19.5 wheels and tires.

[Archive]

Well I have used up 24 tires on my dualie-plus 6 more that have about 10,000 (od says 110,000)left on them. Have tried all brands. Tow 13,000 lbs and have heavy (size 14) right foot. Should I spend the Mucho Bucks and spring for 19. 5's and who's. Anybody have any l o n g term updates on dodges and 19. 5's?

I spoke to Matt down at Rickson. He says the tires will last at least three times the mileage of what you get on the 16" tires.
You cluld always re cap the tires too. I'd avoid this if you're driving in hot climes.
I'd like to do this too, but only because I don't want to bother buying new tires every 50K Miles. HTH

I saw a 2500 12v truck with Rickson's this weekend. They were much nicer than I expected. I want a set for sure! However, the truck was on its second set of tires. I asked the owner how long the first set lasted. I was surprised to find he only got about 60K miles out of them! I saw one of the old tires he saved for a spare, and it was worn out. The tires were 265/70 Michelin. XZT's I believe.
