1st post, own a 2004 Dodge Ram. I have the stock 20s on it but need new tires. I found some nice perellis (SP?) to put on them but they only come in 275/55. How much ofa difference cosmeticly will this look compared to my 275/60s currently on my 20s? Thanks!!
If your truck is 4x4 I would stay with the 60 series. If not I would go with the 55. I wnet from 17s to 20s I put 285 55 20 and they rode too hard . I then put 285 60 20 which is what some stock 4x4 came with and its alot better. Its about 1 inch diffrence on the side wall.
nope...either size was standard stock size dependant on what year...go with the 275/55's...will perform better...
Hey Fred, the truck looks good. Electric cut-out is a nice touch... Once I wear out the factory tires, I'll probably get some 275/55s. A little shorter, just as wide, better selection.
If the truck isn't lowered, I personally think the shorter 55 series tires are too small. Shows too much wheelwell. They will be 5% shorter than the stock tires.
This equates to the side wall being .55 inches shorter thus the tire will be about 1.1" shorter.
Hey yall. My Ram 2008 is listed with 275 60r20 tires and that's what I've ran. But i can get a great deal to me on cooper 275 55r20...for 1) will they fit and 2) I'm short already how much harder to climb into my truck?
