I was thinking about putting a set of these on my truck since I do alot of towing. Everyone told me that they hold more weight and last a lot longer, but the ride is terrible. So I decided against it.

Depends on what you consider ride like crap... I think the 35x12.5x17s ride like crap... I feel like I'm on four balloons floating down the interstate even at 50psi. I'm seriously heading down the road of selling my 35's andpainted aluminumsthat I've only had 5,000 miles and getting the 19.5's. But, just my $0.02.

I'm swapping to 19.5's when I wear these tires out. Although I'll probably go alcoa's

I hope that I'm wrong on that statement. The truck doesn't exactly ride like a cadillac to begin with, so how much worse can it be?

I'm going this route partcially for safety, and the other for looks. I'll never re-coup the bucks going into this, but I can't take it with me either.

The biggest drag of it all is that I had to replace the stock tires just last week. The new rims are still on backorder, but I had to get new tires due to a planned trip coming up next week.

Sometimes "Murphy's Law" is my middle name!

i wonder what the discount dodge dealerships sell the
model year 2007 Ram 3500 Cab/Chassis wheels for?
They are now 19.5 from the factory.

Please keep this in mind when it come time to sell. I've already printed it out and stored it in my desk drawer.
