Could someone tell me the difference (again),1999 to 2000? I've got a 99 with the 215's,going to install the 235's,just making sure before I drop the bucks,Thanks,Dave.

I have 235's on my 3500; 98. 5. Plenty of clearance and space between tires. I used Bridgestone's. Great tire but they sing slightly.

Well I did it,the 235's should be on my truck by this weekend. Do the larger tires actually have any negative affect other than the speedometer being off?( ABS or cruise control?)How much will the speedometer be off,city & highway? Thanks for the replies,Dave.

Wish I'd seen this sooner...

I will be going back to 215's on my next set of tires. I would like to drop my rear air pressure to the 45 psi the manual says I can for ride quality but they start to hit (on bumps) alot around 65 psi.



My milage dropped slightly (1 1/2 mpg) when I switched. Yes, I did the speedometer correction.

I did'nt think of it till today,I have an auto w/4:10's. I also have DTT's VB & TC. By tomorrow at this time, I'll have my 235's on,Dave.
