Got my 2022 Ram 4x4 Crew (no air suspension, no OFG) in October . Running the stock Nexen Roadian htx all winter and let me tell you I'm glad we didn't get much snow here in the North East this year. These tires don't hookup in any kind of wet. I had put Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws (275/60r20) on my 2019 Ram and they were great all around tire with only the slightest rubbing at full turn in reverse. This truck seems to have more room in the wheel well vs my older one. Think going up to the 275/65r20 will be an issue. Yes it's 1 inch taller (34 vs 33) but it's a narrower tire at 10.6 vs 10.8in. Anyone running these on stock suspension?

All 275 tires are the same width, 10.8". 55 series, are 31.9" tall. 60 series are 33" tall. 65 series are 34.1" tall. Even the 22s offered as an option are only 32.1" tall, but 11.2" wide. Tiresize.com gives all tire size comparisons. It would probably depend on your wheel offset, to effect clearance. If your last ones had the same offset, a one inch taller tire will rub more.

While this may be true of overall dimensions, I've found that actual tread width will vary from the stated general tire width.

This is true. The "275" in his example is the section width, not the tread width.

Just got my tires, low speed no rubbing so far (even turned all the way).
