by far, you videos are the best ones that exactly showed the differences and solved 90% of my concerns!!!!! awesome job!
Appreciate it!
Fkn incompetence is astounding. Sweet ride!
Discount Tire dropped the bombs on this bro....this is what they do, they specialize in tires....no excuses.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying. But it’s been the same manager for years and maybe he has some young new tire techs so I gave them a break. I’ll see how future experiences go.
I just put these on my truck and I am a first time user. I don’t understand why so many people say this suck in deep water and rain I have had nothing but good like with these. I’m curious about snow now. I hope I at least get 50,000 out of them. I rotate and do wheel alignments all the time
Yeah they have deeper tread than the stock tires so deeper water shouldn’t be an issue. They just don’t have quite as much wet road traction maybe because of their aggressiveness. They are good in snow for an all terrain and you should get 50k miles if you drive decent
@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks for the info I’m pretty excited about these. I heard these are good for light mud and light off-roading as well. I wanted something different and I was debating on these or the Toyo all terrains.
@@Tc-ev9dd Toyos are good tires as well, but in my opinion, the BFG is the 2nd best all terrain for snow right behind the Goodyear Duratrac. I’ve owned multiple sets of both tires. The Duratrac is slightly better in snow and mud but the BFG is a bit quieter and feel a bit more solid while towing.
I know how ya feel! We just have bad luck with buying something for our trucks. I get something done and it looks good when I leave. Then I have to go back and get something corrected. I give up!
Gotta do it yourself if you want it done right I guess haha
i think this is the size tire these should come as OEM; i am having my 3rd set of 285 65R20LT KO2s installed tmmrw morning.
Should be an “OEM +” option lol
Love that parkway drive intro!!
It makes my day when people mention it haha!
@@TonyTheTruckGuy nothing better that than driving on man wheels with man music ! Getting these 285 65/20s on my ram . Inspired me bro
@@josepichardo5668 Haha, fantastic! I think they are a nice size if you want a taller tire without having some super wide impractical tire but it still looks decent.
First time watching this channel and man…. Parkway drive!
😎 Welcome! 🤘
Thanks for sharing this video, good job
Beautiful truck man, I have a tradesman with stx, but the all black looks so much better
Looks great but shows every bit of dirt and scratches...white is for sure the way to go haha. Tradesman is good bang for the buck! I had a 2012 Ram 1500 ST which is essentially a tradesman.
Couple things. They didn’t remove the old stick on wheel weights tape that’s left on removal. There is a tool ( I know Myers tire supply has) that does a great job of removing the left on tape without hurting the wheel. They also have black stick on weights. They “ disappear” on wheels like yours. Last, had they recorded ALL dot #s, they would have known right away they had an issue the first time. Mis labeling is a fact of life unfortunately. Didn’t use to be that way, but since a lot tires get labeled at the warehouse instead of the factory now, it happens.
Yeah this whole experience was a shit show haha
Nice looking......think about putting them on my 2020 Ram
Thats a perfect tire size
Wouldn’t have minded a 295/60R20 either, but not many tires are made in that size and I either wanted Duratrac or BFG so ended up with these.
Just ordered these on +18 offset rims for my 2019 big horn with the factory off-road package (+1 inch lift front and back) so I should be good. Thanks for the video! stock is +19.05 offset. So damn close to stock numbers. Might go 1/4 inch spacer as well, we’ll see how close it is to the upper control arms.
That should look nice! The only issue I’d see you having is if you have OEM mud flaps like me. Had to trim a little bit off especially with the spacers but not much at all.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yea I was looking at that, looks like the very inside I may just zip tie back, will be doing a 3.5 inch lift this winter
@@motzoutdooradventures8838 That should do it, and with that lift you probably won’t need any trimming at all.
Lol. My luck as well! Great look on a great looking truck!!
Thanks man!
