Bought some new tires today. 295-60R20 Ridge Grapplers. They fit fine but when I put it in areo mode manually they rub just a tad on a full turn. I will never be doing a full turn in aero mode so its all ok.

KJRam no ORP- after I got home I got a chance to really look into the rub area, for some reason its happens in reverse at full turn on one side only. Its like the plastic part of the wheel well was not formed correct. I am going to use a heat gun and fix it this weekend.

Thanks for the update. In aero mode or regular mode when in reverse?

How are the 295s on the road? I’m in between getting 295s or 285s. From past experience I’ve always thought 285s handled better, but I think 295s look better.

very very little road noise, Had a friend in the truck this weekend and he said it sure does ride smooth. I don't notice any handling difference, maybe a tad bouncier over bumps.

The reason I ask is because I’m in between getting the ridge grapplers in 295/60r20 or 285/60r20 on the Laramie stock 20 inch rim. I mean the 295 is barely taller than the 285 but I’m more worried about turning radius in a downtown parking garage. Truck isn’t leveled yet but I would like to.

Texas415 I have not noticed any turning radius issues. I had them put a 285 on one side and a 295 on the other and the 295 just filled out the wheel well better. The 295 adds right at 1” plus my wife likes them.

I think you’ve convinced me to go with the 295s. Really appreciate the feedback.
