2019 Dodge Trucks covered two very different family haulers, with the three-row Durango leaning toward a bolder, rear-drive-based SUV feel and the Journey serving as a more compact crossover choice. That matters for tires, because 2019 Dodge Trucks did not use one shared size across the range. Instead, the Durango and Journey each carry their own model-specific radial sizes, spread across 17-, 18-, 19-, and 20-inch rim diameters. The first thing to confirm before choosing a tire is your exact model, then the size already fitted to the vehicle or called for on the door placard, since year and make alone are not enough here.
Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2019 Dodge Trucks
Five tire sizes appear across 2019 Dodge Trucks vehicles, and they vary by model rather than being shared across the full range. The real decision starts with confirming whether you have a Durango or a Journey, then matching the correct rim diameter and tire size for that vehicle. Understanding that distinction before choosing a product saves time and helps ensure the right match.
A 265/50R20 is a radial tire with a 265-millimeter section width, a stated 50-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 20-inch wheel. This size is specific to the 2019 Dodge Trucks Durango rather than universal across the year and make. It suits Durango owners who need to stay with the factory-style 20-inch fitment already used on their vehicle.
A 265/60R18 is a radial tire with a 265-millimeter section width, a stated 60-series aspect ratio, and fitment for an 18-inch wheel. This size is specific to the 2019 Dodge Trucks Durango and does not cross over to the Journey. It is the correct path for a Durango that is equipped with the corresponding 18-inch wheel package.
A 295/45R20 is a radial tire with a 295-millimeter section width, a stated 45-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 20-inch wheel. This size is also specific to the 2019 Dodge Trucks Durango, so it should be matched to the vehicle's existing wheel and trim-related setup. It is the larger-width 20-inch Durango option and should be chosen only when that exact size is already called for on the vehicle.
A 225/55R19 is a radial tire with a 225-millimeter section width, a stated 55-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 19-inch wheel. This size is specific to the 2019 Dodge Trucks Journey rather than shared with the Durango. Journey owners should use it only when their vehicle is equipped with the 19-inch wheel fitment.

A 225/65R17 is a radial tire with a 225-millimeter section width, a stated 65-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 17-inch wheel. This size is available from BFGoodrich with an RBL sidewall, an S speed rating with a 112 mph ceiling, and a 2,150-pound load capacity at 65 psi; it mounts on wheels from 6.0 to 8.0 inches wide. It is a Journey-specific size and is the one to choose when your vehicle uses the 17-inch wheel setup.
Two models fall under the 2019 Dodge Trucks range here. They do not share the same tire sizes, so identifying whether you have a Durango or a Journey is the key first step before narrowing down fitment.

2019 Dodge Trucks Durango
The 2019 Dodge Trucks Durango is the larger, more performance-flavored SUV in the lineup, with a stance and character that set it apart from the Journey's more crossover-oriented role. Its tires mount on either 18-inch or 20-inch wheels depending on the setup, so wheel diameter matters immediately when selecting the correct size.
The 2019 Dodge Trucks Journey filled the practical family-crossover role, with a simpler packaging focus and a different tire footprint than the Durango. Its tires mount on either 17-inch or 19-inch wheels, which makes the existing wheel package the clearest guide to the right replacement size.
One product is available across five tire sizes for 2019 Dodge Trucks vehicles. The 225/65R17 size for the Journey is covered by BFGoodrich in radial construction with an RBL sidewall, so confirm your exact model, size, and wheel diameter before selecting.
These answers focus on how 2019 Dodge Trucks tire sizes split between Durango and Journey models, what the metric size codes mean, how rim width and load figures apply, and what to inspect on a newer collector or specialty-use SUV.
Size Basics & Fitment
What tire sizes fit 2019 Dodge Trucks vehicles?
2019 Dodge Trucks vehicles use five model-specific radial sizes across two models. The Durango uses 265/50R20, 265/60R18, and 295/45R20, while the Journey uses 225/55R19 and 225/65R17. These sizes do not interchange across the full year-and-make range because they mount on different rim diameters: 17, 18, 19, and 20 inches.
That means year and make alone are not enough to choose correctly for 2019 Dodge Trucks. Start by identifying the model, then confirm the exact size on the vehicle placard or the tire already on the wheel. For the one size with detailed setup information, 225/65R17 fits a 17-inch wheel and works with a 6.0- to 8.0-inch rim width range, which is a useful reminder that wheel compatibility matters along with the tire code itself.
What does 225/65R17 mean on a 2019 Dodge Trucks tire?
On a 2019 Dodge Trucks tire, 225/65R17 is a modern metric radial size. The 225 is the nominal section width in millimeters, 65 is the aspect ratio, R means radial construction, and 17 is the wheel diameter in inches. On the Journey, this is one of the factory-style fitments and it uses a 17-inch wheel.
