I have PM a few members here regarding upgrading to 19.5 wheels and tires regarding Dodge trucks and a big thanks to all who have responded. Before purchasing the 19.5 vision wheels would like to get opinions on 19.5 245/70r load range G tire brands. have some good deals on Hercules and Dyna trac. Also a local shop here in Dallas area sells and services 19.5 tires. They carry Doublecoin, Hercules, and Falken. Also would like to learn more regarding open or steer types and bead balancing.
I put a set of Hercules on my 99 F550 dually last year. I went with all steers. Truck weighs about 9000lbs and caribou weighs in loaded at 5000 lbs. About 10000 miles on them and they look brand new. I'm pleased.
Replaced a worn out set of 225 Michelens.
I did see a small drop in milage. don't know if that is related to taller tire or not. Not a big difference.
Overall I like the tire. $1100 for the set of 6.
