Asked by Seamist51 Feb 08, 2016 at 10:05 AM about the 2009 Dodge RAM 1500 ST Quad Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was told that if I run a 35 inch tire on my 4 wheel drive 2009 Dodge 1500 it would tear up the transmission.  Is this true?  What is the maximum tire size I can safely run on this truck?

Those tires won't tear up the transmission but they probably would rub and tear up your fenders without a lift.
