New Hemi QC 4x4 20's - 5/30/2004 10:48:19 PM    Viper_iii Posts: 15 Joined: 5/30/2004 Status: offline I am having a really hard time finding a reasonable tire price for a more aggresive tire that will fit these darn 20's. Anyone find a reasonable tire and the exact size? I had a few guys tell me that the 36x13.5R20 should fit but here is the place to ask.. Let me know! Much Appreciated! Post #: 1

I to have the same rims, and those crap stock rubber, and have been looking for replacements. What are you planning on doign with the truck? is it lifted? ive got a 1500, and im pretty sure a 36 wont fit, the stock rim/rubber sits around 32". They'res a few otpions out there from a BFG Allterain, and i imagine the mud terrain soon, MIckey thompson is starting to make theyre rims in a 20" so im gonna guess the Claw will be availble soon also. Toyo Open country looks not to shabby, http://www.toyocanada.com/products/OpenCountryMT.html . Those are in a 35. If your looking for a direct replacement, then all i could find were a few Falken, our lovely goodyear's and The Michelin LTX, which ill be replacing mine with, if i dont get my lift in by the time i have to buy new tires. Hope i helped, and watch my spelling.. i know.. i suck.

I've driven on Coopers for years and have always found them to be great tires. Here's a link: http://www.coopertires.com/us/en/default.asp Equal to Cooper, and made by Cooper, are Mastercraft Tires. They are many times priced a bit lower.

I use a truck for a truck. I want to get it muddy, I want to pull my friends less "manly" trucks out of the snow so I want tires that will help me do this. The options for MT tires on 20's are slim, and when you do find them they are super expensive. 17 inch rims carry the best selection for tires (at least for what I was looking at) so if your really into your ties maybe this is a better option. Maybe... _____________________________ 2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab SLT 1500 Hemi 4x4 17 inch chrome rims 33x12.5 MT tires Chrome nerf bars (in reply to mazz) Post #: 5

I drive mostly on the street, and they work better there than the 17's, not to mention looking a lot better. If you want to sling mud, all you need to do is buy a set of M/T tires from a place like Tirerack.com with a set of smaller wheels. Better yet, there are more than a few places to find used OEM 17's cheap since lots of people upgrade to larger wheels. I would bet that a set of off road tires on cheap 17" wheels will cost about the same as the 20" tires alone do! Point is, it's a lot easier to buy a set of 17" wheels with tires than a set of 20" wheels. (in reply to brderj) Post #: 6

The limited selection of tires and cost of the 20's was enough to turn me away. The 17's were, in my mind, the better choice for these reasons plus the fact that they are the lighter set-up and more sidewall provides a better ride. (in reply to B12Teuton) Post #: 7

Yes I should have gone with the 17's I realize my mistake now.... However I dont' want to go and now buy a new set of 17's I'm too pissed that I see plenty of Off-Road trucks with 20's and have agressive tred like the super-swampers on their 20's... However I did see some Irok's for about 180 ea for Bias and 230 each for Radial.. Figure Radial is the way to go but again I need to look at the toyo and cooper links above. Yeah I need to lift it to get the 36's to fit cleanly and I"m not sure if a simple 4" rancho for dodge will do it or not. or maybe just a cheap 4" body lift will give me the clearance I need. I appreciate the links... If you can shoot me some good links on affordable clean lifts I'd appreciate it too!!! _____________________________ Ram it, Don't Stroke it!

It came with 17's but I went to discount tire co. and bought 20x10 inch rims with Goodyear Wranglers 275/60 r20 for 152 a tire! It raised my truck 3 inches and I love them- Taller and wider Where do you live? I got my stuff in Dallas and I can send you to this guy who would match the tire price. Or I could Sell ya my stock rims. Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) < Message edited by DallasRam -- 6/1/2004 11:36:28 AM > _____________________________ 2003 Dodge Ram 4x4 Reg.

Would've been even more if changed the wheels... Looked really good for one Week until July 30 when I put it into 4x4... It blew my front differential up!

RE: New Hemi QC 4x4 20's - 8/25/2005 1:34:04 PM    Viper_iii Posts: 15 Joined: 5/30/2004 Status: offline Unfortunately either the lift failed and blew it up or manufacturer parts failed and caused the damage... paid almost 2k for the lift w/ softride and another ~500 for installation. Extremely Tough and sturdy fabrication. One bracket seems to be the culprit however it is still unknown what is the true cause of the failure... http://4x4offroad.ods.org/modules.php?set_albumName=cogsdamage&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php there is the link to all the pics... Another fun link that might show the cause is here...Lift Kit Problem _____________________________ Ram it, Don't Stroke it! (in reply to cwoods) Post #: 12
