New tire option for us 17” SRW orphans
Long time listener, first time caller. BFG has a fairly new tire out, called the HD Terrain T/A KT. It comes in many sizes, but for those of us wearing 17s, there really hasn’t been as many options ...

Grit- thanks for the information, I didn’t realize the 18s could be plug-n-play many years later.
I have an early G56 that hits 2000rpm before 70mph even with the 315s, so I will look for something at least 34” tall. The 315s were the tallest fit without lifting.
I’m now lusting after a load index of 128 or 129, newer 18” rims would be nice…. Thanks again!
I had the same, early G56. Thank god it wasn’t 4.10s lol.
But yes srw Rams are still 8x6.5 lugs even new models. And any stock tire/wheel combo is a perfect fit on a 3rd Gen. That’s what I did back in the day on the 07. Got a set of new 4th gen 20s.
Best I could do for tall n skinny and price point was 275-65-20 when I wore out the 285-60s. But the high load tire options are numerous for both 18s and 20s.
And there’s piles of them for sale since a large number of folks put aftermarket wheels on them.
For the old GM guys, Ram wheels are also a great option for GMT800 trucks. GM changed bolt patterns with the gmt900 models I believe. Should be a law about that and all 3 should have 8x6.5 still….
