19.5's
Just wondering if a SRW truck with the 19.5's would handle towing similar to a DRW? I see many of these companies offer the double sidewall 14 ply 19.5 tires, so id think they would be pretty decent in the rear, especially with a 245 70 series.
Any thoughts?
I wouldnt mind going this route rather than a full DRW conversion.

It is hard to replace the dependable stability of that second wheel, even with extra heavy tires.
It would definitely be better than a standard SRW set-up, but nowhere near as stable as duals.

I'll let you know on the ride...I've got a set of Vision Type 81 19.5" wheels, and a set of 285/70R19.5 Yokohama TY303's on the way. I won't be doing too much towing, but I will pull some farm machinery sometime or another, and I don't want to have any trouble! They shouldn't ride too terrible either, but they have a little more sidewall than a 245/70
I won't get them on there for a couple weeks yet...my lift coils are being custom made, and the tires won't fit without them

Hey BlackDiesel02....you by any chance getting that rock down around
Leslie???? I've had 14 ton delivered and gone back 3 times for 2 pallets
each from those folks at Sutterfield Stone Works. Two Pallets WILL make
the 2500 squat, even with an extra set of leafs.

I have 245/70 19.5, Toyo Mud & snow tires on SRW and I pull a 14,000 fiver with out any sway or problems. They are a little stiff when empty, so I keep the hitch in the truck and the tool boxes full and the 60 gallon RDS tank helps. I have had both DRW and SRW with 19.5 tires, I prefer the 19.5 on SRW, easier parking and the wife will drive it without running over curbs and things.
