Hi everybody. My tow vehicle is a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500, 2wd. It is ready for new tires, and currently has 245/70r17 tires on it. I have found a great deal on a set of 285/70r17 tires, but am unsure as to what the pros / cons of this tire. The tire guy tells me there is no problem going to this size tire, but then again, he is trying to sell tires.
Has anyone else here done this, and if so, are there any concerns?
The only difference between your stock tires and the tires that you are thinking off is the width of the tire across the thread. Its a wider tire. I don't see that as a problem except the tire could rub the frame or something when you turn. Most tire stores have a database that list other size that will fit fine. If the sales man says it will be fine, then it may be fine. Try it and make sure they will take it back if rubs something.
