I'm in need of new tires and my 92 f350 tires are in need of replacement. Currently I have 33x12.5x16.5 bfg at and 4.10 ratio. These tires are far a few nowadays. I would like to stick with bfg's and I really don't want to fork out $ for new rims. I've got a regular 5x8 trailer and will eventually upgrade to a toy hauler in a year or two.

Anybody out there tow trailers with 35 inch tires?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

I would say that you're going to need to get some gears. Probably up a size. Looks like a 4.56:1 if it will fit.

I'm pulling my 30' TH with my Dodge CTD. I have 35" tires and 4.10 gears. No sweat.
But it is a diesel, with a chip upgrade. I'm pushing about 400hp and 725 ft/lbs torque.
If nothing else, get rid of the 16.5" wheels. The bead doesn't lock in those, so you can't air them down as much.

 

I've been running 35s on my 2002 F250 (V10) since new. No problems pulling trailer (1400 lbs) with ATVs (2 Polaris Sportsman - 1500+ with extra junk) or cars (2600-4000 lbs) on the trailer for a combine weight of 2900 to 5400 pounds.

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

 

I'll be doing it with 37's starting next week!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Hey Diirk what size and type wheels and tires are you running and what lift do you have? Your truck looks sweet!!

 

Can i tow with my 49"s????[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]











shiiit id need a trailer just to get those mamoths home.

 

Hey LTZevil....
Thanks. I wish I could run 37's, but I'd have to worry about rubbing. I have a 5.5" Fabtech Lift with Eagle Alloy Series 172 in 18x9 with LT325/65R18 Toyo Open Country A/T tires. The shocks are being upgraded to the new Fabtech Dirt Logic 2.5's with res.

 

I have 35's on my 03 HO Auto Cummins w/ 393 or 39something gears and tow a 23ft Weekend Warrior weighing 7400lbs loaded w/ everything. I live out west where flat ground is non existant. I get 10mpg doing 75-80. I want to get where I'm going so I don't baby the pedal and worry about an extra one or two mpg..

 

I'm affraid I may rub. I'm doing 355/65/18 with Eagle 064 18x10 and a ProComp 5.5 with Bilstien 5100 shocks. My tire guy and my lift guy both say they don't think they'll rub but I don't believe them. Hopefully they'll be right.....
