If I were stuck between a couple different tires, I would go out shopping and see the tires in person. Then decide.

oh lol. Dangit! See I am stuck between going Defender and a AT tire. Don't Plan on going crazy off roading but want my family safe without going winter tires.

The LTX isn’t that aggressive of a tire. I read somewhere a guy used his truck as a plough and would only use the LTX AT tire. The only reason I didn’t go with the Michelin is they aren’t aggressive enough. That might be a good choice for you [emoji106]

Good Idea, just wanted to get some advice from some seasoned Ram owners as this is my first Ram Truck.

I've been exactly where you are. As for advice, can only tell you what I did for my last ram. I found for Everytime I checked on line, the reviews were mixed between the best tires ever to, they s@@ked. So reviews didn't help. I just figured out where was going to do most of my driving. Ended up with mastercraft Corsair plus. Nothing fancy, good in Ain, dry roads and light snow. They were p rated and did what I needed. Might not be the best tire for you if you need to get around in deep snow. I have a wrangler for that and some light off road to get to some fishing spots. This spring I am going to put the wildpeak At3 on the wrangler based on the reviews from this forum.

Is there any way you can just go to another tire place so you can put what ever you want

Just wanted to add this little fact for anyone that is in the same boat..

My Falken Wildpeaks AT3W are size LT305/55/20.

I read somewhere on this forum about finding inflation tables when going from P-metric to LT type tires. They can be found on Toyo's website. (Thank you whoever provided that guidance).

In using their tables, I calculated a minimum 45 PSI cold. Currently, I'm running 50 PSI which feels just about right and appears as though I have good tire contact. I share all this because if someone is ill-informed, they may choose to run OE 39PSI which is woefully inadequate.

Hope that helps!
