I have a set of Goodyear Wrangler 265 70R 16 tires and was wondering if these could be put on 1996 Ram 1500 SLT 2Wd Stock? I notice when looking up for new tires the largest recommended size is 245 / 75 R 16 so what will be the difference in these that I would need to be aware of?

 

I'm on my third set of 265's and have never had any issues.

 

Thank you Richard

 

Difference between those two sizes in heigth wise is barely noticable, just a little under 4 millimeters.

 

i swapped my 245s for 265s on my 2500 and I never had problems.

 

This thread is a month old, but FWIW I moved up from 255 70 16 Michelins to 265 a month ago. Love them! (truck bought new & v=came with 245's).

 

I quick search shows the different between those two sizes is minimal.
