PROBEM SOLVED: As a few members posted, an LT245/75R17E size tire will fit the 2021 RAM 3500 1-Ton dually. Was also able to find the tires I wanted all along in that size tire... the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and/or a Michelin LTX M/S2 tire.

Bought a set of 6 Michelin LTX M/S2s from Tire Buyer dot com. These are the same tires I had on my previous Tow Vehicle (2011 RAM 2500 CC/LB 4x4).

Hopefully this post will help someone else to DUMP the NEXEN tires and find a good Michelin Defender/LTX M/S2 set of replacement tires for a RAM 3500 DRW Tow vehicle. It was a costly lesson for me, but now I have 100% confidence in the tires to drive with peace of mind and comfort. Hard to put a price on that...

THANKS to all for your inputs, even those with the snide comments. I won't bother with another 'silly' post or 'complain' on the forum again.

Thanks for the follow up. And after reading this thread this morning, I realized that it is indeed 245/75/17's that are available, not 245/80/17 as I stated previously. It's been a couple of years since I replaced my tires. [emoticon]
