Tire Size?

[RTSleeper]

My truck currently has( Kumho) 255/55/17, I went to Big o Tires and they said the tire is discontinued?:mad: I'm going with some 255/50/17, will that tire be too low? What are you guys using for the stock 17's?

[krusty_R/T]

Lots of us use that size. The Riken's are decent. Is your truck lowered?

[Rebel13]

That is a one inch smaller tire. It will drop the truck down .5 inch and add .5 to your wheel well. That's not a big deal, may I sugjest maybe going a little wider while your at it? Try it and you could always lower the truck an inch or two and it will look good.

Or Try a 275/50/17 and it will be about stock, but wider.:)

not lowered yet, thinking about going with BFGoodrich. I just don't want my truck to look wierd if the tire height is too low.

Hotchkis lowered 03 (with Stampede skirts) on BFG KDWS 255/50/17's.
Huge pics, sorry.

Nice truck, the tires look good but I don't know if they would look the same on a truck thats not lowered.

[jweltch]

They wouldn't. I got the tires before I lowered it and it just looked goofy to me.

I have a pair of 255/55-17 Kumhos that came with the truck sitting in the garage. They're relatively low on tread, but are probably worth a few thousand miles. If you know someone who is already swinging by Vegas they might be worth picking up, I'd only want something like $30 for the pair.

I think the only 2 options in 275/50/17 are Falkens and Nittos. Unless someone else started making a tire in that size.

I think the 275/50/17's look the best on the stock R/T wheels....i was running those for awhile.......

[slvr03dakrt]

There aren't to many options out there as far as tires go. I have run both the falkens and the nittos in 275/50/17. Both have their ups and downs the falkens rode a little nicer but had less traction and the nittos have more traction but are a little noiser but deffinatly bareable. As far as a 255/55/17 goes most of the options are way over priced i think the stock goodyears were over 200 a piece.

These are a pretty cheap option for the stock tire size. I bought two for the rear of my truck but I have not had them mounted yet. I bought these because you cann't get the Khumos anymore.

Do you think thwey can be ordered through a Big O Tires? I don't like to order stuff through the internet.

[BlueCCRT]

They might be able to get them. That link is the exact place I ordered mine from, and I know other people on this forum have also used them for tires without any issues.

I'll try it tomorrow hope it works.
