not bridgestone... stay away from them... the 245's i put on (to replace stock crappers after i did a few too many gravel runs) ended up throwing me into a speed sign doing 15mph on a semi wet road. i ended up having to get a new bumper because of them.
Nothing wrong with Bridgestones/Firestones I love the Dueler HTs that are on the front of my truck, and my cousin had Dueler ATs on all 4 corners of his truck. They worked great for him in the rain/snow, and lasted longer than any set of tires he's had on that truck.

I also have a set of Firestone Radial ATXs on my Ramcharger that are 15 years old [8D]

do i have to stay with the three seperate numbers or can i go 32x10's or what......i have the 2000 4x4 off-road package!!!!
I have a 1500 with the off road package too. I am running 33x12.5x17 tires. They are the Dick Cepek FC-II's and I really like them. Low noise over the road and great wet traction. I would highly recommend them.

They are not even close to rubbing. I have 2 inch spacers on the front and a 2 inch add a leaf in the rear. Even without that lift, they do not rub. With the lift on, they have plenty of room. I can go lock to lock with tons of room to spare.

im running goodyear wrangler silent armor 265/70/16. Yes its a 2wd but the get better traction than must street tires especially for large mass of 1/2 tonDODGE..... i had the bfg all-terrains loved em but i think these are better and i dont mean just because of the kevlar inside and yes i did notice a loss in mpg, but i blew it off now its dropped significantly so i up to about $900 in doing something about it and lookin at $300 more. of the extra hp and torue that goes along with is a geat side effect.

Ya there 16's. VERY quite for how aggressive they are. I went with the black cuz I wanted a black/chrome theme with the emblems/exhaust/wheels. I like the white letter on them, jst not for my black truck.
