    Tires for the Ram D100

    My Ram D 100 calls for 195 - 75 - 15
    For now I have 235 75 15 from original owner
    (and they need replacement)



    Wile I like the larger size for what it offers , the larger in diameter tire does cause a taller gear ratio . The slants are a bit edgy in the power curve .
    I feel the 235's enhance that edgy quality .

    I suspect the factory recommendation 195 - 75 - 15 is the way to go with the slant 6
    The smaller size tire will offer lower gearing ,
    so gear choice is less sensitive to avoid some lugging of motor .

    I could go 205 or 225 as a compromise
    An advantage to using the factory size tire is it will lower truck down by 2 or so inches
    & for loading a heavy fridge , washer and stuff like that
    as I tip in and leverage it in
    any lowering of inches of a tail gate will only help

    Any one have any first hand experience with this situation

    Copper Head and CopperHeadAKA (same person)
    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