Great job pal
Love them
Ko2 tires
Thanks for this video, I am planning on putting a 2" level and KO2's on my 19 RAM as well
Makes the truck look quite a bit better just with those 2 simple things in my opinion
@@TonyTheTruckGuy I concur!
put a 2and ahalf moto fab kit truck will be level
@@stephendecostello2783 Most trucks have 2” rake. 2.5” would make the front higher. Then you toss a bag of leaves in the bed and you have yourself a “Cali-lean”
@@TonyTheTruckGuy This ^^^^^^^. I actually use my truck as a, you know, truck. I level it with stuff in the bed or a trailer on the hitch too often to be jacking the front end up on purpose. I'm also short and old, so I like my truck closer to the ground, lol!
First class tire in Clio mi sucks they have sold me 2 tires different 2 different visits with holes in the side wall the one even had a yellow circle around it but they put it towards the inside.
It amazes me how shops that literally do 1 thing can mess up so bad lol
Truck looks awesome. I'm also considering these tires but I would assume they are noisey at 60mph?
If you had the radio completely off you’d probably barely hear them. They are actually fairly quiet. I could do 80 in dead silence no problem but my radio is always on anyways so tire noise wasn’t even a factor lol
Bro you need window tint bad! I love the truck though.
That’s on another video haha
Hey man, what PSI did you run on these? I had the same ones put on and they set them to 50psi and the run rough that high?
@@ml2684 They ride a little rough compared to stock because they are load range E, or at least mine were. I think I ran 35-40 because stock is 36 and these tires hold more volume so no need to go higher than stock unless towing.
I am putting the same set on the same truck Friday.
I think you’ll be pretty happy. Sure, they might not be quite as beefy looking as a 12.5 wide, but they’re so much more practical haha. And still a nice bump over stock.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy absolutely!! Look and ride good and last forever.
Hey tony-
What about regearing the truck? Do you think it’s something that should be done with going with bigger tires n rims? Currently have 275/65/18. Want to go to 275/60/20. Trying to stay close to stock size with going a little bigger…?????
275/60R20 is the stock tire size from the previous generation Ram and only 1” taller from your current size so I probably my wouldn’t regear for that. I ordered my truck with factory 3.92 gears so it wasn’t an issue for me going with a bigger and heavier tire. But even if you have 3.55 or 3.21 I probably wouldn’t bother until you get to 35’s
Nice, Love the Black on the Rims, are they Powder Coated or did you Paint them ?
Factory wheels never did anything to them. They came on the truck new in 2019 as part of the black appearance package.
Hello I know this video is old but I'm really liking your tire set up on this. I have the '19 Ram 1500 bighorn 4x4 with the stock 275/55r20. Would the 285/65r20 fit without any level/lift kit? What about the 275/65r20? I'm needing new tires soon and want taller, bigger tires without leveling/lifting yet. Any advice? I've been looking on the discount tire website. Thank you!
275/65/20 should fit without any issues. The 285/65/20 will be close. The only rub o had was on the factory mud flaps, but I also have a 1.5” level. If you don’t have mud flaps then you might be able to get away with no level and the 285 but it will be close.
Cae did you buy those 275 65 20 for your 19 bighorn yet
Rub'n is a look! Discount only has One Job!
Right? 🤦♂️ Been going to this specific discount for well over a decade and they’re usually pretty good, but I understand good help is hard to find in this market lol.
I just bought a brand new 2022 Ram 1500. Do you think these tires would fit a 2022?
Looks like Ram hasn't changed the model but you never know what could have changed in 3 years.
Yeah I’m not sure if they made any actual changes. Someone else said they were able to fit these on like a 2021 or 2022 4x4 without a level but they also didn’t have the mud flaps which is the only tight clearance I really had on mine. You’d probably be fine but I can’t guarantee it.
The duratracs in 275/60 looked better on the truck then the ko2s
All a preference thing with wheel gap and all. I personally felt like the duratracs looks a bit wimpy after the level (at least in the width department). Would have got duratracs again but they didn’t make them in this size.
@Tony The Truck Guy absolutely all personal preference. Your truck your choice brotha. I was just giving my opinion. I personally like the look of ko2s more than duratracs but thought the duratracs looked better because of the size. All in all nice truck man
If my wife is driving it... rim protection is where its at. 😉
Haha YES!
Love your truck!! I have a 2020 Ram 1500 and I’m thinking of going with the same tire setup. Did you notice any change in the mpg with the 285/65 BFG’s?
