19.5 on DRW?s

tmshoer · 06-15-2009, 10:33 PM

I want to get a set of 19.5s for my DRW, but my truck can't be any higher or my 32' gooseneck trailer will hit my bed if I go over any small hills. I know, I need a new trailer, but that is not going to happen any time soon, so is there any tire to put on a set of 19.5s that will not change the stock height of my truck?

Retreaded and regrooveable are to different things.

What's the difference, is one better or more reliable?

Retread is where they fuse a new tread to the old tire. Regrove is where they use a tool to add depth to the worn out grooves. Commercial tires are thick and allow for regrooving. A retread will last longer but it is also more expensive, and there is the small risk the tread could seperate and destroy a fender. A regroove is cheaper and will not last as long but still alot longer than regular tires. Plus no chance of a tread seperation.

So that 225/70/19.5 can only be retreaded? any ideas about the amount of miles you can out these?

i've run the 225/70-19.5 tires on a work truck (f450 4x4) and get at least 100k out of the tires. that includes about 10k of gravel and rock roads.
