Talking New guy here tire question!

First off, I have a 2003 Ram Quad Cab 4x4

I'm looking to go a liltle bigger on the tires in hieght

currently I have 265\70\R17's

Will I be ok with 285\70\r17's ? I don't do a lot of off roading, it's 80% highway travel and we get lots of snow for the Winter.

I'm thinkin of going with the Bridgestone Dueler A\T's

suggestions?

thanks,
Pat

Yeah, 285/70/17 is basically a 33" x 11.5" tire, you'll have no problem running it.

Bridgestone Dueler is a pretty good tire, especially for pavement in so-so weather conditions...

Yes, you will be fine, My buddy has a 2wd and the 285/70r17s fit fine. So your 4wd sits a little taller and will be just fine with them
