I've said it many times before, I'll say it again... asking that question is like asking what hair color is best on a girlfriend or wife. Everyone is going to have opinions, and none are necessarily wrong.

I am one of the few here who gave the Korean tires a chance. Hankook Dynapro ATm tires aren't as aggressive looking as some, but are awesome in the snow. I have a set on my wife's 2014 Grand Cherokee, and a set on my truck. Love them in the winter.

Other popular tires are the Cooper AT3s, BFG T/A KO2 tires, and Goodyear DuraTracs. All work well in the snow.

Just got falken at3w last week so not enough time to review, but they ride well, a little more highway noise than stock. The price of them will blow the others out. Got mine for under $700 OTD with rebate. I've had grabbers on my old jeep and they were great too!

I've got the Duratracs on my OEM 20's for my winter setup. I like them a lot.

They are retreads- but not in the sense that you think- they are really popular in the keep world- I ran a 35 and a 33" from them on my lifted 1/2 ton I used to have- great tires- I just don't know how I feel about running them on my 3/4 ton due to the weight or the weight I could encure, my old 1/2 ton weighed about 5k pounds- and the pay load alone on my 3/4 ton is 3k pounds... so ya a little weigh difference.

I've ran Cooper's on several of my vehicles, got great service from them. For the RAM, I went with the General Grabber AT2. Love em, quiet, but with an aggressive tread. Based on reviews, they should wear well.
