O.T.- Re: Dodge Durango - Max Tire Size with stock wheels?

From : howard eisenhauer

Q: fwiw i run 31x10.5 bfg all terain ats on my 4wd durango. this is actually the stock tire size but for some reason they look big lottsa favorable comments on them. you can sorta see what they look like here- http//www.tantel.ca/images/tonka/trailer%20crane1.jpg true story time last year we had a storm that dropped well over a foot of snow in the driveway. i go out & start up truck. nosy neighbours say ill never get through that without shoveling . well it takes a few trys but i get the truck moving & up the hill to the road. neighbours are frickin amazed . many comments on the great tires. then i notice i had the thing in 2wd o. these are seriously good tires.. only down side is you wont get a lot of road mileage out of them & they start getting noisy when theyve worn down a bit . i do know you cant go much bigger than these without serious sheet metal work but id suggest having a look here- http//www.dodgetalk.com/forums/archive/index.php/f-184.html & here- http//www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/f140/ for people more knowledgeable of what can & cant be done does the 2wd have torsion bar front suspension if so a 2 lift will cost you the astounding sum of 50 bucks details contained somewheres in the aforementioned sites. have fun h. http//users.eastlink.ca/howarde/tonka.html on 22 feb 2006 090836 -0800 lambeth65@earthlink.net wrote ive got an 02 dodge durango 4x2 used 99% on-road as my daily driver. the original tires are shot and needing replaced. i like the look of slightly larger beefier tires but considering the primarily street usage of this vehicle and its lack of 4wd i dont want to go to all the effort and expense i spent when i converted my jeep from 30 tires to 35. that project involved lifting the suspension regearing recalibrating the spedometer and putting in a chevy 8-cyl engine to push the bigger tires. ;- so my question is this what are the largest tires i can put on my durango using the stock wheels and suspension and without modifying anythting other than just buying a new set of tires .
