Tire choices

ramtaz64 · Jan 23, 2018

Looking to replace the stock tires with something a little more aggressive.. I had the Nitto Trail Grappler on my jeep and loved them but I cannot find them in the size I need 275x60x20 which according to the build sheet is the stock size for my 2015 Ram Express quad cab. Right now it has 265x60x20 tires on it which puzzles me as it only has 19500 miles on it. I bought it used Dec 30, 2017..

This is my first Ram truck......

My second choice would be the goodyear duratrac...

The stock 20 in tire should be 275 60r20. I haven't seen duratracs in a while. A very popular tire is the bfg 2ko I have them on my work truck. Ride good and have good road maners. That's all I can speak for at the moment I haven't been off road or in snow/ice with them.

I had ko2’s on my 03 Ram and loved them. Can’t wait to burn off the crappy stock tires and get some again. Also my buddy just put some duratracs on his Tacoma, also a very nice tire.

Falken Wildpeaks AT3w seem to be growing in popularity too

The KO2 is a nice tire but looking for something a little more aggressive looking. I do like the look of the Falken may have to check them out..

There's a few comments/threads on performance too

I have 20x9 Aluminum Chrome Clad Wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler S RA (Highway All Season) with about 2k miles on them. I just bought the truck and want something more aggressive, looking at Mickey Thompson M/T Metal Series MM366 wheels with Falken Wildpeaks.

Are the duratracs noisy?? The nitto's I had on the jeep were not which was surprising..

I’ll have to ask him again but I don’t think so. My ko2’s were a little noisy but hard to tell on a 3rd gen. A lot more road noise than in my new truck.

Nah the duratracs are pretty quiet tire. Few of my buddy’s have had them and liked them a lot.

Lots of good all terrain tire choices out there. From the threads on the Falken At3w it seems theyre a pretty good tire. If youre looking at stock tire size the At3w is hard to beat for the price.

Ive had Duratracs and they were great tires with not much road noise. In the snow they were awesome. I have also had Ko2s and they were a good tire as well with little road noise. Didnt have them in the snow but theres enough threads out there to comment on that.

When the time comes, I have personally narrowed my choices down to Nitto Ridge Grapplers and Falken Wildpeak At3w.

heck, the Wildpeaks are $290 a tire on 35x12.5r20!

I'll throw in another vote for the Wildpeaks. I put them on my truck and have been nothing but impressed with how they handle everything. Great handling, great looks, great price. IMO you can't beat them, unless you're a brand loyalist that likes to spend extra money on a name.

I have been researching this as well. In the stock 275/60 R20 it looks like nearly all the choices are P-Metric tires. Going up slightly to 275/65 R20 brings in a large selection of LT tires. The KO2's look to be the only LT tire in both sizes.

My concern with the LTs is that all of them are load range E which may be a bit much (KO2 seems to be the exception as it is load range D in both sizes).
LT 275/65 R20 will have more durability and fill the wheel well a bit more, the P275/60 R20 will likely provide a bit better fuel economy.

Decisions decisions!
