Default Question to Silver Dodge About Tires 305/70/16

When you put on your tires did you do anything to the front end?

I was wondering when I put my 305/70/16's on if I will have to get the front redone for the truck to track normal.

thanks

I think you mean an alignment, and no, tire change alone shouldn't require an alignment, unless your old tires show signs of uneven wear. Even doing a mild lift shouldn't require realignment unless you mess with the control arms.
That said, I did have mine realigned after I put everything on (lift and tires) becasue my previous tires were cutting on the outside edge due to toe in.

Thanks for the info that was what I was trying to say lol.

I took the plunge and upgraded the 265/75/16s to the size in the header. I looked at a ton of tires in the last 4 months and I just have to buy the baja claws again due to the awesome anti-hydroplane charactoristics it has. The roads flood out here all the time thanks to all the over weight farm tractors running around on the public roads. They divit the roads so they hold water. The current tires I have are coopers and they float on top of the water all the time. Makes me feel very unsafe. Big bad 4x4 cant even stick to the road. lol. Anyway I will post up some pictures when I get them on and we will see how they fit. I am going to level the truck out so that should help. Since they are 33's I will have to re gear in the future I guess but this is enough money spent for awhile.

This is the thread pattern for anyone wondering. Pictures are of 31's that I bought 2 years ago for my ranger.

At least I know I am 100% happy with these tires since its my 2nd set.

Get some pics when you get them on. I have thought about them for my truck when I need new tires I can't decide if I like the look better or less than the BFGMT's now not really sure what I will get hopefully that is a ways away but I would like to see what they look like on a Ram. Are you lifting your truck to clear them or leaving it stock?
