I have a '01 1500 4x4 quad cab with off road package with about 45K on the truck. I bought it used last year and it has Cooper discovery a/t LT265/70R17 tires that are about worn out. I am looking at new tires (any suggestions) that are good on 99.99% pavement (dry, wet and snow) but very little offroad.
It seems that the original tires on this truck were 275/70R17. If I go with this size for my new tires, will the truck sit up any higher or are the tires just wider? I don't want it any hihger...it is already a pain to get into (otherwise I love the truck).
Also, this truck appears to have ABS (according to dashboard light) but it certainly does not stop like it has ABS (don't get the ABS sound and pumping like other ABS cars I have driven). Is the ABS on rear tires only? This truck does not stop very well in snow (unlike my old Subaru) but the front worn tires may have something to do with it....
Thanks, BorninPA