That code tells you more than just diameter. It also describes the overall proportions of the tire, which affects sidewall height and the relationship between the tire and the wheel opening. If your 2019 Dodge Trucks Journey already wears 17-inch wheels, this is the size family to verify first; if it has 19-inch wheels instead, the correct path is 225/55R19 rather than trying to substitute across wheel diameters.
Do all 2019 Dodge Trucks models use the same tire size?
No, 2019 Dodge Trucks models do not use the same tire size. The Durango has three distinct radial sizes—265/50R20, 265/60R18, and 295/45R20—while the Journey uses 225/55R19 or 225/65R17. Each size is tied to a specific model, and none of the five sizes spans both model lines.
That separation matters because the Durango and Journey occupy different parts of the Dodge utility lineup and use different wheel packages. A buyer comparing tires at the year-and-make level should treat model identification as the first checkpoint, not the last. Once the model is confirmed, match the wheel diameter next, since moving between a 17-, 18-, 19-, or 20-inch tire requires the corresponding wheel and is not a simple same-wheel substitution.
Buying the Right Tire
What sidewall styles are available for 2019 Dodge Trucks tires?
Sidewall style coverage for 2019 Dodge Trucks is straightforward in the currently covered product range. The 225/65R17 Journey size is available with an RBL sidewall, which stands for raised black letters. No alternate whitewall or specialty sidewall treatment appears in the available 2019 Dodge Trucks product coverage here.
For a late-model SUV or crossover such as a 2019 Dodge Trucks Journey or Durango, blackwall and raised-black-letter appearances are generally the most natural visual fit. Sidewall style is mostly an appearance choice unless you are trying to match the look of the existing set exactly. If visual consistency matters, especially on a vehicle with one tire being replaced, check the sidewall treatment on the tires already mounted before committing to a new product.
What brands make tires for 2019 Dodge Trucks vehicles?
BFGoodrich is represented in the current 2019 Dodge Trucks product coverage, specifically in the 225/65R17 size used on the Journey. The available example is the All-Terrain T/A KO2, a radial tire with an RBL sidewall. No additional brand coverage appears here for the other 2019 Dodge Trucks sizes.
Brand choice matters differently on a modern utility vehicle than it does on a vintage restoration. On a 2019 Dodge Trucks application, the more useful comparison is usually between the exact size, load capability, sidewall appearance, and intended use of the tire rather than brand heritage alone. If your vehicle uses one of the other Durango or Journey sizes, confirm that the size itself matches first, then compare the specific tire's construction and service description before making a final selection.
What is the difference between the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 and a standard highway-style tire for a 2019 Dodge Trucks?
For a 2019 Dodge Trucks Journey in 225/65R17, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 shown here carries a 107S service description, a 2,150-pound load capacity at 65 psi, a 17-inch rim diameter, and a 6.0- to 8.0-inch rim width range. It also uses an RBL sidewall and has a 39-pound tire weight. Those traits point toward a more truck-oriented design than a typical smooth-tread highway replacement.
That does not automatically make it the right answer for every 2019 Dodge Trucks owner. An all-terrain tire can make sense for rough-weather use, light trail driving, or a tougher visual style, while a highway-focused tire often suits primarily paved-road use. The key is to match the tire's character to how the Journey is actually driven, while still keeping the exact 225/65R17 size and 17-inch wheel requirement in place.
Fitting & Setup
What rim width do 2019 Dodge Trucks tires require?
Rim width guidance within the current 2019 Dodge Trucks coverage is available for the 225/65R17 Journey size. That tire fits a wheel width range of 6.0 to 8.0 inches and mounts on a 17-inch rim diameter. The other 2019 Dodge Trucks sizes here are identified by tire size and wheel diameter, but no additional rim width ranges appear alongside them.
Rim width is worth checking because the correct tire size can still perform poorly if mounted on a wheel that is too narrow or too wide for the product. When replacing tires on a 2019 Dodge Trucks Journey with 225/65R17 fitment, confirm both the 17-inch diameter and that the wheel falls within the accepted width window. On other Durango and Journey sizes, verify the existing OE wheel specifications before changing tire models.
Do 2019 Dodge Trucks tires require inner tubes?
The available 2019 Dodge Trucks tire coverage here is entirely radial, and the 225/65R17 Journey product shown uses a modern metric size and service description without any tube-type marking. That points to a tubeless-style application rather than an inner-tube setup. No tube-type designation appears anywhere in the current 2019 Dodge Trucks size coverage.
Even so, the wheel itself still has to be suitable for tubeless service and in sound condition. On a 2019 Dodge Trucks vehicle that should usually mean checking for bent rims, bead-seat corrosion, or damaged valve stems rather than planning around tube installation. If you are working with replacement wheels or a vehicle that has been modified from stock, confirm the wheel specification as carefully as the tire size.
