AKRON (May 31, 2001)—Goodyear has announced it will supply original equipment tires as part of a 20-inch wheel package for Dodge's 2002 Ram 1500 truck models.
Depending on the model selected, the Ram 1500 comes equipped with either 20-inch Eagle touring performance tires or 20-inch Wrangler light truck tires—both firsts for Goodyear, a company spokesman said.
The Goodyear Eagle LS P275/55R20 will be original equipment for 4x2 truck of the 1500 trucks, while the Wrangler HP P275/60R20 is specified for the 4x4, Goodyear said.
According to Goodyear, the 20-inch tire applications give Ram the “largest-in-class braking system,” which includes a rear-wheel anti-lock brakes on all models.
