My SRA's will be about done by 40,000 or so. Our winters aren't TERRIBLE in Southern Illinois, but I also have a hunting cabin in the woods with a pretty bad road.

Usually you always see those tires on lifted / leveled trucks and I don't need all that, just some better off road performance from time to time. Just the stock size ; 275/60-20 . Is it ever done? Does it look wrong?

Got pictures?

I just put wildpeaks on my truck the other day. Went with stock size but I do have the bilsteins. The tires look great and ride really nice. Had mine on the highway a couple hours after install and rode very smooth at 70-75 mphtruck.jpg . I have pics but they don't do the truck justice. They look so much better in person. I was worried how they would look and was pleasantly surprised when they pulled my truck out of the install bay. May have taken a 2 mpg hit but that has yet to be determined as I also installed a K&N air filter at the same time.

My son has a 2018 2500 6.4 Hemi and swapped to K02's. He works in the fields and had got stuck in the mud a few times with the stock Firestones. So far he likes the K02's and hasn't got stuck yet with it. He hasn't had them in snow yet but his truck is 100% stock other than the tires.

Rebels come with Duratracs and have the same stance....I liked the overall performance and wear that I got from both sets of Duratracs I have owned on other vehicles.

Anymore photos of trucks with stock suspensions and stock wheels, with beefier all terrain tires? My truck has the base 17”x7 wheels which look way too small in my opinion. Unfortunately 265/70/17 is the largest size you can run on a 17x7. I’d love to upgrade the wheels but I’m wondering if some better looking tires will do the trick

Don’t have any of those particular tires, but I do have a stock 2wd with 285/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on it. Great tires, ride smooth, very little road noise for a hybrid (AT/mud tire). Only downside is they are expensive and do not come with a tread warranty like most tires

285/70/17 will run on there no problem.

I ran 315/70/17 on GM oem 17x7.5, never an issue, wore fine.

I stuck with 265/70/17 grabber AT2s as they cost peanuts here, and I have 3.6/3.21 and commute

OEM 275 60 20 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws, here in SD, they're awesome in the snow. They carry the 3PMSF rating as well. Alot of the Ranchers here run em, they love them. Mine are on the stock suspension. On the unplowed early Oct snowfall from a couple weeks ago, they rocked! Quiet for an AT tire!1ecb104a8be9db7f17bf14546f952dec.jpg4566b28aa03637ca23fcac40f7e43641.jpg69792c052cd991762a8518100ae088bd.jpg

I have the Duratracs on my 2013 Ram Sport, (20" tires), and BFG KO 2's, (18") on our Jeep Wrangler unlimited. I know for a fact that both of these tires are excellent in the snow, and all around performance I don't think you can go wrong with any of the brands you mentioned, they will all be better then your SRA's....

Stock sized duratracs on stock everything else. Bought the truck in january with bald SRAs, duratracs were on the shelf the day I was done playing around. They have seen a few months of the wisco winter expierence and been great so far.

I have always loved the BFG AT I had the KO and KO2 and loved them both. Great traction and great looks. They also wear really well.
