36" Tires Fit on a Stock 4x4 2500

#ad

Denman Coyote LT305/85R16. About 36" tall & 10. 5" wide. We drove for 15 miles. The front tires only rubbed the plastic inner fender liner once hitting a small bump pulling into the driveway with the wheel at 3/4 turn. Had to remove the OE moulded Dodge mud flaps on the front fenders. The tires would contact in a turn. Note how the tire sits inside the wheelwell. Maybe 1/4"stuck out. Plenty of room on the lower fender sheetmetal. Jeff didn't get the vague steering I did with these tall sidewall tires. He loved them #ad


Truck takes on a whole new appearence with the large wheel openings filled up. We really needed to take before & after pictures. The 36" tire compared to the 30" OE tire is incredible. It looks way too tall to ever fit.

Jeff (a TDR member) is thinking about a 2" leveling kit to be able to run them without problems. #ad


This is what I did. They haven't rubbed me the wrong way in 3 years. #ad

Nice trucks! I especially like the '94 (it looks a little more like my truck than the sport).

How are these tires holding up for you? If I remember correctly they are only a C rated tire and this would concern me. Did/Have you had any probelms running these on the stock 6. 5" stock Dodge wheel?

I sure do like the way they look on the truck.

Bill, I'm sure glad you posted a picture of your good looking truck again!! I could not remember where to find those traction bars at. Could you post one more time where you got them? Thanks, Pete

Cooker,

The tread wear is minimal. I don't tow or haul. Yes, they are only a load range C.
The traction in snow & rain is great. Tire tread noise is minimal to nothing. I rotate the tires on a regular basis. I don't run the max pressure in the rears. They will crown in the middle, because the tires could really use a little wider wheel. Front's won't crown at all (engine weight) at any pressure.

I have had them for 3 years now and am perfectly happy. The tires have passed the panic stop & fast corner test. #ad


IMO, This is a tire for a non towing or lightly loaded truck.

Pete, Thanks for the compliment. I hope guys don't think I'm 'tooting my own horn' by posting the piciture of my truck. Its just meant to be a side view of the 36" tires on an unlifted Ram. #ad


I'm almost positive the Dodge Ram in the old BD engine brake adveritsements was running the Coyote 36" tires. The tread pattern and sidewall height look identical to mine. See below: #ad
