The 265 Rugged Trails are E rated, but the same weight rating as the TA 285's at 3195. So far I am really happy with them. Make sure you keep the air pressure up to at least 60 though, or they will look a little squatty and rob your fuel mileage.

I also added the PW fender flares, and they look awesome. Kinda pricey, but nice addition. I got mine from the local dealer after we haggled a little on the price. You should be able to get 10 percent off or so, at least.

I have them on my truck too. I also like them alot.

I agree with everything you say above.

So what is the best place to find a set? Would I be able to go into a Dodge/Chrysler dealership and get a set of takeoffs? I really do like the PW wheels better than my stock wheels and will buy a set if I can find them. As long as they don't cost more than a set of namebrand aftermarket wheels. Plus I know I wouldn't have any problems with backspacing. :)

Yep, D everywhere I say em. D'zilla they will look great on your truck. White Lightning... that is one nice truck for going to the woods. [coffee] ks

Picked them up this afternoon and they are sweet!!!! Just like that picture I posted. Plus the tires look like they haven't been driven on.
I delivered my rims to Charlottesville, Va which is 144 miles away then drove to North of Baltimore to pick the PW rims up. Man! I put 500 miles on the truck today. It's a shame that I now have a full set of polished alloys w/ tires that I don't need anymore...... [whistle]

Of course I'll post pics tomorrow once they are on........

I already have flares too. They are ATS but mine stick out further than the PW Flares


DZ, I stand corrected. I guess they do offer a 285/70/17 tire in the Rugged Trails. But looking at the link you posted from Tire Rack....they must be "C" rated or something due to the 35 psi max pressure and 2800ish lb load rating. Those must be for 1/2 tons, im guessing. I just remember when I was looking for tires, I wanted to replace my Rugged Trails with the same but bigger tire and there were no options at the time.....so therefore went the BFG AT 285's KOs.

Anyway, I love mine and I am sure you are going to love them too!

I am looking forward to seeing your new pics!

Also, I like your ATS flares too. I have just seen the Power Wagons up close, and like the look, so I decided to go that route with my flares. Both look great.

Wow, I've never seen BFG Rugged Trail 285/70/17. Those wouldn't be alright for a 3/4 ton? My dad runs 2400lb. rated tires on his Superduty and they seem to do just fine.

I think those Rugged Trails are for Toyotas or Nissans. I wouldn't trust them on one of these trucks with a load on it. I saw a cheap set on E-bay a while back and I almost bought them until I looked them up on tirerack.com...

Dodgezilla 12-18-2005 11:32 AM

Wheels are on and pics waiting for admin approval. These rims have wider spokes than the standard alloys and it looks like they have at least .5" less backspacing also. They stick out about .5" more than the standard alloys...
