I have a 3.7 XLT that is stock and I want to get bigger tires soon. I was looking at the duratrac at 295/65/18. I know my truck will move the tires but will i see a huge drop in power because of it being a v6 and not having the power of the 5.0 or eco boost. I do plan on getting a CAI and tune but that wont be for awhile.

Thanks

I have a 2010 5.4L which only has 315hp and 365ft-lbs. and 3.55 axle ratio. I just went from stock 31.9" to 275/65R20 which is 34.1" and the change in acceleration is negligible at best. I wouldn't worry about it. especially since the Duratrac is a relatively light tire. I think you'll be fine.

Big tire for a n/a v6. Why so big?

The question should be : why not a bigger tire than that ? Lol, just kidding!!!

Well I wanted 275/70/18 which isn't as wide but I want after market rims. every rim I like is 18x9 and 275/70/18 are recommended for 8.5" rims. So this was the next size up that will work for a 18x9 rim

Well it will definately look good. But the performance and gas mileage might not be worth it

you will probly want taller gears with huge tires on a v6

I'm with curt - bigger tire needs bigger gears 3.55 is a tad low 3.73's or 4.10s...

I'm running 35's on 3.73s... me want more! more as in more lift, more tire, more gear (do i smell a turbo??) ; )
