I have some questions about new tires. I have 2006 Dodge Quad cab 2500 5.9 cummins 4x4.
I currently have Goodyear Silent Armour tires and want to get another set. My current tires have 97k miles, and prob still have another 20k left. I do about 90% hwy driving with empty load.
Here's my questions:
1. I would like a slightly larger tire (have 265 now). Either 275 or 285. Will I get better or worse MPG? Im currently getting about 24.5 on hwy at 70mph.
2. I noticed Goodyear Silent Armours dont come in E rated at sizes 275 or 285. Will I see an increase in wear as compared to my current E rated tires? I belive the 275 and 285 come in C and D rated.
3. If I get a larger tire, how do I adjust the speedometer to read my correct speed? I dont have any chips and dont really want any either...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