It’s hard to say since I almost never have the exact same trip every tank of fuel, and I already had 1 size bigger than stock Goodyear Duratracs before the BFG’s so I really didn’t notice a difference going from the Goodyear to BFG. I’d say you’ll probably lose about 2 mpg coming from a stock tire to the 285 BFG. I also have 3.92 gears so it’s not as noticeable for me.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy that’s what I was thinking also, but I wanted to see what you have experienced. Also, I have a 2” leveling kit and was curious if you noticed any rubbing when the suspension is fully articulated In the front or rear?
@@jerraldheywood7791 I only have the 1.5” level and the only rubbing I had was on the mud flap so I just trimmed that. There was very minor rub on the super flimsy inner splash guard on the front too but it was a little deformed from the factory and had no issues after I pushed it out of the way. I haven’t had the truck fully flexed out or anything but no other rubbing so far.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. I’m thinking I might go with the same set up. Thanks again
@@jerraldheywood7791 No problem, good luck!
Wow, ya in Canada it illegal to run dissimilar tires, like size, load rating/ comp etc. I don’t think your front diff is going to like a axle that spins slower than the other lol
Luckily, the front was open diff lol
I know this video its old but, how does your riding feels with load range e tires?
Please be specific, trying to get the same set but I don’t wanna get disappointed with the riding situation .
Definitely more stiff than the load D Duratracs I had and passenger load range stock tires but the truck itself rides pretty good for a truck so it wasn’t awful. Mine was even more stiff because I had aftermarket towing air bags in the rear that would bottom out on moderate to large bumps.
Cool 😎!
Hey bud nice truck , question ….. did you paint your wheels or are they factory painted ? I like the look of them
They were just factory wheels on the blacked out big horns in 2019. I kinda liked them as well which is why I didn’t bother buying new wheels haha
@@TonyTheTruckGuy they look really good with those meats bro , really nice truck 👍
Thank you!
What gear ratio was your RAM? If a 3.21 any issues when you lifted it or moved to bigger tires with acceleration or the transmission finding gears.
This one was actually 3.92 ratio. If you compared these to bone stock tires, stock would be faster, but considering the size and weight difference, it’s not a huge change. You’d be less likely to go into 4 cylinder in eco mode, though.
Hello, and thank you for the video. Did you recalibrate the spedo to compensate for the larger tire? If so what did you use, and did you have any issues with it? I have been hearing some horror stories about loosing parking sensors and the like.
I used the Z Automotive TazerDT to calibrate the speedo and never had any issues. I'm not sure what the parking sensors would have to do with the tires.
Hey Tony, thanks for the quick response! The question comes from what I have read on a few forums. Basically, people were flashing their truck for certain tire sizes, and for what ever reason the parking sensors stopped working. They would then have to go to the stealership and have the truck factory flashed. Not sure why.
@@anthonyazzara4395 Hmmm. I wonder if they mean ABS not tire sensors. I had a similar thing happen to me last week when I was using AlfaOBD to calibrate the speedo on my 2021 Jeep. It calibrated the speedo but triggered the ABS light, so I had to reset the ABS ECU and clear the faults, then it was fixed. Did all that with AlfaOBD which is about $50 then downloaded it to my laptop. I didn’t have any issue like that when changing the tire size on my Ram, but it might depend on what year you have. My 2019 also had no issues with interior LED lights or LED 3rd brake light, but guys with 2021 and newer say it causes issues with LEDs. They could actually be talking about the tire pressure sensors instead of the ABS on the forum but I guess I’m not sure. What year is your truck?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy I have a 2019 also, so maybe it won’t be an issue for me. These guys did have later model rams, and the parking sensor was definitely the issue. There was a certain MM you could not go above or it would make a mess. When I get home from work Ill check and post it here. It’s can be helpful to others.
@@anthonyazzara4395 Yeah I think you’ll get lucky with the 2019. At least I hope haha
Jesse Loves the Man MEAT; and obviously toofast for you does too.
He's a Chevy fanboy that for whatever reason watches and comments on a bunch of my videos complaining about Ram. For as many videos as he's commented on, he must be subscribed just to post hate comments lmao.
