Tires: Dodge Ram 2500, dodge ram 2500, clerance


Question
Greetings Barry, I have a truck RAM 2500 4WD with LT 265/50/R17, heavy duty. I love my truck but, it is a bit to tall for the parking lot at my job. I have almost no clerance....so could it be possible to buy some smaller tires maybe the kind that the low riders use??? maybe a bit wider than the standard....I have a 25 footer boat and it weights about 5000 pounds...would this change create a problem while towing my boat.

Thank you.

Answer
Julio,

You don't have much choices here.  If you use a tire small enough to gain some real clearance, you can't tow the boat and you consume more fuel.

You don't want to do what low riders do - use tires way too small and just change them before they fail!

Sorry!!
