Denman Coyote 305/85R16s

OK, I know these tires are out of production. I have what may be one of the last sets produced (manu'd Apr of '02). Trouble is, I have one that won't balance any longer & another that vibrates badly even though it balances.

I just got off the phone w/ Denman & they said they may do a production run if they get enough interest. What's enough interest? Possibly 50 sets of tires or 100-135 tires total. For a group this size that shouldn't be hard. If we can buy as a group, we may get a better price. The man who makes the decision is Jim Pearl, Senior Vice President of Sales at Denman. His e-mail is jim@denmantire.com. If you are interested in these tires drop him a msg. Denman is the only manufacturer who makes this size tire in a non-super aggressive tread design. Ours are studded as well.

It is a 10-ply rated tire & I've seen them go 100K miles. I have them on my '02 4x4 on stock rims w/o any suspension modification. Earlier Rams may require a 2" suspension leveling kit to fit them. We're bummed we can't get them replaced & our only option now is to switch to an 8 ply 315/75R16 (34.75" tire).

Let's see where this goes. I'll try to post a photo of our '02 w/ them on it. For now here's a link to photos of them on my '71 Chevy K20 before we put them on the Ram.