Hey Tony I have the same exact truck I have a question I’m about to put the nitto recon 285/65/20 on mine I have the moto fab 2.5 level kit (yes I know that people don’t have good things to say about the hockey put but it’s been good to me) I just want to know if that size of tire rubs on the uca or any thing I should know before installing I don’t have the mud flaps
Thank you ahead and happy New Years
If you’re using stock wheels you should be fine. I didn’t have any issues with UCA or anything. Only thing I rubbed at all was mud flaps but you don’t have those and your level is taller so I think you’ll be just fine.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy perfect thank you! I’m going for the same look of your truck
Did you paint his rims black yourself?
@@wheelInmotion430 Stock wheels, they came that way.
I have a 2021 Dodge Ram big horn crew cab 4x4 that has stock wheels and tires 275/65/18, how much bigger can I go with a leveling kit? Or can you? Looking for a bigger tire or rim without having to put leveling kit done
Well your current size is basically a 32"x11" tire. I had a set of 275/60R20 which are basically 33"x11" without a level and I was fine. You MIGHT be able to get a 275/65R20 in there which is like a 34"x11" but it's going to be close without a level. As you can tell by the video here, my main issue was the OEM mud flaps. If you don't have those, you can get away with a little bit bigger tire. But I wouldn't even think about trying to run a 33x12.5 or 35x12.5 without a level because they're so wide so you have to space the wheel out to prevent control arm rubbing, etc, but then you rub on the fenders and such unless the front end is high enough. Stick with something 11" wide or narrower and 34" tall or less and you should be good.
I know this is from 2 years ago but do you happen to know what the height from ground is to the top of the fender measurement is?
Unfortunately I don’t. I’d measure for you but I traded the truck in last year lol. I do have another video installing the leveling kit and I believe I took measurements in that video. I had 33’s at the time though, so this setup would be roughly 3/4” more.
LMAO!! They better give it to you with discount!!!!!
I was hoping for that but no 😓 Didn’t feel like arguing just wanted it done and done right lol
Just wondering if a 275 65 R20 tire will fit on the 5th Gen 1500 stock suspension.
@@hawkeyes3199 As long as you have stock offset wheels
@@TonyTheTruckGuy the Oem 20s? Or do they not have the correct offset
@@hawkeyes3199 Yeah should be good with those. These are factory 20x9 and they only rubbed on the OEM mud flaps
@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks man!!!!
I have a factory 2019 Dodge Ram Big Horn 1500 no mudflaps or leveling kit etc. Would you recommend the 285/65/20 or 275/65/20?
Is your truck 4wd or 2wd?
For the wheel weights, that would only make sense if the adhesive was on both sides. It would be impossible for half of the weights to come free from the wheel and then stick to the other half of the weights when the adhesive is on the rim.🤨🤔
Nooooo. It's definitely possible. I explain better at 9:50. Pretty much like 4 of the weights lifted up and folded in on themselves. The way I'm holding the weight is not how it came off the truck, I just had it folded in half so it wasn't sticking to things.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy ah ok that makes more sense.
Can you compare road noise from the Goodyear’s and the KO2s? Also do you think having the full factory wheel well liners would cause any clearance issues?
Wheel liners in the rear shouldn’t be an issue at all. I’m actually going to be getting some. The road noise is comparable, but I think slightly louder with the Duratrac. Still nowhere near mud terrain sound level, though. I think either tire is a great choice. I’ll know more once I see how the BFG does in snow. - EDIT: After running both through all seasons, I can say that they both wear well. The Duratrac is slightly louder, but it also comes with more tread, and does a bit better in snow and mud.
Would 285/55 be a better choice for no rub?
Yeah especially if you have no lift. My only rubbing was on the mud flap though and I trimmed those in another video.
Sweet!!
Thanks ahead for anyone that bothers to help.. So question is I have a 2019 Ram 1500 stock ride and want to run BFG 285/60R20 with Zero offset 20/9 rims think it will all fit stock ? thanks
New body style, or classic?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy sorry should have added that...New body style no factory mud flaps
@@tony70ful I think you should be good if you ha e 4x4. The 285/60 is 1” smaller diameter than my tires plus you don’t have mud flaps. The wheels you want will stick out 3/4” more than mine, but I think you’ll skate by again since no mud flaps and slightly smaller.
