Which is terrible for that size tire...part of the reason I only went with a 285x70x7 on a stock wheel...still needed a spacer but I would never stick a 12 5" wide tire on a 6 in wide wheel and tow.
That’s good news as the RT trails seem to be better in the wet over than the RTs I had. Love the look better too
From my very short journey learning about Rams and lifts and all this stuff. I believe the Carli system does not alter the function (legal payload / tow) of the vehicle. In regards to tires, the general opinion is the 37x12.50 tires are just fine on the stock rims. Within the OPTIMAL range....no. However, acceptable without altering the trucks capabilities seems to be the general rule of thumb for this mixture of wheel and tire. I don't have a leg to stand on in regards to knowledge nor personal experience, just sharing what my research has taught me. My buddy drives a 19 with 35x12.50 tires on stock rims, and he tows and tows and tows. Not one complaint from him after 96k miles. That's why I didn't feel it's a safety risk.
slightly embarrassed to admit this, but I just told the lady we'd take the warranty, and rolled on. The paperwork isn't in front of me or i'd look and share. This was more of a "get it before xmas" type thing. I didn't pay attention to a lot of the details.
If my engine blows or leaks and they blame a shock, I won’t lose that battle. I may not have as many lawyers as they do, but I have a few. And we’ll keep them busy and public enough that we’ll have it all dolled up in our favor.
RAM sell HDs lifted much higher then the OP is going and are covered by the MFG warrant. It would be pretty hard to prove….I asked my service manager specifically when I was lifting my truck if there would be an issue and he said anything under 4” and they could care less.
If it's an aftermarket warranty and you want to cancel it, just ask to see the list of exclusions. Then after reviewing exclusions, just politely tell them you don't want it. Most of the high dollar high risk items are typically excluded, like emissions equipment. I've even seen gaskets excluded, which of course includes a head gasket job.
That’s because Ram is doing the work . some of these flyby night aftermarket companies are sketchy at best.
For what it's worth the SRW trucks have 8" wide wheels, while the DRW trucks are 6". Now, I realize that 2" isn't a lot (don't tell my wife that) but it makes a difference. I don't think it's a safety risk at all, just stating that there is a real difference between a 12.5" wide tire on a 6" wide wheel vs an 8" wide wheel.
