I have a 2001 Durango and i need some new tires badly right now and i was thinking about buying these tires Click but i dont know if there the right size, right now i have goodyear rt/s P265/70R16 please help me, and by the way im new here so hello to everybody

 

wE HAVE A 2000 AND HAVE HAD GREAT LUCK WITH THE 31.5 X 15 STOCK SIZE ALL TERRAIN TIRES. gOOD HIGHWAY AND GOOD FOR MILD OFF ROAD. vERY GOOD IN SNOW AND MUD. Best of luck[8D]

 

alright cool so even tho it says 70R16's on the stock goodyears that doesnt mean that the tires are 16in then?

 

Your OEM tire size of 265-70R-16 sounds about right for a 16 inch OEM tire. I see from your link that their G051 series Yokohama tires has your OEM size. You can problaby get away with a slightly wider tire of 275-70R-16. A friend of mine went with a 275-70R-16 and it looks much nicer than the 265's. Stability on the road was firmer as well. Not as much shifting when you are driving on some rough surfaces. To let you understand more on what these numbers mean.

265 is the width of your tread from end to end. Using metrics, I think it is in mm? or cm? cannot remember.

70R is the radius height between your RIM and the surface of the tread. The smaller the number, the lower the profile of the tire to the rim.

16 is the diameter of your Rim/Tire.

 

ohhh so there the same OEM size but just a bit wider

 

I need new tires on my 01 SLT as well. I want tires that would be good for on and off road. What do you all suggest?

 

For on/off roading, BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's never failed me. Also these tires have very good tread life if you don't abuse them! Averaged 60k miles out of them. Quiet tire on pavement and has pretty good grip on light offroading.

 

The 265 is the cross section width, (from sidewall to sidewall). The 275 will be slightly taller than the 265.

 

I think you got it wrong on that. 275 will slightly be wider than 265, not taller. If it was slightly taller, you would go from 70R to 75R.

 

It will be wider and taller. Go to a tire manufacturer's website and there will be a specification area that will give information on all this stuff.
