I currently have the All Terrain tires on the truck (they got installed on delivery) and I wanted to know if theirs a big difference in gas mileage if I were to swap the tires back to the OEM ones for the summer (cost $160 to swap and another $160 to swap back to the A/T for next winter)
Thanks in advance!
When I bought my '21 in January '22, the stock OEM all-season tires were junk.
I would sell the OEM tires and buy something decent. A crap tire won't help you to enjoy your truck and won't last long. Any amount you can get is best used for gas money or towards buying good tires, as others have mentioned already.
Fortunately for me, I had just bought new summer & winter tires for my previous truck and negotiated a big tire shuffle.
The dealer sold me new 17" OEM steel rims for $69 Canadian each and installed my BFG KO2s that I dropped off. And transferred the Michelin Defenders from my trade-in to the Ram 20" rims.
As previously mentioned, peeling tires off the rim every 6 months will not help in the longevity of the tires.
If you want both summer & winter tires, a set of steel rims for the winter tires is cost-effective for new or used rims, steel is better than alloy up here where the roads are filled with chemical crap, and if you have the space/time/trolly jack, very easy to switch between seasons yourself or rotate on mileage/use.
Also, as much as I love blasting around the snow-covered roads with my BGFs, I look forward to installing the summer wheels with Michelin Defenders every year. They're a bit quieter, make the ride feel a bit more luxurious, and increase my mileage a wee bit.
That's what I tell myself anyway.
