the GMC 4500/5500 4x4 with 245/70r19.5's had less ground clearence than the ford with the 225/70r19.5's I'll be running 245/70R19.5 or 265/70R19.5 on the ford chassie for ground clearence and floatation the size depend's who has the more agressive tread. . . No not G124's either. . .Hankook: super traction: DHO1's are more my style. . .the 9R22.5 would be in a high way drive tire at best, Goodyear G124's or the tha firestone FDS456 or somthing like that Now find some super traction's such as
Firestone T-831's or Goodyear G-177's or Hankook DH01's than i'll go for it. . .
i want a tight compact body and chassie high clearence at the bottom with out a mile of empty wheel well. . . i want the top of tire to fender clearence fairly tight with the bottom of punking to ground fairly high Trust me i'ma GM guy but the ford has the dually 4x4 chassie i'm looking for and dodge had power plant. . .
I i want it geared medium heavy as it is going to apear as a 60's GMC truck. . .so i realy would like keep the R's up in the 2400-2600 zone on the interstate then it ain't lugging or working hard in town at slow speed's. . .
truck won't see high speed's such as 68-72mph for any more than 60 miles one way maybe as many as 5 time's a year. . .
So it ain't like i'm holding it in the red zone day after day. . . I'll run extra heavy oil in it. . .20w-50 or SAE 60 diesel oil. . .
Mike. . .
