235/80R17 or 245/75R17

[Stay.Loaded19]

It’s time to get new boots so curious on which route to go. The 235s are OEM but I kinda want to go a little wider but the 245s are a tad bit shorter. I tow heavy 90% of the time so what do you guys think?

What's the stock size? I'm not one for mods like that because they look cool. Looking cool tends to bite you in the arse later. That and they HAVE to be load range E. This isn't a 1500 which is kinda like nobody cares

Not looking for the “cool” factor just wanting more contact on the floor. And yes 3500s are 10ply

Forgive me. I see this stuff all the time.

Your response was level headed. Thanks. I thought the tire size on the 3500 was larger?

What's the height diff between the two sizes and stock, if different? I gather you're asking about the width clearance.

I'm not a big one for lifts either. Whenever anyone posts about a lift, the forum runs and hides. LOL Allota arses have been burned with lifts.

Ha ha no worries brother. The 265s are and an inch wider than stock. The 245s are about half an inch wider and surprisingly they are both a little shorter than stock

That makes no sense at all. How a tar 2 sizes smaller and 10% wider is almost the same height.

I'm assumeing you have a dually if 235/80r17 is factory. You are right with 235s being taller than a 245/75r17 but a little skinner. If you have a dually than 265s will rub if you have no spacer between the rears. But are very close in hight to the 235s but about an inch wider. I hope this helps some.

Good point. I didn't think dually. But I'm better with the 3rd gens anyway. That's why I always want all the info on the truck in the first question. Shame on me for assuming.

I am a tire guy worked in a tire shop for several years and now I work in a tire mold plant all for goodyear. Tire sizesand tread patterns have always interested me. I am a little strange I know. And 235/80r17 has alwsys been 3rd and 4th gen dually size. Also no shame I also am assuming with his question.
