Tire size decision-help

[BIRDMAN]

I'm stuck on what size tire size to go with...

325/60/20 or 275/65/20.

The 325s are about an inch taller and and a little wider than stock $415 each - 67lbs

The 275s are about the same height as stock and an inch skinnier. $290 each - 57lbs


See my dilemma? I'm gonna spend 450 more on the 325s, and they are alot heavier. The 275s seem good but are they too small?

You know what chicks say....

bigger is better?

I would imagine the 275s having a horrible driving experience on a truck like the Raptor. That's a lot of rubber real estate to give up on all four corners.

but...better rain and snow traction with a skinnier tire ?

It really depends on snow. There's different types of snow and how deep.

If the snow is soft and not too deep, I'd go with a skinnier tire so the tire can cut through the snow and touch the ground. If the snow is very deep and thick, wider tires to give you most surface area to float on top of the snow and maintain maximum traction

are you getting these as all around tires or snow/winter tires? if these are all around tires ild say get the cheaper ones, an save up an get some snow tires best of both worlds ....if thats affordable an a option other wise get the bigger ones imo

Yes...too small. The last thing I would do to my truck is put smaller tires on it.

Why dont you get some General Grabbers in 35x12.50 20? They are $370... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...=32846&counter=3&ar=1250&rd=20&sw=false&cs=35

Or some Nitto Trail Grapplers in 35x12.50 20? They are $387... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...=40569&counter=3&ar=1250&rd=20&sw=false&cs=35

IT depends on where you are driving the most. If it were me I would get the skinnier tires cause I drive on the road 95% of the time. They will fuel better...

Bird, what kind of tire are you going with?

If it was me I'd do the 325s just because I don't think the smaller tire would look right, but not having seen them I can't say for sure. I just feel like anything smaller than stock just might not look quite right.

I'm looking at Duratracs so I will run them all year
