Wheels and Winter Tires

[SDalgleish]

Having fun with my EcoDiesel. I installed a new set of replica Ram 1500 Sport wheels from OE Wheels size 20"x 9" beautifully finished in show quality chrome. For winter traction I opted to go with a set of Cooper Discoverer A/TW size 275/60/20. They have the severe weather rating. Their traction be it water, ice or snow is amazing. I love the look and how they handle. View attachment 101419

If you keep it long enough, try Toyo Observe winter tires. They are fantastic. No more Blizzaks or studded tires for me. They are impressive on pure ice, which we have a lot of this winter.

Btw Scott, thanks for the write up on Duraflaps. I installed a complete set all the way around on my 95 and they look great.

Looking sharp Scott. I just installed a DeeZee tailgate assist to keep the kids from slamming the tailgate down. I used a metric flange/lock nut instead of nutsert as they come loose.

Thanks Don! I like the Cooper tire in that it's weight is approximately the same as the OEM tire (42lbs.) and I have not seen any change in my fuel economy. Still getting 25-26 mpg.

Thank you! I have the same on my 98' tail gate as well. Great product.
