RAM 3500 Spare Tire
The RAM 3500 series vehicles come equipped with a full-size spare tire as a standard feature, typically housed under the cargo bed, towards the back of the vehicle. The size and type of the spare tire can vary depending on the model and actual tire package of the vehicle. In general, a Ram 3500 may come with spare tires that are similar in size to the vehicle's regular tires, which could range from LT285/60R20E to LT235/80R17E all-season tires, providing maximum durability and traction in various conditions. However, it's essential to always consult the vehicle's user manual or a certified technician to know the exact specifications of the RAM 3500 spare tire.
RAM 3500 models manufactured from 2011 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 31.6" to 33.5", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific RAM 3500 years and trims.
Based on tire and vehicle specs, using a traditional full-size tire as a spare is recommended for all RAM 3500 applications.
