My kids have told me truck needs bigger tires. I have 17 rims with a 255/75-17. Looking at the truck it could use larger tire. I don't want to go to extremes but a wider and taller tire would make it look better.




So My tire is 31 inches tall, with a width of 10 inch's.


Truck is not lifted. I do tow 10-12 k pound trailers. If I can keep my rims all the better.


So what can I get away with.


Thanks for your input.

 

Are you sure it is 31 and not 32 inches tall? You could have 245/75/17 and those are shorter at 31.5" and I could understand the want to go larger? I don't see a 255/75/17 as an option, but then again you didn't put ALL of your trucks information in your signature.


Like 250/350 4WD or 2WD?

OEM there is a 275/65/18 that is 32.1" fr an XLT and my stock tires on the truck in my signature are on 20" rims and 32.5" tall. So assuming you are a 4WD F350 SRW, you could go up to at least 32.5".

Of course I would have a local tire shop do it and make sure you don't rub.

 

The stock 275/65R20 tires are listed as 34.1 -34.4" depending on whose literature you read. So you should be able to go that tall. Just find a taller tire that will work with your stock rims width
