Default So... I've got to buy tires soon.

Whats the Biggest size tires I can but on my truck without doing a Lift? (My Lifting days were over the day I sold my Jeep lol) I currently have 265/75's on it. But they wont pass another inspection nor get me through this winter.

Ideas? Comments? Concerns? Hostile Disagreements?

The biggest tire I think you can run would be 285/75/16.

I see you're running that size on your Ram? How much did that set you back, if they are decent tires I'll look into it, I've gotta get a set by winter or I'll be in the ditch.

ya there pretty good, so far haven't really tested them in mud/snow yet.

I got them at $275 a tire about ($1,100). but I'm in canada so they might be cheaper down in the states.

Im running 33x12.50 bfg all terrians and there a great tire for snow/light offroading/daily driving. Not a bad price either, I dont have any lift as of right now and they only rub alittle in full lock. Deffinatly a tire worth checking out, everyone in the oil field uses them, -40 and below and they still work great!

33/11.50/16 will fit your truck fine. But I still think that a Ram with 285/70/R16 and a front level looks the best.

What kind of tire do you want? Mud Terrain, All Terrain, or All Season?
