2014 RAM Vans marked a turning point for the brand’s commercial lineup, with the ProMaster bringing a tall-roof, front-drive European-style cargo van format into the American work-van market. That gave RAM Vans a very focused mission for the year: practical hauling, fleet duty, and upfit versatility rather than a broad spread of passenger models. Across all three ProMaster models, the tire choice is unusually straightforward because the 1500, 2500, and 3500 all use the same 225/75R16 radial size. The key step before choosing a tire is confirming your exact ProMaster model and intended use, then making sure the tire matches your wheel width and load needs.
Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2014 RAM Vans
Only one tire size is used across 2014 RAM Vans vehicles, and all three ProMaster models share it. Because the year and make stay on a single 16-inch radial fitment, the real decision is less about cross-shopping multiple sizes and more about confirming that 225/75R16 matches your van and wheel. Understanding that before choosing a product saves time and helps ensure the right match.
225/75R16 is a metric radial size with a 225-millimeter section width, a 75-series aspect ratio, radial construction, and a fitment for 16-inch wheels. For 2014 RAM Vans, this size is available from BFGoodrich with an RWL sidewall and an S speed rating, which carries a 112 mph ceiling. Since this size is shared across the full ProMaster range, it is the universal fitment starting point for the year and make. Buyers who use their van regularly and want a modern radial construction should focus here, then confirm wheel width and load suitability against the specific product.
Three 2014 RAM Vans models are covered here: ProMaster 1500, ProMaster 2500, and ProMaster 3500. All three use the same tire size, so the main difference from model to model is not basic tire diameter but how the van was positioned for lighter or heavier-duty commercial work. Select your model below for model-specific fitment history and products.
2014 RAM Vans ProMaster 1500
The 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster 1500 was the lighter-duty entry in the ProMaster range, aimed at cargo and delivery work where maneuverability and interior volume mattered as much as payload. Its tires mount on 16-inch wheels, matching the rest of the ProMaster family for this model year.
The 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster 2500 sat in the middle of the lineup and served buyers who needed more capability without moving to the heaviest version of the platform. Like the other ProMaster models, it uses 16-inch wheel fitment, which keeps tire selection consistent across the range.
The 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster 3500 was the heavy-duty end of the lineup, often chosen for demanding cargo, service-body, and upfit applications. It also rides on 16-inch wheels, so the tire size remains consistent even though the model’s job description is more work-focused.
One product is available across one tire size for 2014 RAM Vans vehicles. The 225/75R16 fitment has one BFGoodrich radial option with an RWL sidewall; confirm that your 225/75R16 preference matches your van’s wheel width and load requirements before selecting.
These FAQs cover the single shared 225/75R16 fitment used across 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster models, along with wheel-width compatibility, load and pressure considerations, sidewall style, and the inspection habits that matter on a working van or low-mileage fleet vehicle.
Size Basics & Fitment
What tire sizes fit 2014 RAM Vans vehicles?
All 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster models covered here use the same tire size: 225/75R16. That includes the 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster 1500, ProMaster 2500, and ProMaster 3500. The tire mounts on a 16-inch rim, and the available product for this size is built for a 6.0- to 7.0-inch rim width range.
That shared fitment makes year-and-make research simpler than it is for many commercial vehicles, since you are not sorting through multiple diameters or mixed front-and-rear sizes. The important next step is confirming that your actual wheels fall within the tire’s approved width range and that the tire’s load capability suits how your specific ProMaster is used.
What does 225/75R16 mean on a 2014 RAM Vans tire?
On a 2014 RAM Vans tire, 225/75R16 means the tire is 225 millimeters wide, uses a 75-series aspect ratio, and has radial construction, with the final 16 indicating a 16-inch wheel diameter. The "R" in the code is what identifies it as a radial tire rather than an older bias-ply format.
For a ProMaster owner, that size code is the foundation for choosing a proper replacement. It tells you the tire’s basic dimensions and wheel fitment, but it does not replace checking the individual tire’s load rating, speed rating, and approved rim width. Those details matter especially on vans that may carry tools, cargo, or commercial upfits.
Do all 2014 RAM Vans models use the same tire size?
Yes, the 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster 1500, 2500, and 3500 all use 225/75R16 tires. There is no year-level split here between one model using a different diameter or a different section width. That makes the basic fitment consistent across the full ProMaster family.
Even with a shared size, the model still matters because a 1500, 2500, and 3500 may be used very differently in the real world. A lightly used personal van and a heavily loaded work van can both wear the same size but place different demands on load capacity, inflation discipline, and overall tire condition.
Buying the Right Tire
What sidewall styles are available for 2014 RAM Vans tires?
For 2014 RAM Vans in 225/75R16, the available sidewall style is RWL, or raised white letters. That gives the tire a more aggressive light-truck appearance than a plain blackwall sidewall, which suits the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 character and its truck-oriented visual style.
Sidewall appearance matters more than many buyers expect, especially if the van doubles as a personal-use or show-support vehicle rather than staying in anonymous fleet duty. If appearance is part of the decision, confirm that an RWL sidewall matches the look you want before moving on to other details like load capacity and wheel-width compatibility.
What brands make tires for 2014 RAM Vans vehicles?
BFGoodrich is available for the 2014 RAM Vans 225/75R16 fitment. The tire offered in this size is the All-Terrain T/A KO2, a radial light-truck design with an S speed rating and a raised white letter sidewall. That makes the brand coverage for this year and make very focused rather than broad.
A narrow brand selection can actually simplify the search, because the question becomes whether that tire’s character matches how your ProMaster is used. If your van sees mixed pavement, jobsite access roads, or general-purpose service duty, focus on whether the tire’s construction, load rating, and wheel-width range line up with your needs.
