drozz Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hey All, Thought I'd post this as an FYI to anyone who maybe looking for new tires. I went to my local costco looking to replace the Kumho tires that came on my 2011 crew as they are almost worn right out. Costco like many other places don't carry the 225/55/19 tires. They put my journey into the system and it reported back a set of Michelins at 235/55/19 would fit onto the truck. They ordered them in, put them on, they looked nice, but when i tried to pull away, i heard a rubbing noise coming from the front of the truck. When we checked, the replacement tire was rubbing on a metal plate that is under the front suspension spring. it was sitting right on it, no give at all. they had to put my old tires back on, and i went to my dealer and they have a set of good year tires that are 225/55/19 that will be installed this weekend.

onecrazyfoo4u Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 That's wierd, many people have reported that the dodge recommended 235/55/19 size fits just fine. Are you positive they tried that correct size tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1276 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yup I looked on the side wall of the new tire. The steel plate was right on top of the tire. I noticed that steel plate also. Mine is as i calculate is an inch higher than the tire might be bigger but 100% sure it wont be bigger than 2 inches! I dont know anything about tires but i question myself how do they msnage to install bigger wheels with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
