Hello everyone, this is my first post and I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I need your advice.

Back in July I bought a 2008 Ram 1500 SXT 5.7 Hemi to haul my new 29ft Jayco G2 travel trailer. Towed beautifully. This is my first Ram an I must say that I LOVE the RAM.

Anyway, I'm am no tire expert and my question is with winter approaching I am in need of some winter tires. Currently the tires on the RAM are P265/70/17. I have a near new set of P265/65/17 Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires that I paid almost $1200 for that belonged to my Nissan Xterra SC, which I sold recently. The obvious question is will there be a problem putting the P265/65/17 on my Ram. Also will I need to change Rims? I know that my rims are 17" but will changing from 70 to 65 cause me to change my rims?

Sorry if this is a stupid question and I really appreciate all the help.

Cheers,

Kevin

 

Nope, you'll be fine. Speedo will be off slightly due to the slightly smaller tires but not enough to matter...

 

Thats vir-tualy no change in tire size. LOL

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What they said.

 

Only concern would be load ratings. Size will be fine.

 

yup should be alright

bolt pattern is 5x5.5