Dont put wheel spacers on its only going to wear out bearings and axles quicker
Well the truck is gone now anyways 🤣 1/4” spacers didn’t put much stress on it. I wouldn’t recommend 2” spacers or anything that big.
How is the road noise of the BFG compared with the DuraTracks? How about off road capabilities?
BFG is quieter on road but in my opinion isn’t as good as the Duratrac in snow or mud.
When you changed tire sizes did you notice a significant mpg decrease?
It’s hard to say since I never did a direct MPG comparison between the 2, but I didn’t observe anything noticeable. I averaged 15 in the summer time with both setups. Maybe .5-1 max if you did a straight highway instant MPG comparison.
Tony do you think if you did the 2 inch strut spacer you would not have any rubbing
Hard to say. I’m not sure an extra 1/2” would be enough. But the only rubbing is on the OEM mud flap so without those these fit just fine. I just trimmed my flaps a little bit which I also have a video on
i am ordering 1 set of forged wheels, i am wondering if i should go for 20* 10J instead of 9j. or whether i should go for 295 65r20 tires? but i like your 285 65R20 with minimum rubbing
I guess I’m not sure what 9j and 10j means. You mean inches wide?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yes, J=bead profile.the width of the rim from bead lip to bead lip-the widest part of the inside of the rim
@@qiqi7226 Yeah if you go with 10” wide then you’d have to calculate the correct offset to get you sitting about the same as the 9” wides. That being said, the 9” seemed like plenty for the 285 tire, so it might look a bit stretched on a 10” wide, so keep that in mind. Also 295/65 will obviously be bigger, so it’s going to rub worse if you have mud flaps.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy i think i will have to stay with 285 65 20. i saw your 20*9 fits great.... thanks bro
@@qiqi7226 No problem, good luck!
Is that a built to serve ram?
Just a Bighorn
So this set up won’t work with no leveling ? My bighorn has tiny little mudflats from stock not the normal larger flap.
It MIGHT work, I just can’t say for sure since mine was already lifted. The tire will definitely be stuffed into the front wheel well, that’s for sure lol. With stock offset wheels, it might be fine aside from possible mud flap contact or inner splash guard contact, but I don’t think you’ll be rubbing any sheet metal.
Had this exact tire installed today on my 2022 ram 1500 bighorn lone star. Looks great no rubbing so far. 285/65R20x9 DOES fit with out leveling. Hope this helps someone cuz I was worried. It is stuffed in there pretty good but I like a little less wheel gap personally.
@@bossstrick Good to know, thanks for reporting back! I assume your truck is 4x4?
Yes
Thanks for all your Ram videos they rock !!! Very informative and helpful definitely be subscribing for a while👍🏻
Did you have to do a lift to it?
This truck did have a 1.5" level in the front and it just barely rubbed the OEM mud flaps with the tires. Just trimmed my flaps slightly. If you have a 4x4 truck with no mud flaps and no level or lift, they might fit but it's going to be close. I think 1 other guy in the comments here did that.
I have a 2021 ram 1500 bighorn my stock tires are 275/55/R20
Is there any mods I need to do to run these tires? I’m new to all this.
I’m not sure what’s “required”, but I did a 1.5” leveling kit and had to trim a little bit of my OEM mud flaps, now I have zero rub. Also I’m 4x4 which sits higher, not sure if you are or not.
I have the same wheels and would want to go bigger on tiers without any lifts do you think 280/60/20 would work on stock?
No such tire that size as far as I know, but a 285/60/20 should fit as long as your truck is 4wd
Thanks
Question, I have a 2021 big horn ram with a 2.5 leveling kit in front. I have the stock rims but I want to run a 33/12.5/20 do you think I’ll have rubbing?? On the A arm?
By the way no mudflap
@@dc4474 Someone told me they had the same setup you mentioned without rubbing. I’m sure the specific tire matters a bit, but you should be good.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy right on thanks, worst case scenario I might run a .25 spacer
@@dc4474 Yeah I think that would be enough even if you did have a small rub. Besides the mud flaps, that inner splash guard was my only issue.
