Subject: 20" tire question
IP: Logged

Message:
I'm planning on purchasing 20x9" MKW 14's. I can go with either a 275/45R20 or a 285/50R20(both are GoodYear Eagle GT II). It's packaged price so those are my only two options. Right now i have a 2001 dakota sport with the upgraded tire package (i believe they are 255/65-15). I was wondering what which of the new tires will give me the best road savvy without the rub? I may also in the future lower it 2/3 or 3/5. will this be a problem? Also will there be a difference in my speedometer reading? Thank you very much

If you have the tire and handling group you have a 255/65/16 which is 29" tall. The 275/45/20's are 29.7" tall and the 285/50/20's are 31.2" tall.

If your Dak is a stock height 4x2 you should be OK with the 275/45/20's. Your speedo will read about 2.4% low without adjustment. A better choice would be either 255/45/20 or 275/40/20.

Unlees you are lifted the 285/50/20's are too big.

If your lowered the 275/45/20 may not work it just depends.
