Let me start off by saying I thought I was buying Nitto Ridgegrappler LTs from the dealership when I bought my truck.
What they ordered me were 305/55/20 116q rated tires which look to be 4ply B rated tires.
I knew I was going to get aftermarket wheels and tires on this truck so I figured I might as well wrap them into financing. Went to the accessories dept and picked out the wheel/tire combo I liked best. Which were 35” Ridgegrapplers with XD828 wheels.
The parts guy told me that setup wouldn’t fit on the truck without a 6in Lift due to the offset of the wheels. And asked me if I was ok with 33” and I said sure that’s fine.
Well I assumed he was ordering the same wheel in a 33” version. But come to find out that these are not LT tires.
I tow a travel trailer with a GVWR of 7,000 pounds. It’s dry weight is only 4,500# so it’s probly closer to 6,000lb with a 6-700# tongue weight.
I tow this trailer with my family on board and don’t want my tires to compromise our safety, or the trucks handling with the trailer.
What should I do about this? It kinda tics me off that the dealership just ordered me whatever they wanted to without confirming with me. At the same time I feel like it was my fault for not double checking what they ordered.