What is the difference between the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 and another 2014 RAM Vans tire choice?
Within this 2014 RAM Vans fitment, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 stands alone rather than sitting beside several directly comparable alternatives in the same size here. Its key traits are a 225/75R16 radial construction, a 2,680-pound maximum load at 80 psi, a 16-inch rim diameter, a 6.0- to 7.0-inch rim width range, and an RWL sidewall.
Because there is not a second same-size option to compare line by line, the practical approach is to judge the KO2 against your van’s intended use. Check whether the load rating, pressure requirement, appearance, and wheel-width compatibility suit your ProMaster before treating it as the right choice for your application.
Fitting & Setup
What rim width do 2014 RAM Vans tires require?
The 225/75R16 tire used on 2014 RAM Vans is built for a 6.0- to 7.0-inch rim width range. It also fits a 16-inch rim diameter. Both of those numbers matter, because a tire can share the correct diameter but still be a poor match if the wheel is too narrow or too wide.
Before replacing tires on a ProMaster, verify the actual wheel dimensions rather than assuming every 16-inch wheel is interchangeable. This is especially important on cargo vans that may have seen wheel swaps, aftermarket steel wheels, or fleet replacement parts over time. Matching both diameter and width range helps the tire seat and perform as intended.
Do 2014 RAM Vans tires require inner tubes?
The available 225/75R16 product for 2014 RAM Vans does not carry a tube-type marking. Its size and construction point to a modern radial fitment rather than an older tube-required application. That makes the fitment straightforward compared with vintage sizes where tube choice is part of the ordering decision.
Even so, tube use is only one part of the setup conversation. A van owner should still inspect the wheels for condition, confirm the valve stems are correct and in good shape, and make sure the wheel itself is suitable for the tire being installed. Commercial-duty use puts extra importance on getting those basics right.
Maintenance, Storage & Longevity
How should I store a 2014 RAM Vans when the tires are fitted?
A 2014 RAM Vans vehicle should be stored out of direct sunlight, away from electric motors or equipment that generate ozone, and in an area where standing moisture is not a constant problem. Keeping the tires properly inflated and moving the van occasionally helps avoid prolonged stress in one contact patch, especially on a vehicle that carries weight.
Commercial vans often sit for stretches and then return to service suddenly, which can hide tire aging until a long drive is planned. If the van will be parked for an extended period, reduce unnecessary load, keep the tires clean, and inspect sidewalls and tread blocks before the next use rather than assuming low mileage means the tires are still ready.
How long do tires on a 2014 RAM Vans typically last?
Tires on a 2014 RAM Vans should be judged by age and condition as much as by tread depth. A practical collector-and-fleet rule is to begin evaluating tires closely once they are around five to seven years old, and to treat about ten years as a point where replacement deserves serious consideration regardless of miles. The DOT date code on the sidewall helps establish the tire’s age.
That approach matters because many vans accumulate time differently than passenger cars. Some spend long periods parked, some carry heavy loads, and some see repeated curb contact and urban service. A tire with usable tread can still age out, so combine the date code with regular visual inspection and the van’s real operating history.
How often should tires on a 2014 RAM Vans be inspected?
Tires on a 2014 RAM Vans deserve a quick inspection before every drive and a more thorough inspection before any extended outing or loaded trip. Look for sidewall cracking, cuts, punctures, uneven tread wear, bulges, and signs of air loss. Pressure checks are especially important on a van, because underinflation can affect load carrying and tire heat more quickly than many owners expect.
A short walk-around catches many problems before they become roadside issues. Add a close look at valve stems, wheel condition, and the spare tire if your ProMaster carries one. That simple habit is valuable whether the van is a daily commercial tool, a camper conversion, or a low-mileage support vehicle.
Safety & Road Use
Are 2014 RAM Vans tires safe for highway driving?
The 225/75R16 tire available for 2014 RAM Vans carries an S speed rating, which corresponds to a 112 mph ceiling. That is well above normal U.S. highway speeds, so the tire’s formal speed rating is not usually the limiting factor in real-world ProMaster use. Load condition, inflation, wheel compatibility, and overall vehicle condition matter just as much.
A 2014 RAM Vans ProMaster is still a tall commercial vehicle, and its road manners are shaped by cargo weight, suspension condition, alignment, and braking performance as much as by the tire itself. For highway use, confirm the tire is in good condition, inflated correctly for the application, and matched to the actual wheel before expecting stable long-distance behavior.
What inflation pressure should I use for 2014 RAM Vans tires?
The available 225/75R16 tire for 2014 RAM Vans carries a maximum load of 2,680 pounds at 80 psi. That figure is the tire’s rated maximum load-and-pressure pairing, not automatically the correct day-to-day operating pressure for every ProMaster. Factory vehicle recommendations and the van’s actual loading should guide the final pressure choice.
Use the owner’s manual or vehicle placard for the starting point, then confirm that the tire’s own rating supports how the van is being used. Do not transfer a pressure rule from another size or another commercial vehicle, because inflation strategy depends on both the tire and the way the van is loaded in service.
What should I check before taking a 2014 RAM Vans on a longer drive?
Before a longer drive in a 2014 RAM Vans vehicle, inspect each tire for cracking, cuts, punctures, bulges, and uneven wear, then confirm pressures when the tires are cold. Check the valve stems, wheel condition, and the spare if one is carried. On a van, also pay attention to whether the load in the vehicle is appropriate for the tire and wheel combination.
Tire inspection should be part of a broader pre-trip review on any ProMaster. Brakes, lights, steering feel, suspension condition, and fluid levels all matter on a working van, especially one that may carry cargo or equipment. A careful inspection before departure is far easier than sorting out a tire or mechanical problem on the road.
