Tires 305/65/R17
Hi, I currently have about 60,000 miles on the stock BFGoodrich tires and it's about time for some new ones. Does anyone know if the BFGoodrich all-terrain T/A size 305/65R17 will fit?? I have a stock 2006 ram 3500 4x4.http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/overv...t-a-ko/44.html

Will they fit 2wd?
Does any one know if the 305's will rub on a 2WD?
Currently running the typical BFG AT 285/70/17's and at full lock the sidewall is pretty close to the controll arm.

I wanted to get the 305s when I upgraded, since they're an E rated tire, but the high price (an extra $60 + per tire) kept me away.
If anyone finds a good deal on them let us all know! Thanks

The E-Rating is great but D-Rated tires work just fine on these trucks. I ran BFG 315s and 285s on my 03 and did a lot of towing and I never had an issue. I just picked up a set of 285s BFG ATs for my truck because I just can't get into the Mud Terrain tire feel. I guess I'm just getting too old. I'm gonna sell the ones on my truck which are at half tread.....

Not to counter my neighbor, Dodgezilla, I felt the D-rated tires were a little soft in the sidewalls and made for a bouncier ride (in my SRW CC Superduty).
Plus, if you're going to be towing anything with any weight...
Else, D-Rated tires work just fine.
