Picked up a set of factory 20's and a set of 275/55/20 pirelli scorpions just to see how 20's felt. Spent the whole day getting ****** around by tire shops. Finally found one that initially could do it, but then saw that the pirellis are a P tire and my truck has Lt tires, even though the p tires came off another dodge.

They tech tells me if I get a new set of sensors they can mount the tires and don't need to know what vehicle they are going on.

So... Where is a good place to buy sensors and is there anything I need to know about them?

Thanks,
Ryan

Factory 20's for the 1500 the 275/60 r20 wrangler sra's are p tires if you don't do heavy towing (7000 + regularly) they will work just fine.

I get that. But the tire place will not put them on my truck because my truck says Lt. in order to put these tires on those rims I need a set of sensors. That way the tire shop can put those tires on those rims without needing to know what vehicle they are going on.

Start your own thread in the lowered section to get your question answered. You shouldn't post questions that have nothing to do with the OP's thread

Find another tire shop. Let me guess, Firestone? I've run into this BS at Firestone centers before.
