Michelin Defenders LTX M/S Fit Question

[jamesjohn94]

Hi there - first post here and first time Ram owner.

I have a 2019 1500 North Edition - stock tires are 275x55x20's. Putting new set of shoes on... I'm set on Michelin Defender LTX M/S, but between two sizes.

Will 275x65's fit with the truck stock the way it is? North Edition has a standard 1" lift.
Or do I need to step down to 265x60's ?

Costco, being conservative, said they won't put 275x65's on but reading a few threads here seems they'll fit without issue... would appreciate y'alls insight !

Thanks,

JJ

I just put 275/60's on after ditching the duelers- No issue, everything I read said you need 2+" of lift to clear the 275/65's

I think 275/65 will fit just fine, especially since you have the 1” lift built in. I recently went with Nitto Recons, 285/60r20 and I don’t have the off road package. Details here:
