Just got a "used" 2019 Ram 1500 limited with only 7k miles.
Started putting on the basics
Ceramic window tint
K&N cold air intake
Revel Links ( just the front )
Waiting/ Deciding on Pulsar Tuner and exhaust
Also trying to figure out what tire to put on her.

Congrats! If you do go for a tire that's taller but narrower than a 33x12.5, then you'll be getting an LT tire. They are pretty heavy and drop mileage by ~2-3mpg. Just something to consider. I spent weeks looking for a 285/50/22 and ended up with a surprisingly heavy tire, and mine is lighter than most.

Thanks and appreciate the feed back, to be clear your saying anything up to a 33/12.5 is fine but anything over will start cause mpg/speedo issues right? I have been looking at a 305 or 33

You will need speedometer calibration if you want your speed, mpg, and odometer reading correctly any time you change overall diameter of tires- but that’s not what I was referring to. I was talking about the miles per gallon drop you will see with an E-rated 33” tire. I just wanted to make you aware in case you didn’t know. The reason is a combination of higher rolling resistance (based on tread pattern and/or contact patch) and unsprung weight over the stock wheels and tires.
