For ultimate dry traction with handling, the BFG KD's are tops. They're only
avail. in 17" and up. For an R/T rim I'd use 275/40 in front and 285/40 in
back(lower than stock). For stock height 17's-Nitto, falken and yokohama
make "truck/suv" 275/50's. 275/60-15's fit good on the 15 X 8's and
everybody makes those(cheap too) plus you can also get drag radials. Almost
wish I had 15's so I could use drag radials, but then that would give me the
jitters in the high speed road racing.