I got the same tire on my sierra all terrain. It looks great, but I noticed they look skinnier than my old 275/55/20.
I'm about to replace my stock rims with 20x10. Hoping they beef out a smidge lol.
They're a great tire, though! Very quiet and smooth rolling.
What size are your current tires?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy
285/65r20 on what I think are 9 inch rims (stock GM snowflakes)
Yup, 20x9
@@snooka2484 Yeah the 275/55 are a lower profile and actually do measure just a tad bit wider I think because of that. And they also LOOK even wider due to the height/width ratio. Part of me wishes these looked a bit wider, but they aren’t bad, and I enjoy the practicalities of these “narrower 35’s”
@@TonyTheTruckGuy
Going in a totally different direction. I decided to go back to a street tire toyo proxes st3 305/50/20, down from those 285/65/20 10 ply BFGs.
After some number crunching I should be 21lbs lighter of rotational mass on each corner. Still waiting for the rims to ship. It's been so many years since any of my trucks had anything but AT/RT tires.
Tony the truck guy. My name is Quincy. I have 275/65r20s on my 2008 dodge ram 1500. It also has 2.5 leveling kit on it. But I want to change my tire size to a 275/55r20. Whats your suggestion?
Do I need to have a leveling kit to run these tires..currently have a stock 2018 1500 quad cab
Yours is a different body style, so I’m not sure. If you have a 4x4, you’d probably be able to run this size so long as you keep factory wheels.
Where’d you get the 1.5” leveling kit?
It says it's only for 2013-2018 trucks, but this is the one I used - amzn.to/3sQCxV9
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks! Trying to find something for my ‘21 with the off road package
Have a 2014 ram 1500 express crew cab 4x4. Would 285/65r20 fit on stock height with out rubbing?
Hard to say, I’ve never ran that size on a 2014 body style. MAYBE if you’re using stock wheels. But it wouldn’t surprise me if you needed to add a leveling kit. The front ends on those trucks are pretty low
@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks man! Looking into getting some BFGs. Moving back to Minnesota from Ca in a month so want some beefier tires.
Discount tire did the same thing to me with 3 same and 1 different (smaller). I was piss!!
So annoying
Would you say these tires ride very stiff? I bought some federal xplora rt tires which are 10 ply load range E and they’re so stiff even at 35 psi. I feel every bump and crack on the road. Looking to get some 8 ply range D instead.
They’re more stiff than the stock cheapo passenger tires that come on these trucks, and it’s no Cadillac, but I can’t complain for a load D all terrain. I’m sure most tires in that class would ride similarly.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Your specific size of tire is load range E the same load range as the tires I have currently that’s why I was wondering if yours are also very stiff cause I wasn’t sure if all (E) 10 ply are really stiff or just my tires. KO2’s are made in range (D) 8 ply but only up to size 285/55R20. Anyway thanks for replying
@@gmcsierra4889 Lol you’re right, not sure why I thought mine were D’s. These are definitely a bit more stiff than the 275/60 Duratracs I had. They were a “SL” load rating max 51 psi. I believe D rating usually is around 65 psi max. So you’re probably wanting a D range if you don’t want a stiff ride. I’d imagine most E range with the same plies will be similar.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Haha all good man I would’ve never imagined that there was so much to look into when buying beefy tires for a truck but by trial and error now I know. I don’t haul anything to heavy just camping gear and driving around town so a D range tire would most like suit me better. Your truck looks really nice though I’m definitely considering a newer ram 1500
@@gmcsierra4889 Thanks! And yeah I’d say a D would be plenty for that. Good luck with your search for the right tire haha
You think these would fit a stock warlock with no levelling kit?
I did reply to your other video comment, but since then, I did find this other video. I believe a Warlock sits 1” higher than a normal 4x4, and this guy fit a 285/65r20 on his stock 4x4 Ram sport. It would probably run though if you got any more aggressive of a wheel. You’d likely have to maintain stock wheel specs, but check it out - ruclips.net/video/Dtv4mGlGIyw/видео.html
Hey tony I had a question about my 2020 ram 1500
I was leaving Home Depot and my knee accidentally pushed the 4wd high and drove through the parking lot for about 5minutes before noticing and going back to 2wd should i be concerned about this?
