Flatbed tire size question?

I would stick with that size rim and just run a low profile tire. Roadmasters aren’t a bad tire at all, I ran a set of drives and had good wear. When they started cupping/feathering, I would just rotate them.

 

Yes I purchased a brand new RGN w/roadmasters on them earlier this year w/ 22.5's. Just run a 24.5 low profile. The 24.5 tall rubber has been extremely hard to find on my end, so I went with a lo pro 24.5 on the truck last month.

 

Call around for bandag caps

Btl-SA

get low pros, dont get talls, doesnt matter if its 24 or 22

Got a price of 311$ each from pomps in indy

Theyre a very good tread pattern for spread, probably the best, and are usually bridgestone/michelin casings

A pro to the shorter tire (22s) is that you get slightly more winch clearance.

They will run SLIGHTLY faster than 24s, thus building heat a fractional amount faster, thats relatively negligible though.

24s will roll over things better and be ever so slightly smoother.

And as i said before, get low pros no matter what, on a spread trailer, youll have tire scrub and thats no good for lifespan

 

I run H rated tall 24s on everything. Finding anything seems to be a challenge right now. Ground clearance is important when you leave paved surfaces. Also they ride better because you can run less PSI in them and I think they flat out look better too.

 

Keep the 24.5s…….that tire guy doesn’t know jack….
