Your 1500 , I’d run what’s on the door jam , especially the front , the back certainly won’t need 80 psi , and I doubt your stock tires are rated the same as the Coopers . I’d probably run your rears at whatever max payload is on the door jam , but probably get away with a bit less if looking for a better ride , just depends on how they wear , mine wear fine at 45 psi empty .

Not knowing much about the 1500 , and air pressure , but I’d run whatever is on the door jam for the front that covers the weight , that doesn’t change . An E rated tire certainly doesn’t need to run its max air pressure, that’s to cover whatever the tire is rated for in lbs . My Coopers are rated for 3640 @ 80 psi. As far as the rears , again the door jam is max air pressure for max payload , doesn’t have to have that much running empty , as said I run nearly half the air pressure needed for max load when running empty, but my 3500 is a lot rougher riding than a 1500 , plus 80 psi wears the center out running empty , there’s just no where near 3640 lbs on each of those rear tires.

Great question, everyone has their favorites. I have gone through multiple sets of 20" on my Rams and here is my honest opinion. Toyos (because you mention them) I had on my first Ram, replaced the stupid stock tires. I loved them until I realized how much road noise they made (found that out when I replaced them with the Wrangler Duratracs). The Duratracs go on sale regularly and I just thought they looked too cool. Loved those, no road noise and the traction was insane in all types of weather including snow. I replaced those with set #2 of Duratracs but sold the truck. I wished I had kept the tires.

I purchased a new 2017 (new to me) this year and it came with KO2 (BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2). I think they look good, but I am waiting for a sale on Duratracs as:
1. They are not even close to the Duratrac for snow or even wet. Don't know who is doing the testing I see, but that is pure real world experience.
2. THEY ARE NOISY!!!

I drive mainly on pavement and I am sure they are all great for off-roading. My comments are for real world people that have to go to work and aren't on dirt or gravel all the time. If you want a really great looking tire that is great in all kinds of weather and you do a lot of pavement driving, then go with the Duratracs.

No, I don't work for Goodyear or any other tire manufacturer. Just a guy who found out that most All Terrain tires are frickin' noisy on pavement.

Everyone here has names off the top tires you can hear about in threads. I have Duratracs that are overkill for you but they do look nice. I’m sure your not in the market for laying 1600 for four tires like I did, but I also live in Maine.

Well I know I don't like Goodyear, or Firestone, or General. I don't have a man to drive me to and from work when the roads are covered ice, I have me, so I've read lots of reviews. I basically have slicks that i drove on the ice a few weeks ago, felt like I lost a life driving home one evening!! I have very good experiences with Coopers, and my dad ran Toyo on his 2014 ram, which is mine now, I inherited it when my mom passed I'm 2017. So maybe I'm paranoid a bit, but we put our life on top of these tires every day!! BTW Go 49ers!!