Nah, you probably noticed some binding or bucking but if it was at lower speeds for a short time then you’ll be fine.
why do you worry about riding with 4WD High? This is a serious question. I thought 4WD High means for all days driving if needed. We can leave the truck with 4WD High the whole winter without harming our truck, is it correct? It just uses more gas I think.
@@kd221 I think you mean 4wd auto
@@rupertturner7311 no I meant 4WD High. What's wrong with driving 4WD High other than more gas? 4WD Auto will turns on the 4WD High as needed, so same idea there. Why can't we driving with 4WD high around the town?
Did you try the LT275/65R20 KO2 AND DID THEY RUB?
4:03 - They put a 275/65 on by accident, which is smaller than the 285/65 of course. Didn't rub but I also had a 1.5" lift in the front.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Which lift did you use?
@@BenMarton It was a “Wulf” brand 1.5” front spacer that was actually advertised for the 4th gen trucks but it worked because the bolt pattern was the same on my truck. Link in video description.
@@TonyTheTruckGuyThank you, Sir!
@@BenMarton You got it!
Brand new truck and brand new tires, doesn't seem like bad luck to me. Seems like you got it pretty good.
Lol. I worked for my money though. Still an inconvenience and bad luck considering they specialize in doing tires.
Any chance you can put a tape measure on and get some actual tire height numbers?
You just want actual tire height from the ground to top of tire with weight on the truck?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yes please if you have the time. And thank you!
@@dbriggs1689 34” tall right on the nuts from the ground to top of tire tread as level as I can get by eye. That’s the rear tire so no engine weight on it. Inflated to 35 psi
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thank you
I have a 2016 Ram Laramie 4x4Crew cab with air suspension. Could I go 285/65R20 without a leveling kit?
Honestly not sure. The 2016 is a different body style and I think the air ride suspension lowers slightly while driving for aerodynamics so that may be an issue. On my truck, I MAYBE could have done the 285s without a level if I didn’t have OEM mud flaps, but IMO that’s too much tire and not enough fender gap for my taste.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy stock is 275/60R20 for my truck. I’m starting to think there isn’t that much difference. I’m interested in the k02 all terrain and want to go a bit bigger.
@@miranda2789 Yes stock is 275 but a 285/65 is a full 1.5” taller and a half inch wider. Like I said, they might fit, I just would hate to say yes and then you find out they don’t lol. There should be a fair gallery though with that particular setup on Google or the 4th Gen Ram forums though.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks for your help.
@@miranda2789 Any time, good luck!
Tony, what running boards you have there
OEM in this video! I have an install/overview video here for them, and I think I have part numbers or product links in that video description - ruclips.net/video/9niXrkxwTFI/видео.html
Hi Tony, what psi are you running at ?
I think I’m at around 35 psi cold right now but I haven’t played around with pressures yet. I have no complaints at 35 though
Did you replace the mud flats? They look bigger ?
Nope OEM mud flaps still, not sure why they might look different haha
Mine are smaller I thought you replaced then since the bigger tires! But rad truck !
@@Carranza1911 Nope, same ones. Thanks!
Would that tire size fit with stock airbag suspension?
Probably, as long as you have factory 20x9 wheels and no factory mud flaps. Otherwise you’d need to trim the flaps a bit. You can also get a linkage for pretty cheap that fools your front air bags and keeps the front end up a bit higher like a cheap leveling kit.
I just ordered these for my AT4 how do they ride compare to stock ride quality
Definitely a bit stiffer despite having more sidewall due to the load range E but still not awful.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Dang I was hoping for better than not awful lol
@@Gulf_Coast_Slow_Jigging Haha well it’s not awful but you’re going to have a really hard time beating the factory ride. Pretty sure it’s just a passenger rated tire from the factory, so almost any replacement tire is going to be stiffer.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yes the factory uses a much lower ply standard load…just trying to decide the best option for aftermarket between KO2 or Ridge grapplers for Florida city driving
@@Gulf_Coast_Slow_Jigging If you don’t tow real heavy, I’d try to find something that’s a load range D or XL load range. Both should be stronger than stock, but ride better than a load range E BFG. Personally I’m looking at the ridge grappler in an XL load rating for my grand Cherokee
I would do a Nascar burnout then demand new tires.
