Congrats on realizing the Rams look ridiculous w/o taller tires, especially the 4 x 4's. When you figure your mileage, remember if your speedo is underreading 5%, so is your mileage computation so you are doing a little better than you figured initially? To learn a lot about tires including diameters and a lot more including survey and test results, go to www.tirerack.com and plug in a tire size and then click on specs and scroll around and you will see the diameters and more of a lot of sizes including the one you are considering. Then remember if your stock tire is 28" and you move to a 31" when your speedo says 28 or 56 you are really doing 31 or 62. Easy to figure and not worth correcting the speedo for. This also stretches your warranty period out because if your speedo underreads by 5% you will get 5% more miles on the truck before your warranty mileage is reached. Fun, huh? Something else about going to a bigger and wider tire that not many people think about until they make a right turn and their right rear wheel gets scratched by hitting a curb........ pushing the wheel up and sticking the tires out farther protect the wheels from damage. I am surprised with the big wheelwell openings on the Ram that 285's could rub. A guy with a Ford 4 x 4 was over here and he had 315/75 x 17's on it w/o any suspension change but it was a 3/4 ton and therefore might sit higher. Even though, those tires are a couple inches bigger in diameter than the 285/16's.
