Hey all, new to the forum.. I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4.

Looking at tires... 275.60R.20

I drive mostly Highway in NJ and PA. Want good Wet and dry traction. Low noise (a plus). Need good snow traction also even though it may only snow once a year.

Looked at Pirellii Nero A/S. but reviews say they start to suck around 29K miles

Looked at Bridgestone DUELER H/L ALENZA but reviews say no good in snow..

Looked at BFG all Terrain KO2. Ppl loved it but it may be too noisy..

HELP!!!!

What are you all putting on your Ram?

the KO2's dont make that much noise but i do not like the wet traction they provide. if you dont mind slight noise Duratracs can not be beat in the snow. they offer great wet traction too. i live in NY and run them and they are awesome, i rarely put it in 4wd with them.

I just replaced my OEM Goodyears with General Grabbers. Very good wet traction and had very high reviews for snow. Very smooth and quiet on the road and paid $960 for mounting, balancing and free lifetime balancing if needed out the door including tax.

Yes that's them. After having to baby those OEM Goodyears in the rain it is such wonderful change to have not worry about getting into the throttle on a wet road and spinning the tires.

I suggest you go to the national tire sellers websites such as Tire Rack and look at the consumer reviews for some of the tires you are considering. I spent the month prior to replacing the Goodyears with reading lots of reviews from actual users and that's how I ended up with deciding on the Generals and I'm very happy with my decision.

I just bought Cooper HT plus 275.60.20 from discount tire direct. Great prices, free shipping, I live in NH and deal with all weather conditions.. so far excellent wet and dry traction. Basically zero noise on the highway. Winter is coming so we'll see, bit so far much better than the stock Goodyear

Same for me. I like them haven't tried them on snow yet but that will happen soon enough.

If they do decent in snow I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again