How much mpg did you lose?
It’s hard to say since the tires I came from were also bigger and heavier than stock. I’d probably say 2 mpg from stock to a heavier tire of this size
I would have them replace them all with the tire you want with the snowflake, and then make them give you a discount. They owe that to you now for messing up the size like that.
They did replace all 4 with the ones that I originally wanted. I just didn’t get a discount lol
Even after the whee weight mess up I would ask for the manager and a discount. They just gave you an excuse.
Yeah I should have but it all worked out in the end and they aren’t far from me. It was annoying but the only problem I’ve ever had with them so I just didn’t want to put in the effort and I let it slide this time lol
you clearly didnt finish the video or listen to what he said. Is your name karen? you sound pretty karen'y to me. Things happen, we are all human. They fixed the issues and thats all that matters.
@@mattwilde3329 what does Karen sound like? You might sound like her too.
What psi are you running?
Just 35 all around unless towing or hauling. I think factory is only like 33
My Ram 1500 calls for 39, I just bought the same tires, I think I’ll drop them down to 35
@@zipperboy2008 Maybe it is 39. I figured the bigger tires have more volume and are more stiff, so a slightly lower pressure seems to work ok
Is that a BackCountry ?
Is what a Back Country? Lol
@@TonyTheTruckGuy BigHorn BackCountry Package .
@@mrmoparrr Ohhh. I’ve honestly never heard of that package. This was just a big horn with the black appearance package and LED lighting package with level 2 equipment group.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy just realized its a 2019 and the BackCountry didn’t come out till last Spring. Love the Stance with the Front 1.5 Lift on yours .
@@mrmoparrr That makes sense haha. Thanks! I thought it was a nice happy medium.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌
Sounds like my luck
How tf did they accidently put that 275 on there lmao, why would they not verify that they got the correct tires before putting them on the truck!
Right? Visually smaller tire as well. Plus all the wheel weight issues. Work quality has sure gone down lol.
Will the 285/70/r20
Also fit on your truck??
I’m sure more mud flaps trimming would need to be done since that’s an even taller tire than this but it’s probably doable.
Tony The Truck Guy Great thanks! I have the same truck but a 2.5 leveling kit on the front. Ill be getting the 285/70r20 on stock rims 9x20. Hopefully everything works out haha 😅
Do you have mud flaps? If not then probably no issues since you have a 2.5” level co pared to my 1.5”. Your tire will be about 1” taller overall.
Tony The Truck Guy nope, no mud flops. Ill let you know how everything turns out 👍🏽
This might be a dumb question but will it be ok if I go from a 265/60r18 to a 275/65r18 on the same stock wheel?
😍❗👍
Does it have a level?
1.5” yes. It still has about 1/2” of rake which I wanted. 2” would get you perfectly level.
Do you a set of eyeballs dipshit?
Discount sucks!
Everyone sucks now days. Don't really trust anything unless I do it myself lol
WTF!!!
BLT - Bad Luck Tony 😂
Rams 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
You must drive a Chevy 😂
Tony The Truck Guy yea u must drive a baby 5.7 couldn’t afford a Chevy 6.2 kid sorry have fun with that Kia I mean ram shit look dumb hate tell u kid
I love how upset you get, it makes my day. For a guy that hates Rams so much, you sure watch and comment on a lot of my videos LMAO! Do you even have a 6.2? Or do you just like to pretend? Sorry, I don't need the biggest engine available to prove my manhood.
Tony The Truck Guy lmao u commented to me back so u “RUclips kid” must be the one triggered 😂😂 enjoy making videos not getting a real job kid
Well first off, I'm not triggered at all, I just recognized your name from other videos and found it hilarious that you follow me just to complain. Which is fine with me, because more comments help the video. I guess I didn't realize that 30 years old was a kid, and I guess I didn't realize that wrenching for a living wasn't a real job. Have a good day!
