those tires look good on a ram. I went with 35x12.5 but I had to get different wheels to do it.

Thumbs up

Bridgestone is a quality tire, but like beer and oil, everyone has a personal preference. Everyone does agree that they are much better than the oem gys. The 285 gives the truck an improved stance with only a light loss of get up and go (the effective ratio is reduced 5%).
