Ordering a 2013 3500 SRW 4x4 Aisin to replace my 2012.

Looking at the option list, I did not see an "E" rated A/T option for either 18" or 20" wheel tire combination.

Am I right to assume the truck comes standard with 265 60 18 tires? If so, are they "E" rated A/T or street tires? Shopping around, I could not find an A/T "E" rated tire in that size.

If I select the 20" wheel option, assume the tire is a 285 55 20. Same question is it an "E" rated A/T or street tire? I know Michelin makes an LTX A/T in that size.

On the ranch I prefer an 18" wheel and tire for sidewall protection. I go through tires very fast here in our back country.

Running a street or all season tire on the ranch is not a good idea. Until I understand this better, I may hold up on my order.

Here's the wheel/tire options on the '13 3500.


LT275/70R18E ALL-SEASON BSW TIRES (STD) - SRW
LT285/60R20E ON-/OFF-ROAD OWL TIRES - SRW
LT235/80R17E ON-/OFF-ROAD OWL TIRES - DRW - (REQ: ALW Popular Equipment Group)
LT235/80R17E ALL-SEASON BSW TIRES - DRW


Hope that helps!

BTW, I wanted a 3500, but I don't really need one and because the new 2500 still comes with 17" wheels, I still trying to trying to figure out which way I want to go.

BF Goodrich makes E rated tires both on-road and A/T in 18" and 20"...

Thanks guys for lining me out. I had the size wrong on the 20" and missed the Goodrichs'

Dae are the LT285/60R20E ON-/OFF-ROAD OWL TIRES for the SRW standard on the 3500 or are they an option. If an option do you know the option code?

If standard I may go the 20" route depending on 17" tire manufacturer.

Thanks again.

If standard I'll go the 20" route. They sure are proud of them.

Thanks again.

I got the info from this page... Research Features 2013 Ram 3500 - Gazette.Net Autos

look on the Customer info tab.. Most of the codes aren't listed...

BTW, 18" X 8" CHROME-CLAD STEEL WHEELS is Standard on the SRW. As for tires, On/Offroad tires have always been an option.

Standard on the 3500 is LT 275/70r18E BSW all season tires. Well that is the standard tire for 3500 mega cab Laramie 4 x 4

It would be nice if Ram would release photos of trucks with the new wheel combos.

Hopefully the 20's wont be hideous like the OEM 20's the current fords are rolling on. Dodge has a track record of subtle wheel designs, hopefully they continue it.

You would think on a 3500 4x4 All Terrains would be standard equipment for either wheel size.

anyone have photos of the new wheels?
