You guys know that you can go to your Dodge dealer, and they can fix the speedo/odo to any tire size you want. I did this when I got my 265/75s put on in place of my factory 245/70s. Fixed the speedo being off, and my mileage.

When the Superchips programmer comes out I'll be able to adjust it myself.

OK, so the big question is:
How do they ride (Zeon LTZs 305/50/20) ?? (float/drift? sound?)

Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town lately.

They ride great. Definitely feel more secured to the ground in turns, etc. And most importantly, I'm finally not spinning my wheels up the boat ramp. That was the real test. Had they failed that test I'd be looking for new tires again.

However they are definitely a little louder than stock, but nothing compared to a BFG MT.

I know you've probably already thought of this. But I figured I'd throw it out there:
I recently just bought the 305/55/20's from Sears at little under $280 per tire. Sears (at least in my location in Central FL) offers a price match + 10% discount against competitors. IMHumbleO, haggle the **** out of them.

So what would make the extra $ worth it for 55 over 50?

Those look cheaper, but has anyone purchased from them before? How much does shiping set you back?
