Will 305/70 R16's fit on our trucks without hitting?

[ehenry]

I am in need of new tires and would like to get new tires.



I am looking at the Terragripers 305 70 R16 Load Range E -- will these fit without hitting --- 2001 Dodge Ram Diesel 2500 Pickup





Tires I have now are the original Michelen 265 75/16's any help would be appreciated





thanks

from what i have read, a 305/70 "may" rub on the control arm at full lock of the steering. same with a 315/75 as they are about the same width. I have had no trouble running 285/75/16 (same height as a 305/70, just not as wide). Some have run 305's and 315's and claim no rubbing. Either way, the rub isn't bad and lots of guys run up to 315's on stock trucks.

305's

What load range are your 285 75 R16's -- I am reluctant to go from load rangeE to load Range D

the 265's that came on the truck are load rating E,,,, thats they way they all come

ehenry, I haven't had luck finding load range E's in 285's but check around. Mine are load range D's

Super swamper makes a 285 in a load range E. I think there called TRUXS.

285/75/16 tire all run around 3400 lb load rating as letter D.

They are wider but will not take air pressures as high as the letter E tires.
