO2. Blah blah blah... look at reviews on the tire sites ... tire buyer... tire rack... I also stopped people in person when I was out and about... and the KO2 was the only tire I got no bad responses about in person questioning. At the end of the day it’s what tire works for you and makes you happy.

What is the look you’re going for? Stuffed tire, aggressive treads, good handling etc. how close are you to the Staten Island zoo. (I’ll be able to tell what kind of roads you’re driving on)

That's a nice looking truck !

 

[huntergreen]

I have been happy with my Cooper AT3 4S. Do well in all weather conditions. I did loose approx 2 mpg vs the stock goodyears.

 

[ram1500rsm]

I'll put any 35 that will fit the witdth of the rim. Then you have to worry about HT, AT or MT and anything in between thread. Super easy

Thank you!!

What size do you have. I have 20 inch rims and I gave not leveled, it is stock I was on the edge to get KO2. Is there road noise

Mine are 325/60 R20, which is 35.4" tall and 12.8" wide. I'm lifted 6 inches, you would not be able to fit this size on your truck without lifting it. You can use the tire size calculator to help determine what would be the right size for you. The KO2's are quiet and smooth. Cruising at highway speed I don't hear them and I don't feel like I'm riding on knobby tires, just smooth. Besides just going by reviews I talked to several people around town that I saw running the KO2's and everyone had nothing but good things to say about them. Hopefully the link to the tire calculator works, but if not just type in tire calculator and it should take you right to it. I like the KO2's and would recommend them.

Good luck deciding on your tires!

I currently have on cooper discoverer ht plus 275/60R20 and basically 2-3 are just about bare on the threads. I have had these on for 5 years if not close to it. I did like them at first but I noticed when its cold outside I can really feel everything. I was going to dump some money on wheels and tires but I really need to get headers like yesterday. I have a brand new borla catback sys on that i got from Moes but I have more than 2 holes in my headers at the moment. so I'm going to dump money in performance before looks. and being I'm going to decide on headers (most likely ARH's) I'm also going to upgrade my TB from 85 to 87 which I also got from Moes. and then follow that by getting a tuner, which I don't know on which one yet. so I'm thinking of just getting a couple of the same tires that I currently have on just to get me a year by, which I can get my from amazon for $150 each.

Stick with the Coopers or the Sumitomo HTR Sport H/P they are in the same category and price point. If your truck is 4x4 please do all 4 tires

Yeah definitely am.

 

[Oscurida]

Thanks all for advice and etc. Going to post a new thread on headers to help decide on which ones. See you there!

 

[Noneck]

Headers? Easy, none! For a stock truck the cost and aggravation aren't with it.
