Cooper Discover S/T 35x12.5x17- Will they fit a 2004 SRW?

[Cryotek]

ANybody have this big of tire on a stock 3500 SRW 4x4? If so, any clearance problems?



What size will fit without interference?

From my research... a 2" leveling kit is all thats needed for 35" tires... BJ

After having a Cooper with 30,000 miles separate (left front) and do over $2,000 damage I went back to Michelin. More money but the tires are round and require very little wheel weights. Read the J. D. Pawers report they did on over 500 tire stores in the Mid-west. They were looking for customer complaints of which they got plenty but none on Michelin. I got the J. D. Powers report off of the internet. Maybe it would be in Goggle. The fact that they are made in France is OK with me. The French never shot at me and the Japanese did. Tires put on at the factory are "D" rated, I use "E" rated (10 ply) I have 260x75R 16's on aluminum wheels with 2" offset so I have fender flares and the truck looks great, at least in my opinion. That's what this site is all about, getting good info. The TDR Register is great. Were it not for an article in TDR I would have never found the answer to my steering wandering problem.

35-12. 50/17 fits, but mine rub on the control arm with a sharp right or left turn. Stock wheels and leveled suspension.

Ran exactly the same with stock suspension.

This is not really an answer to your question, but if you are looking into 35x12. 50r17s you might want to look at the new Hankook MTs - they come in an E load range which is what came on your truck (I have had no DW issues since running Es). They look good on the truck, and in my set one tire took 10oz. to balance, the others all less.
