Winter road in northern Iceland. Dodge Ram.

Driving toward Öxnadalur, Iceland.
Just testing the HD video capabilities of the compact Canon SD980is camera. The truck is a Dodge Ram 2500, 4WD with 500hp Cummins Diesel and 49" Irok tires. Steady as a freight train.

I realize there is a huge difference between sizes of tires and weights of trucks but how do you think those tires would do in ontario winter weather i.e snow and ice i have an 03 ram 1500 4x4 looking at maybe getting a set of these tires in a 33x12.5

[hjorleifur1961]

@bushmanjack Installing these tires is a huge project. We spent more than a month, working 9-5, cutting, welding and grinding. There's more to it than meets the eye. You can see more in my video "Dodge Ram", as well as read more details about my truck. But I'm sure your truck would be as unstoppable in Ontario as mine is in Iceland.

can you have that car road legal in Norway?

[hjorleifur1961]

@patrolfan007, I believe 49" tires would not be street legal there. Think 35" tires are about the largest in Norway.

where did u get this music?

[hjorleifur1961]

@phaetegon4

Figured out the music. The song is "Lonely Planet" by Paul Mottram.

Now that's how to fit big tires!!! Not a ridiculous 12+ inches of lift! Nice truck.

[hjorleifur1961]

The music is from the Youtube "AudioSwap" library. Sorry, but I've forgotten the name of the tune. Does rather make the video mystical, doesn't it?

This would be the "dream road" for my 2003 Ram 1500 4x4 (4.7L V8). These trucks are built first and foremost for the Great White North. Great flic, Buddy!
