Bridgetsone Duelers came on my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie. They're worn out at 19K miles and I've ripped two sidewalls.

Looking at something with a tougher sidewalk and good winter/wet traction. I tow very little (light tractor) but do haul loads of stone, dirt and pressure-treated wood.

Looking for advice on a better tire that will hold up and maybe give me a few more miles than the Bridgestones.

Dealer offered the Nexian Roadians or the Goodyear Wranglers but it doesn't look like they're any better. Anyone find something they like?

My Bridgestones have 33k and are showing wear. I am hoping for 45k, gonna be tight. I would like a tire that would go 60k. I do nothing but highway, never in snow. People tell me the Coopers and Toyo's are good. I have had a bad experience with Yokohama's.

I've had very good luck with Coopers on my old Tundra. I currently have Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 1500 with about 43000 miles on them with enough meat on the bones to not make me consider new tires for a while (they are F-rated which probably has something to do with how long they're lasting). The truck tows and goes off-road occasionally. No complaints on the highway in both dry and wet weather. I'd replace this set with another fresh set of the same with no hesitation.

My Cooper AT 4S have worked well for me in all weather conditions in far north jersey. I did loose 1.5 mpg though. Michelin Defenders Ltd Mud and snow seem pretty popular also.

Just put Firestone Destination A/T2s on and so far I like them a lot. Not street Tires and not overly aggressive.

The Falken Wildpeak A/T that came on my 19 have been a decent tire,
they are LT275/65R18C's.

Added Falken Wildpeak AT3W so far I like them. but haven't driven them in winter yet.
They were good for me in this past Snow Blitz where we got like 10 years of snow in 1 1/2 days, had 8 inches out there, frozen, not plowed, Falkens did well.

On my second set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. I like them a lot. Pretty quiet on the road. Great traction when you need it.

I have a 2019 Laramie 4X4 with the same tires. I don't expect a lot out of stock tires. But at 15,000 miles very little sign of wear. How did yours wear out at 19,000. Burn outs, donuts? Just curious.

I really dislike the Bridgestones that came on my '20 truck. They seem to be wearing quickly, and they road walk a bit. They seem bad in the rain too. Can't wait to get Michelins on it. Will likely go up one size in height to fill out the wells a bit better.

Go America and buy Firestone Destination MT2's. They are made in the good ol US of A and I have been using them on my trucks sense 2004. They last me a good 5-years. I currently have 73k on a set that should last one more year. 10 ply, very tough tire, have never had a flat. Ride is great. You can bump up tire pressure in the Summer and lower it for better traction in the Winter. Get a second set studded for Winter and you're set! It's a truck you don't want to put silly street tires on it! I believe they have a deal going on right now where you can get up to $120 off a set. I'm sticking with Firestone! Good Luck, to each his own.

I know Goodyear aren't favored here but I've got Trailrunner ATs and I love them. Look good, sound good. Decent price, nice tread and 55000 mile warranty.

I just got a set of Cooper Discoverer ATs from Walmart for 136 bucks each for the 10 ply. Couldn't be happier. Shop next door installed them for $72.
