    I don't think new tires will help, unless there 44's or48's rotfl

    Not bad now, snow packed down or plowed but it will be around for a while.

    Whats your plans Steve? I know you are wanting 315's, are you going to do it?

    I just found a set of used 33x12.50 Cooper Discoverer LT's on Weld 16.5x9.75"'s in the classifieds and am loving them on my Ram. Better traction is nice!

    Obviously you would need at least a leveling kit to clear the 315's right? Would that effect your warranty?

    Wouldn't need a level kit if I keep the stock rims or rims close to OEM back space, they may rub a little on full turn but nothing major.

    4054x4 was out here for the storm and he got around great on his 315 BFGs. The only other truck gettin around our neigborhood was another cummins w/ Chains all the way around. Tires and ground clearance make all the differance in the world

    Got 315 BFG ATs on mine and the only thing they rub is the guys with stock tires!rotfl

    So far no rubs, or slight enough not to be noticed, but darned sexy, for sure.

    Yeah I have 315 BFG's (which do rub on the trac bars at full turn). I drove around in the blizzard that ColoradoK5 was refering to and i had no issues getting around. The only time i had to chain up was when I was pulling a duramax up a hill :stir:
