Tire Size

I have a 2017 that has 275/55/20 tires on it. I just installed a levelling kit and would like to install some larger more aggressive tires, but something that won’t rub or throw off my speedometer to much. I do tow about 8000-9000 pounds with it. What is a good suggested size? Thanks.

Your tires are 32". How much of a level did you put on? You can go with 275/60/20 at 33", 305/55/20 at 33.5" or 275/65/20 at 34.1". None of those should rub. You will need to re-calibrate your speedometer though. All of those will fit your current factory wheels.

I was going to put in 1.5 inches but went with 2 inch to get it as level as I could. I think I’ll go with the 33 inch. I didn’t realize mine were 32 inch on it considering they are lower profile. I was hoping I would not have to touch the speedo because I also use winter rims and tires.

You can get by leaving the speedo alone with 33" tires, since the factory tend to have them run a little fast. With 33s you should be right on with a GPS check at 60 MPH.

i went 275/60's with a 2" level, and I tow a boat all summer myself. the size increase is visually noticeable, yet there's still enough space to "see" the improved aesthetics of the more aggressive tread i went with.

I leveled my 2015 by removing the rear blocks, Just now replaced the stock 275/55/20 with 275/60/20 the speedometer is close enough. My trip to cottage went from 170 miles to 167 miles. Trucks handling has improved a lot.
