35x12.50r18 Recommendations

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Everyone's trucks look great. After reading a lot of reviews and doing a lot of research online, I actually ended up going with a 2 1/2" Rough Countey leveling kit and 35x12.50 BFG Mud Terrain KM3s. I read several reviews and talked to the guy at the tire shop and they all swear you can get 40,000 miles plus with regular rotations. They are also super quiet, which you wouldn't expect from a mud tire. The cabs on these new Rams are pretty quiet but I could not hear any road noise whatsoever with these tires . We'll see if that changes as they wear.

I have nitro ridge grapplers and they a quiet no noise difference between them and the stock fire stones. I can’t speak for mileage I have only had them for about 1500 miles.

My dad has those on his F150 and they are louder than my Toyos. They look great.

They may change once they get some wear on them. But right now I am hearing zero road noise.

same as davalt75 I no 0 road noise. Only 1500 miles maybe that changes as they wear down.

@davalt75 @14hemiexpress His are close to half their life done and man they are loud. I read that they were quiet and when he was looking at said truck I told him all reviews talk about how quiet they are. He kind of blames me for that lol. They are good looking tires for sure. I loved my old Ridge Grapplers. Nitto makes a good tire.

No problem like I said they are good looking tires. They seem to be wearing very well as well. Just really noisy. I should do a decibel test between his and mine and see what the difference is.

Nitro Ridge grapplers. Aggressive looking tread and as quiet as the G2 terra grapplers I replaced. They ride nicer at 60psi than the Terra grappler at 45psi. Better wet traction and I picked up one mpg being able to run them at 60psi. And to boot I went from a 17 inch wheel to a 20 so less sidewall but still ride nicer. Just towed my 9k camper and they were great. Balanced out easily and truly round. I'd highly recommend them! Even though both tires were 35's the Ridge was considerably taller.

Firestone XT is a little more aggressive, also a fairly quiet tire if you rotate them regularly. The more aggressive and open the tread is, the more often you need to rotate them.

I ran 35” Toyo At2 extremes on my 1500 and was really happy with them. Some noise but nothing that bothered me. Mostly when driving in the far left lane next to a divider on the freeway is when I heard them. Other than that quiet in the can with the windows open.

Yokohama Geolandar 35x12.5x17 they are super quiet, only have 5K miles on them but they are so sweet... I replaced the 33" Goodyear tires which are advertised to be 60K mile tires and lasted 33K...

No mud tire will ever be quiet. Once they break in...they will get loud compared to an AT.

I'm considering the same tire for my PW. How have they been performing since you installed them several month's ago?

I don't put a lot of miles on my truck so the tires still only have 2,500 miles on them. But they are still whisper quiet. Even with the windows down I hardly hear anything at all. They also ride good for an E rated mud tire. It's hard to gauge tread life with the mileage still being so low but so far I hardly notice any wear at all.

Lookin great!