Maintenance, Storage & Longevity
How should I store a 2019 Dodge Trucks when the tires are fitted?
A 2019 Dodge Trucks stored on its tires should be kept away from direct sunlight, standing moisture, and strong ozone sources such as electric motors, welders, and some battery tenders. Inflate the tires to the vehicle's normal stored pressure, park on a clean surface, and move the vehicle periodically if it will sit for extended periods. Radial tires generally tolerate storage better than older bias-ply designs, but they still age from environment and time.
Long static storage can create pressure loss, localized flat spotting, and sidewall weathering even on a newer SUV or crossover. If a 2019 Dodge Trucks Durango or Journey will sit through a season, rolling it occasionally or supporting it appropriately can help reduce stress on one contact patch. Clean tires and wheels before storage, and keep petroleum-based dressings away from the rubber if long-term preservation is the goal.
How long do tires on a 2019 Dodge Trucks typically last?
On a 2019 Dodge Trucks, tire age usually matters as much as tread depth, especially on vehicles that are driven less than daily. A good rule is to begin evaluating tires closely once they reach the 5- to 7-year range and to treat around 10 years as a serious replacement threshold regardless of remaining tread. The DOT date code on the sidewall is the best way to confirm the tire's actual age.
That is especially important for specialty-use vehicles, collector-kept SUVs, or family vehicles that spend long periods parked. A 2019 Dodge Trucks may still wear tires with plenty of visible tread but have age-related hardening, cracking, or weakened internal materials. Replacement decisions should be based on age, inspection results, and service condition together rather than mileage alone.
How often should tires on a 2019 Dodge Trucks be inspected?
Tires on a 2019 Dodge Trucks should be inspected before every drive and more thoroughly before any longer trip. Look for sidewall cracking, punctures, bulges, uneven wear, low pressure, and any sign that the tire has been run underinflated. Because these are modern radial applications, tread-depth consistency and shoulder wear are especially useful clues to alignment or inflation issues.
A quick walkaround catches problems early, while a more deliberate inspection every month or two can prevent surprises on the road. On a 2019 Dodge Trucks Journey running 225/65R17 tires, include the valve stems and the spare in the routine as well. If the vehicle has been parked for a long time, inspect before the next drive rather than assuming the tires are fine simply because they looked good when stored.
Safety & Road Use
Are 2019 Dodge Trucks tires safe for highway driving?
Yes, 2019 Dodge Trucks tires can be suitable for highway driving when the exact size, condition, and service rating match the vehicle's needs. The 225/65R17 Journey tire covered here carries an S speed rating, which corresponds to a 112 mph ceiling. That is well above normal U.S. highway speeds, but safe road use still depends heavily on inflation, load, alignment, and the overall mechanical condition of the vehicle.
For a 2019 Dodge Trucks Durango or Journey, the tire's speed symbol should be treated as one part of the picture rather than a target. Heat, cargo load, suspension wear, and underinflation can all reduce real-world safety margins long before the rating itself becomes the limiting factor. If the vehicle is used for family travel or longer interstate runs, verify that all four tires match appropriately and that no aged-out spare is being overlooked.
What inflation pressure should I use for 2019 Dodge Trucks tires?
Inflation pressure on a 2019 Dodge Trucks should follow the vehicle placard or owner's manual first, since those figures are matched to the vehicle's weight distribution and intended use. For the 225/65R17 Journey tire covered here, the tire itself carries a maximum load capacity of 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. That is the tire's rated maximum, not automatically the everyday running pressure for every 2019 Dodge Trucks application.
Use the factory recommendation as your normal baseline unless the tire manufacturer and vehicle application call for something different. The important point is not to transfer a pressure figure from one size to another or from one model to another, because the Durango and Journey use different tire dimensions and wheel packages. Check pressures cold and recheck them whenever temperatures swing significantly.
What should I check before taking a 2019 Dodge Trucks on a longer drive?
Before taking a 2019 Dodge Trucks on a longer drive, inspect each tire for cracking, cuts, punctures, sidewall bulges, irregular wear, and proper cold inflation pressure. Check the spare as well, along with the valve stems and wheel condition. On a vehicle of this age, it is also smart to look beyond the tires to brakes, fluids, battery health, and suspension condition before setting off.
That broader check matters because tire trouble often starts with another issue, such as an alignment problem, dragging brake, or neglected suspension component. A 2019 Dodge Trucks Durango or Journey used for road trips should feel stable, track straight, and show even wear across the tread. If the tires have aged significantly while the vehicle sat, a close inspection before the trip is more useful than relying on tread depth alone.
