im running 305's. way to much grip imho. 325's will rub hard unless you get some spacing work done

I just got 305's this afternoon. They're freakin' wide and the biggest you'd want to go on the stock wheels. I gotta say - they kick the *** of the stock Goodyears I had to put up with!

Mine came with the 17rims 265-70-r17 tires. Still trying to decide if i want to put these rims i purchased from a 2007 Ram they are 20x9 alloys, looking at the 285-50-20 tires. What do you guys think . Also my truck is a 4x4. and dont want to it to ride rougher like the way it handles now.

I'm running these tires in 305/50/20. We had a massive downpour yesterday and I could go through standing water 4-6 inches deep at 40+ mph. I didn't start out there of course - I gradually went quicker to see how they'd do. They're fantastic!

Going by the size, they're 3% smaller than the stock diameter, meaning I'm reading 1.8 mph high at 60. That's ok though - I'll correct it with the Superchips programmer today. The slightly smaller diameter means better acceleration too. I'll take what I can get!

Discount Tire is frequently low or out of these tires so they may be hard to buy if you want 'em. They were the only true "truck tire" I could find in 20s without going Nittos or other brands costing $250-300+ per tire. I don't go mud bogging but then again I wanted something on my truck that could handle more than gravel roads & grassy hills.
